In this photo taken Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, Andrei Ozerny smokes a cigarette while sitting in the Mayak cabaret, the most reputable gay club in Sochi, Russia, host to the 2014 Winter Olympics. Most of Mayak’s clients shy away from cameras and plead for anonymity. Not so Ozyorny, a 24-year-old Sochi native. Ozyorny, one of Mayak's regulars, has recently done something that he feels proud of and which makes his partner fear for his business and safety. When Sochi's mayor said in an interview last month that there were no gays in Sochi, Ozyorny wrote a letter to the mayor that was published in prominent Russian media. "Nice to meet you, I'm one of them," Ozyorny wrote. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
