This is Leopard. He's a mascot of the 2014 Winter Olympics
in the city of Sochi in russia.
Leopard loves playing with snow and he loves the steep slopes of the
mountains.
He is also a friend of human rights
and democracy. Leopard thinks
we're all created equal and we should all be treated well.
But something is threatening the lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgendered community in Russia.
An avalanche of homophobic hatred and violence
is sweeping across the country.
Leopard wants the world to know. He is taking a stand against homophobia.
In winter 2014 the whole world will be looking at Russia.
Lets use this opportunity to talk about homophobia.
Not just about homophobia in Russia, but homophobia everywhere.
Because as Leopard uses to say: There's nothing to hate
about love
