Hello again Elspeth :-)

I think in many ways we may be luckier in the UK as the law is lots more specific and clearer in many areas to do with all discriminations. Alas, many of our laws are also 'tag ons' whereby an initial law has been passed and then they have added groups into it as laws have changed. They do try though and I think the UK probably is quite good with it all. That said, it does not and will not stop people disagreeing with others having 'equal' rights. I guess it's a human thing? That confusion you mention still abides in abundance but is getting lots better here.

What you say about Christians is quite right too. And other 'people of religion' (other religions). Most just want to practice their faith without being vehement or upsetting anyone else on various topics. Indeed, the vast majority of folks I know who have a faith and religion actually preach a message of love for all, live and let live, judge yea not, etc. This has changed a lot too in my lifetime as people have become more open minded and educated as to other's lives. Fundamentalism, in most things, is often a far cry from that being carried out by the majority of followers.

Fighting for rights and existance is so complicated :-(
