It's taken a long, long time and will take a lot longer, but I would like to think we are getting there.
One of the times I can genunely say I'm proud to be British.
We've come a long way in a relatively short time, especially compared to other countries.
I have an elderly gay relative - met her partner in her teens, lived with her for over 60 years. They were never able to be acknowledged as a couple, even though that is exactly what they were.
Both devout Catholics, funnily enough.
Lived together as 'friends' until Helen's death a few years ago.
I like to think my Aunt is secretly pleased at the changes that have come about recently, but I feel it would be disrespectful to ask her.
I'm not convinced. girls aregreat snoggers, but boys might be too.
SDorry, drunk.
I'll wait up. Pictures would help.
right, I've got to go, but IME (ok not many, one bloke and a mate not a huge number) but girls win every time...Obviously.
any sort of step towards furthering equality must be a good thing no? we're all the same people trying to make our way in the world together right?
those of us who are of the 'older' demographic, can definitely see progress on many fronts,homophobia,sexism, racism, whilst not eliminated, have shifted to become 'wrong' -- ignorance is no longer an excuse.
It is better now for many people, still a long way to go, and must be wary of regression in subtle forms-- particularly in sexism.
Live and let live !
