Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostBeing gay is ok in those countries, so long as homosexual activity isn't engaged in. Funny how attitudes change.

This is about trannys and gays, not S&M.
I'd've though the International Day Entirely Against Transphobia and Homophobia, iDeath, would be snappier.

It beats me why so many who favour unrestricted immigration call themselves liberals when you look at the conservative attitudes so many bring in with them.

But the picture is not all pink. There are still at least five countries which retain the death penalty for homosexuality, while almost half of Africa's 52 nations impose criminal punishment.

It's International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia
Apparently.
I was made mindful of this this morning whilst queueing for my coffee when the rather camp chap who runs the bar was openly talking about wearing stockings.
Serves my right for eavesdropping other peoples' conversations I suppose for had I had heard the dialogue in its entirety I would have learned that he was discussing preventative methods to avoid a deep vein thrombosis whilst travelling by air!Tags: None
