More Gay Rights

Despite the recent homophobic rudeness I’m still going to post about whatever I want to. And I’m glad to say that the proposed civil partnership bill in the UK appears likely to be part of the Queen’s Speech … so we might actually be able to get “married” some day soon 🙂

Also, from the first of December (so next Monday), workers in the UK will be protected by law from sexual orientation based descrimination in the workplace. It’s nice to know that I can’t be fired for being gay from next week … although to be completely fair, in my current company I cannot imagine this ever arising. They have a very progressive policy, which makes me happy to work for them. Suffice it to say, though, that some other places have been less than pioneering in this regard.
