Yes... Our prime minister won the last election by telling the country that if gay partnerships were given legal recognition then the state would crumble, families would dissolve and the economy would go into free fall. he called a special session of parliament in the summer break to make it illegal forever. and he won the election because of it. he's doing it again. this is the most homophobic country after the usa. and that's why it's odd a site like Gayspeak should surface in the UK where you now have it all. Here where gays are opressed at every turn, there is no forum like this. there's apathy... no one gives a stuff... which is why we are still third class citizens. I wonder if, now you guys have it so good, there will be much to moan about on Gayspeak... no trials to share... I'm jealous, but we won't be returning to Europe because it's too overcrowded and too cold. We might have to get out of our present place though, as the entire south eastern half of Australia has run out of water -- literally! it's very scary.
