Okay, this is getting embarassing. There are many countries I’d like to think shouldn’t be passing us up on the equal rights laws, and I’ve been astonished as they have. I watched as South Africa passed us up – South Africa?
Well, now you can soon add a new one to the list of countries waving their gay flags a bit higher than we are…Australia.
According the 365gay.com, the Same-Sex Entitlements Bill just passed the lower house, and will:
“…remove discrimination against same-sex partners in areas such as immigration, taxation, veterans’pensions and aged care. It also abolishes discrimination against children of same-sex couples by granting equal rights to both parents.”
This is getting old..and just plain sad. On a happier note, I love kangaroos. So while I’m trying not to focus on the fact that my relationship doesn’t count for squat in the country I pay taxes to…I’m going to think of a beautiful Kangaroo hopping across the beach at sunset…wow, it’s like I’m really there…
