Should Russian vodka be taken off the shelves of LGBT bars?

“No, it strikes me as petty. LGBTs have problems everywhere. If you’re going to boycott all products connected to LGBT oppression, you’re not going to have much of a life. You’ll have to live in a bubble, with very few things to do.”

“No. Your goal is to win people over, not alienate them. Granted, LGBTs are mistreated in Russia. But you don’t solve the problem by behaving in a similar manner. It just adds a negative to your rap sheet. It’s not helpful.”

“If gay bars want to boycott Russian vodka, that’s fine with me. It might send a ripple of hope to that far-off country. The situation for LGBTs in Russia is pretty bad. It sounds like Nazi Germany in 1933.”
