During the last Commonwealth Games in Vancouver I distinctly remember reading that the majority of Commonwealth states persecuted gays, including jail, torture and death. Most of these were in Africa. I remember calling for a boycott of the Games. Politicians and media didn't care. They only cared when the Winter Games were in Sochi because, of course, then they could criticize Russia.

(As far as I know being gay is not a crime in Russia. Only they have banned gay events such as Pride.)

We also need an investigation into the treatment of gays in the so-called Islamic world. What's it like being gay in Saudi Arabia, for example?

Or would this be considered 'Islamophobic'?
