By Timothy Heritage SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) – Google has placed a rainbow version of its logo on its search page, increasing pressure on President Vladimir Putin over Russia’s “gay propaganda” law at the Sochi Winter Olympics. The page now shows a winter sports competitor above each of the six letters in the U.S. Internet giant’s name, set against backgrounds in the six colors on the gay pride flag – red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The page also includes a quote from the Olympic charter underlining the right to practise sport without discrimination. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play,” it says.
