Thomas Roberts, who was a co-host to the 2013 Miss Universe grand finale in Moscow, has shared his insights against Russia's harsh anti-LGBT laws. He noted he hasn't witnessed any anti-LGBT discrimination on a personal level.

"I haven't run into any discrimination in the time that I've been here, but I have been reporting on MSNBC for that. But I think visibility is really important. And I think me, I'm openly gay - I think it's an interesting fact - but I'm certainly not embarrassed about it, and I'm proud of my marriage, I'm proud of who I am, so I stand tomorrow night in tuxedo shoes very proud to be coming to you from Moscow for Miss Universe." Roberts said in an interview with "Today's" Savannah Guthrie.

Roberts plans to use his network's platform to spread awareness on the sadistic oppression of LGBT Russians under Pres. Vladimir Putin's countrywide prohibition on "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships" visible to minors. Roberts told The Advocate on Oct. 23.

In another interview with MSNBC, Roberts talked about the controversy swirling around the 2014 Winter Olympics to take place in Sochi, Russia, in February 2014.

"I think it would be nice to think that for any international athlete or any international fan or any Russian, for that matter, that's going to be celebrating for the Olympics wouldn't be targeted for any type of discrimination," Roberts said.

"While the world celebrates the Olympics and does so on Russian soil, there might be a blind eye turned to the LGBT population from Russia or from anywhere, for that matter - it doesn't take away or negate the fact that this propaganda law is seeking a solution to a problem that doesn't exist," he added.

Roberts also gave an interview to Agence France Presse (AFP) and the subject of interview was Russia's anti-gay laws.

"The Russian laws obviously are a dark time and a dark chapter in LGBT history here. They're seeking a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and meanwhile it causes new problems because it allows people to abuse and hurt and vilify the LGBT community under the guise of some propaganda law that's just ridiculous....These laws represent the fact that the government is seeking a solution for a problem that doesn't really exist. There really is no reason to demonise the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) population. In this atmosphere here we're seeing the problem with homophobia being condoned and these laws actually allowing people to be victimized," he said.

"If it does (come up) -- great. If people and the viewers at home that are watching learn more about me and know that I'm married and my husband is here, I think that's fantastic. I don't know if I'm here to promote gay rights, I think I'm here to promote that people like me deserve equal rights, because we are no different than anyone else," he added further pointing towards his sexual orientation.

Recently Roberts filed his first report from Moscow, interviewing a former TV journalist who was immediately fired from the Kremlin-backed network (where he was employed ) after he came out as gay on the air.
