Wow I've never been to Vietnam... I've never really wanted to go either. What is your motivation for going there?

Marc is right about us having it good in the Western world.

Here in Australia the old stereotypes are followed regarding homosexuals.. drag queens, hair dresser, etc. We are second class citizens here. Cannot adopt, never think of getting married, etc. etc. I think it comes from the old outback mentality.. I dunno maybe an Ozzie can speak on this. I do think it's so ironic that durring Gay pride here EVERYONE wants to goto the parades... but treat homosexuals like shit the rest of the year.. it's odd. Every society has its contradictions. Nobody is exempt.
