As Gay as Gay Can be

In what has been hailed a historic event, New York lawmakers passed a Bill in the Senate to allow same sex marriage.  New York is the sixth State to recognize same sex marriage.  Governor Andrew Cuomo has been credited for this historical move.  Gays and lesbians celebrated the event with cheers and tears throughout the country. 

Homosexuality, which is seen as an abomination in most societies, is accepted in Western democracies, though the French has banned the uses of the headscarf in public schools and the Dutch, the Italians, the Spaniards, and the Australians have shown increasing discrimination against Islam, further confirming the inability of Western democracies to accept benign Islamic concepts.  

This stance has spread to the sports arena with FIFA entering the political fray by banning the Iranian girls soccer team from playing for wearing headscarves.  Western intolerance to Islamic ideas and ways foreign to theirs has caused confusion to those in the Islamic world as to what Western democracy actually stands for.
