We have Civil Union's legalised here now and openly gay MPs plus we had an ex-prostitute/sex changed MP who is now Mayor (she even jokes about being Mare) of a small town!! I would say in general we are tolerant of individuals. You should come and visit!!The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-29626072233657992222008-03-13T12:54:00.000+00:002008-03-13T12:54:00.000+00:00Steve - Yes I agree completely.

I think they need to include homosexuality as part of the school curriculum, thus enabling children to understand that it's a norm. The problem is, that would still come into direct conflict with some religions like Islam, which is very anti-gay...<BR/><BR/>Amanda - Yes, Buju was better known over here and I doubt that he has penetrated (so to speak) the NZ consciousness. What a pity! <BR/><BR/>Good for you for raising your girls to have the right attitude though. Excellent. <BR/><BR/>Am I right in saying that NZ is a pretty progressive and forward-thinking place though?Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-70824256968656971822008-03-13T05:44:00.000+00:002008-03-13T05:44:00.000+00:00Never heard of that "singer", with a bit of luck h...Never heard of that "singer", with a bit of luck he won't become popular here. <BR/>Great billboard too. Steve's right, give it a generation or two and these things will cease to be a talking point (I hope). I mean, I know how I'd feel if everything I did was gauged by what I did in the privacy of my own home or who I had lunch with. Our girls are being brought up to know that bigotry and hatred are a waste of energy.The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262218.post-41315790085539525722008-03-11T17:49:00.000+00:002008-03-11T17:49:00.000+00:00Superb poster and expressing just the right attitu...Superb poster and expressing just the right attitude. It's just a shame that some cultures are so closed up with bigotry and hatred that they're practically in the stone age... Buju Banton is an embarrassment to himself and black culture. He needs to get over <I>himself</I>!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
