Today is the National Equality March through Washington D.C., in a demonstration of solidarity for equal protections to be established in civil law across all fifty states of America. We in Australia cannot attend this rally, but please give it some thought nonetheless. It's worth paying attention to its outcomes as Australian politics are inevitably influenced by those of our more powerful ally.
So whether you're part of the equality movement or not, spare a thought today for those of us who are yet to have access to equal treatment under the law.
Edit: Another policy from the US to get worked up about is its "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" anachronism. An interesting (if anecdotal) article about it here.

I think that the Americans are too immature, to openly accept homosexuals. Fortunately the younger generation is getting it & it may only be a matter of time (how much...?) before they realise that homosexuality is here to stay. We must also remember that world views, like everything else, are on a huge pendulum, & who knows which way it will swing.
