Good News For Gays
Just as we were recovering from the news that gay men and lesbians will be allowed to get "married" under Civil Partnerships from December 5th, more gay friendly news came up yesterday!
The government has agreed to accept Stonewall's amendments to the Equality Bill, which means that sometime next year it will become illegal to discriminate against lesbians and gay men in the provision of goods and services... ie hotels, insurance companies, dentists etc will not be allowed to discriminate against us. About time eh!! More info HERE.
Maybe this means that one day soon, The World In General will realise that us queers are as NORMAL and BORING as everyone else. Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about in the first place...

Oi Jen
We are not normal...I spent my whole life coming to terms with the fact that I'm not normal.
I have fantastic role models [mostly women]who reinforce it's good to be "not normal".....
:-P
Having said that....heck it's lovely being not normal.... but yeh, burn the scum bags if they deny us our rights!
