A Russian lawmaker has said the gay propaganda law will remain enforced during the Sochi Winter Olympic Games in 2014.
Vitaly Milonov, co-sponsor of the non-traditional relationships bill, said the government cannot decide when to selectively enforce the law.
It comes as the International Olympic Committee said the Russian government had assured them all athletes and spectators will be safe from arrest.
Speaking to Interfax and as translated by GSN, Milonov said: I have not heard any comments from the government of the Russian Federation but I know it is acting in accordance with Russian law.
