"Television presenter Ali Mau wants homophobic Kiwis to wake up.
Mau is taking part in a Rainbow Youth campaign, launching today, that's aimed at raising awareness of the discrimination faced by young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
"I don't really know where these attitudes come from. It shocks and shames me that they still exist in New Zealand," Mau told the Sunday Star-Times.
"It's time for everybody to wake up, and not just those who hold such ridiculous views...."
NO, In the real world, most of us are live and let live. WE don't care much one way or another.
You do as you like and we generally keep our opinions to ourselves.
Wehn you insist on throwing your choices in our faces, we do tend to throw our opinions right back.
So that live and let live thing appears to go both ways. Except you think it is a one-way street. it isn't.
Nor is it 'Natural'- if it was MOST would be doing it (ain't democracy a bitch when it goes against you)
We would also be extinct.
In summary, carry on as you wish- just don't expect us to love you.

Spot-on. What is it with "celebrities" that makes them think their opinions are worth a pinch of shit?
I'm currently taking flak on a board, for daring to say that while I abhor the idea of homosexuality, what is actually gripping my shit is that these deviants believe that what they do is natural - and trumpet it from the rooftops.
I really dont care what they do in the privacy of their homes, but I do care that they feel bound to tell everyone about it.
Ya got it right in one - as usual.
They can do whatever they want - in private - but when they shove it in my face, I shove back.
When they shove it in my KIDS' faces, I grab my shotgun.
