Why aren't there calls for boycotting? Surely our gay athletes will boycott and not conform, no?

Ironic we boycotted the Russian Olympics in 1980 because they invaded Afghanistan and now 33 years later we're in Afghanistan and ignoring their anti-gay, draconian laws.
We need to say we're not showing unless openly gay folks are treated identical to open hetero folks, in other words fast forward socially a few decades. Surely support of gay Americans rank above that of the Afghanis, no? Rainbow colored nails just doesn't seem to cut it. IMO

no, we shouldn't boycott unless the athletes say 'boycott'. the 1980 boycott certainly wasn't supported by many in this country, and was generally thought to be a bad move.

If say Egypt held the Olympics and they warned of wearing crosses or making the sign of the cross would we boycott or just succumb?
