To Russia with Love

Leading up to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, a law banning the “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations to minors” – which could potentially be enforced against any LGBT person if they “flaunted” their status – was enacted in Russia. Human rights activists and LGBT people involved in the Games contemplated what to do about the situation. To Russia with Love documents their responses and reactions, speaking to a variety of contributors, including current and former Olympians and local LGBT campaigners.

Followed by a panel discussion on the political situation surrounding events. In partnership with LEAP Sports Scotland, Abertay LGBT Society, and Allsorts LGBT Youth Group.
