US Olympian slams ‘ridiculous’ gay luge ad

A member of the American luge team in Sochi is furious over an ad produced by a Canadian homosexual advocacy group, saying the attempt to portray doubles luging as sexually suggestive in order to promote “gay rights” is “ridiculous” and “sad.”

The 33-second video, produced by the Canadian Institute of Diversity and Inclusion (CIDI), features two figures sitting on a luge sled and swaying back and forth suggestively to music with the lyrics “Don’t you want me baby.”

The ad ends with the tagline: “The Games have always been a little gay. Let’s fight to keep them that way.”
