The Sochi Winter Olympics is over. The closing ceremony was last night, and now attention is turning to Rio and Pyeongchang. The Winter Paralympics, starting on 7th March, are still to come, but sadly they don’t command global media attention on quite the same scale. So this seems like the perfect time to assess whether Sochi was a success from an LGBT rights perspective. Did the world make the right choice by going to Sochi?
