"I have no intention of hiding who I am because I know I have done nothing wrong." - Edward Snowden said from his hotel room in Hong Kong.
If you are going to break the law to push a social objective, regardless of how right or wrong that objective is, then you stand by it. You tell the world that this is wrong, and I am going to sit in a cell to show the world how wrong it is. You don't run off to Moscow and live in the airport like a rat.
You really can't handle any opinion other than your own, can you? It must be hard.
