Adam will be fine. If any Russian government touches Adam (national or city), the US State Dept will be all over them. And it will raise real issues about the upcoming Olympics and gay athletes (and sponsors from Europe and US being involved) americablog.com/2013/02/russia-olympics-2014-sochi-gay.html If anything happens it will be in St. Petersburg which passed an anti-homosexual law that bans music that promotes homosexuality. www.spiegel.de/international/world/two-arrested-in-st-petersburg-for-violating-city-s-new-anti-gay-law-a-826199.html These laws seem ridiculous in a globalized information world but they exist. He has managed to do concerts in Russia and other anti-gay countries without issue, and I am sure he will do it again. My sincere hope is that Adam does not get entangled in Russian politics -- but if he does get wrapped up in it, I know he will be fine. Can you imagine how many tweets and emails and phone call Sec of State John Kerry will get if they detain Adam? And the Russian embassies around the world will not know what hit them. |

This post does make me feel a little better. I do worry about Adam when he performs in countries that have these ridiculous laws but Adam seems to rise above it all!  |

ETA: lol, The above article still makes me giggle.
Adam is always smart when he has to perform in certain countries, and I'm sure his team has it all worked out. They won't touch him. Even if they do, the American authorities will have him outta there in a blink. But I don't think he'll have any problems. No worries!

What's next for Russia ... a Russian Inquisition against gays... I'm so disgusted .. The games should go elsewhere .Russia 's anti-gay laws are totally at odds with what the Olympics stand for..
Sick to my stomach over what's going on and in so many places around the world... Many are Afraid of evolution... well It's going to happen even with all the push back..

Anyone from the US should be very slow to condemn any other country over gay rights. In 2003 when the US Supreme Court ruled on Lawrence v. Texas -- Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia — still banned consensual sodomy without respect to the sex of those involved, and four—Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri — prohibited same-sex couples from engaging in anal and oral sex.
We live is a very big glass house here.
Adam is smart and he has managed his path with grace, dignity and without making major concessions. I trust him to charm everyone in Russia as he did in Indonesia and Malaysia.
