Vancouver's gay deputy mayor Tim Stevenson is heading to Sochi ahead of the Games seeking to ensure the safety of LGBTQ athletes, not only in Sochi, but at all future Olympic games.
He will speak with the Canadian and International Olympic Committees, seeking to have sexual identity specifically included in, and protected by, the Olympic Charter.
Mr. Stevenson will also ask the IOC to make the provision of Pride Houses mandatory for host nations.
