America after all, is such a beacon of freedom...
Even a "liberal" like Obama is happy to give centre stage to a homophobe...

Seriously, if I were an alien considering visiting Earth, my choices for a civilised nation to land in would be very limited. I'd sooner give Earth a miss and hope in 500 years time things might be better...
There's always Sweden
Refusing to sign it because parts of it are incompatable with sections of state law does not mean siding with Saudi Arabia and Syria.
This is a total non-story. You can tell that it's almost Christmas by the lack of real news at the moment. There's a pastor in America who apparently compared abortion with the Holocaust? Wow, as if such a comparison has never been made before! There's a pastor in America who believes that gay marriage is wrong? Goodness me, this is hold the front page stuff. I'm half-expecting that tomorrow's edition of The Guardian will have "EXCLUSIVE: Bear has shit in woods" across the front page.
Fucking hellski...
Japan? Japan is a very long way behind Europe on women's rights and LGBT stuff... And a UN investigation suggests they've got a serious problem with racism. And they've been pretty dodgy about acknowledging aspects of their past: despite pressure from Amnesty International, the EU and others, Japan still won't take responsibility for the abuses of "comfort women".
Two quick points SG:
1. It's not just the Guardian reporting this: there are in fact more than 2,000 articles on it.
I guess they are all hopelessly out of touch lefty media outlets eh? Or is it different when the Guardian reports it?
2. You appear to see as a bad thing that a newspaper that has given support to somebody dares to disagree with them and make some critical comments. I don't know if you are aware of the core values of journalism and impartiality, but I'd much rather read a newspaper prepared to criticise someone when it doesn't agree with their actions, than a newspaper that is little more than a propaganda pamphlet and which will only speak positively of the people it supports, regardless of what their actions might be. Wouldn't you?
Shame on America though. Makes me feel proud to be British. :thumb:
..and Gordon let it get to his head.
