I think that the backlash to Sochi 2014 Olympics over gay rights is more US Russophobic propaganda than genuine concern for human rights. CMV

The reason why I say this, is there are MANY MANY countries in the world that have made homosexuality illegal, even punishable by death or imprisonment: Russia is not one of them.

The US allies and partners Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Kenya, UAE, Qatar, India (nominally) Jamaica have made homosexuality a criminal offense! India outlawed homosexuality outright only a month or two ago, and yet the focus is on Sochi because 'The Olympics suddenly make homosexuality punishable by death or imprisonment less important than a vague law that makes homosexual sex practices (this is what the actual law says, I speak Russian, it's on the Kremlin's website if you're interested and can read Russian) being taught to children, when those same people would be killed in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia? Comment sections across the internet on Russophobic articles often echo the same questions (and indeed, many Russians have an increasingly negative view of gay people that ironically didn't exist before because now they see gay NGOs as persecuting them unfairly--and given their lack of activity in Saudi Arabia or Jamaica, they may be right)

Tl;Dr if Obama really cared about gay rights as much as they say they do re: Russia, why doesn't he send an openly gay ambassador to Saudi Arabia, for example?

Its not being anti-Russian, its because the focus of the Olympics is on Russia and the law was introduced just recently.  If the Olympics were in Saudi Arabia or Jamaica or any other country you mentioned, the criticism would be on their recently passed laws too.
