not so much Paris, which I have found to be as bigoted as it is beautiful. In fact just a week ago they had a big demonstration in Paris against gay marriage with a turnout between 200-400K people (depending on the source). So France has a long way to come relative to say, London, NYC, SF, Berlin, Copenhagen, or in fact, my little hamlet on lake shore Zurich. Hugs, Beatrice

Wow. I thought Parisians would be more progressive than that. They are very unfriendly In general I can tell you that.

Actually when they found I was Australian and not English or American, Parisians were really friendly. 

Yesterday was the Pride March in Hobart.  500 attendance and address by a State Gov't Minister as well as good, if brief, coverage on 3 TV News was pretty neat.
