"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SOCHI, Russia (AP)  Russia's deputy prime minister has confirmed the Kremlin's view on gay rights in Sochi, asking athletes to ''leave the kids alone.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dmitry Kozak told a news conference Thursday that Russian organizers will not discriminate against visitors or athletes because of their sexuality, but he backed the government's support for the so-called gay propaganda law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kozak said athletes are free to express their views and discuss their sexuality. However, he asked them to stay away from children, saying ''leave the kids alone.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Russia introduced a bill last year that outlawed the ''propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.'' Gay groups say the law has contributed to the intolerance of sexual minorities in Russia.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
