Sorry, Johnny!!! Luv, Canada :(

I was filled with righteous indignation when I saw this on CTV tonight. Apparently a Quebec-based sports channel, RDS, made a number of blatantly homophobic and hateful remarks attacking Johnny Weir. There are complaints apparently being filed against them but still, it's disgusting, disgraceful and I'm so ashamed that this could happen, especially while we're hosting the Olympics. :(((( Johnny made a very mature and classy response to the situation during his press conference and though I watched it on CTV, I couldn't find a link to the clip. Hopefully that will be available later.

On a happier note, I also saw this! :)

Dear lovely mod, this is my first posting, I read the rules and hope all of this is ok! *xfingers*

EDIT: In case anyone missed it, here's the link to a blog that includes a video of his press conference. This link gets a Shiny Gold Medal for also including a tweet response from Johnny himself! So much love for this man, like seriously.  <3!
