Harvey Fierstein: Speak out against Putin's "war on human rights"

Harvey Fierstein urges American and world leaders to speak out against anti-LGBT laws and policies enacted recently in Russia, where the 2014 Winter Olympics will be held in February.

President Vladimir Putin's "campaign against lesbian, gay and bisexual people is one of distraction, a strategy of demonizing a minority for political gain taken straight from the Nazi playbook," he writes.
