Gay rights activists have asked the International Olympic Committee to launch an independent investigation into the implications of Russian law during next year's Sochi Winter Games.
The IOC president Thomas Bach met Russian activists during a two-day visit to Paris.
The activists, who had flown from Moscow after others failed to meet Bach in Sochi earlier this month, raised their concerns over the law passed in June that bans gay propaganda among minors.
The law has been denounced by critics and in the West as discriminatory and aimed at stifling dissent, prompting some calls for a boycott of the Games.
President Vladimir Putin, who has hoped to make the Games a showcase of modern Russia, last month said all people would be welcome in Sochi.
However, gay rights activists have reported a rise of violence toward their community and stressed the law was not compliant with the Olympic charter.
Though they did not receive any assurance of an investigation, the activists praised Bach's willingness to listen to their point and urged him to take a stronger stance.
