Speed skater Blake Skjellerup aims to be the first out gay male to ever compete in the Winter Olympics, and to do it in Russia. Your support can get him there!

Despite Russia’s new anti-gay laws, the calls to move the Winter Olympics from Sochi have fallen on deaf ears. The IOC has said waving of rainbow flags or any pro-LGBT commentary by Olympians could violate its rules. Seemingly every avenue to make a statement of LGBT-rights support at the Olympic Games is being cut off.

But there’s one message they cannot stop: Openly gay speed skater Blake Skjellerup!

So open your wallet and give some or lot of money to support Blake’s dream to compete in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
