usually，the Chinese gov cut the whole film/show/drama,pretend there no gay thing in China and to protect people especially the youth from something wrong,LOL

Yeah!! Good News Indeed!

The civil partnership bill that was introduced has solved some of the troubling issues for LGBT couples such as welfare benefits and the handling of inheritances. ......HOWEVER...... It has been reported that a minister from the Thai government was said to be boasting about giving gay couples only "90 percent" of the rights heterosexual couples are enjoying. Among the rights not allowed by LGBT couples is the right to adopt a child. That is why this bill should be considered as not enough and the LGBT community should voice their objection to be limited on their rights for being in a same sex partnership. This inequality in marriage rights is simply saying that LGBT people are not equal to everyone else and should be treated accordingly. And if it is true that a Thai government minister made comments such as this, then it certainly shows how biased some of the people involved in adopting this bill into law are. A real disgrace.

Hold out for equal marriage. They will give it if enough citizens demand it. Once civil partnership is on the books it could be all but impossible to get the powers to be to revisit this issue to change it to equal marriage for all. This is a bandaid fix for a preverbal broken arm; stay the course and demand full equal marriage for all. Why should anyone take crumbs when they are deserving as anyone else in having a whole cookie?

This is all well and good, however, when you have countries that harass or condemn their citizens for being with same sex partners, (examples: Indonesia, Malaysia, China--this is certainly not the complete list!), people are not going to take much less report anything for fear of bad treatment they may receive. So these things may be offered but they won't be used until people can trust they won't be abused by their peers or their government. So good luck making this successful until a strong system can be put in place to protect the privacy rights of same sex partners.

This is great news! We need more positive news stories like this! Congratulations to Mrs Davidson and her partner!

There is something wrong with China, two steps forward and then one step back!

I wholeheartedly agree with you Capitan.

All those oppositions are related to the evil of religion.

Why is it called PINK SEASON but it uses RAINBOW COLOURS? Should it then not be called RAINBOW SEASON rather than PINK SEASON?

Nope! I really don't want to see them doing a half-ass start on this. Do regular marriage with all the same rights and priviliages of herosexual couples. Equality in marriage is the ONLY way to go for EVERYONE.

There seems to be a lack of flexibility in their religion!

That country is not on my visiting list anymore1

As if unlawful imprisonment over there means anything to law enforcement. We need to stop presuming these countries respect life the same as we do.

Did you read the part where it said the husband and mother locked her in the cell? No. You didn't, as it's not there. If Sarni didn't agree to the "treatment" it would be unlawful imprisonment.

Did you read the part where it said she was sent by her husband and mother? Doesn't sound like a choice to me. My guess is after suffering through whatever "healing" is done to these people, they would say anything to be declared "healed".

And I read about it triggering new discussion in Singapore. From the news. Go Fridae!

Something happened in India. You are late.

Sounds like Campbell is a professional gay.

Sounds like it is her choice.
