I'm uncomfortable with the "making out" in public which is common in LGBTetc parades and festivals...common, relative to a mainstream event of comparable size. We should show a bit more restraint when in public, imho.
That being said, I'm very disturbed by "...a law to punish homophobic crime has been stalled by Catholics..."
->-bleeped-<-?
Oh wait, we have the same nonsense here in the US. Many religious people and their organizations seem to want to protect those who harm others.
