Caroline calls on Government to take a stand for LGBT rights in Russia

Caroline has written to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office calling for a boycott of the 2014 winter olympics in protest at Russia's anti-LGBT laws.

Caroline said:  “The Prime Minister has said he wants to export same-sex marriage around the world.   But it’s not enough for Britian to set an example, we should also be actively fighting attacks on LGBT people across the world, and in particular by governments.  It’s sad then that Mr Cameron won’t take a strong stand against  explicitly homophobic laws in Russia.  A boycott of the winter olympics would send an unambiguous message that Britain stands for equality and fairness.”
