As far as her statement goes I have a feeling it is more prompted by her wanting to keep the good will of the Russian President.
As an update Yelena is backing off this statement, as I stated earlier her number one asset is not her brains.
Yes, a very nice asset too.
We all admire Yelena Isinbayeva for her athletic prowess second only to her ass (let's be honest), not so much her brains.

That would be the key to her future success in that nation. In North America, any athlete that sucks up to their government leaders like that would immediately be the subject of widespread suspicion.

I somehow suspect that Boris has no interest in those ... of the female type, anyway.
Who's 'we'?
Ignoring it does not make it go away. People are gay. I don't see the problem. The problem, my dear, is YOU.
In the interim, I saw that Canada will now accept requests for asylum from Russian homosexuals and lesbians and I'm sure Canada will be all the better for taking them in.
The law in question is not 'anti-gay' but I'm sure such a law will be forthcoming.

They've helped to build our ballet in the past. Rudolf Nureyev defected to the West in Canada.

Nureyev defected in France.

Sorry It was Baryshnikov ... in Gander ... going senile.
A man in the USAF is facing the loss of his career because he followed policy and remained silent instead of voicing his views on gay marriage.
It's not enough that he tolerates gay marriage, oh no! He has to endorse it.
The Russians see this crap and know they did the right thing.
"It's all because he didn't say anything wrong. He thought it," said Steven Branson, pastor of Village Parkway Baptist Church in San Antonio. Monk, his wife and their three teenage sons faithfully attend services each Sunday the pastor said.
Branson said he has been in touch with Monk since the sergeant told him Sunday (Aug. 11) of the untenable situation. The pastor said Monk feels abandoned by the institution he has served for 19 years. Deployed as a medic, Monk devoted himself to saving the lives of his fellow service men and women, according to his pastor.
"Now I'm in trouble," Monk told Branson, "and everybody's leaving me behind."
At issue is Monk's refusal to reveal his personal views regarding homosexual marriage to his commanding officer. According to a Fox News report, the commander, a lesbian, asked Monk to report on disciplinary proceedings for an Air Force instructor under investigation for making objectionable comments about homosexual marriage during a training session.
According to Fox News, Monk interviewed the instructor and determined his comments were not intentionally provocative. But some trainees complained. Monk suggested that his commander use the incident as a learning tool about tolerance and diversity, but to no avail.
"Her very first reaction was to say, 'We need to lop off the head of this guy.' The commander took the position that his speech was discrimination," Monk reportedly recounted.
Branson said the commander began to press Monk about his views on the issue.
Fox reported, "She said, 'Sgt. Monk, I need to know if you can, as my first sergeant, if you can see discrimination if somebody says that they don't agree with homosexual marriage.'"
Having witnessed the commander's ire regarding the instructor, Monk declined to answer. He also understood Air Force policy demands silence from homosexual detractors.
"She got angrier and angrier with him," Branson said. "So he got fired for something she thinks he believes."
The action will be a mark on an otherwise spotless record. Branson called Monk "pure military" -- a real "do-it-by-the-book" serviceman who also happens to be a strong Christian.
It is because of his faith and the lesson he wants to teach his sons that compels him to take action. As Monk told his pastor, "I'm going to teach my boys they can't run from everything."
Says the woman who puts a big pole between her legs and jumps on it.
I like this one! He understands!
