Activists rallied in New York on February 5 to call on sponsors of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi to speak out against Russian anti-gay legislation. The event was organized by gay-rights group All Out and took place simultaneously in some 20 cities around the world. Gay rights activists say Russian legislation which forbids "the propaganda of nontraditional sexual relationships to minors" is used to persecute homosexuals.
