It is a shame! I thought that homosexuality is an accepted thing in Netherlands, especially the way it is portrayed to the outside world. But it is amazing how you easily hear people making dirty jokes about gays 100 times more than where i came from where being gay is a taboo. Could this then mean that the society does not accept it and therefore are socializing their children against it creating the worst kind of prejudice? Where did the whole gospel of tolerance in our culture go? Is it really true we are a tolerant nation? Look at the messages we are passing on about muslims and immigrants. Is it yet time to take stock and come to grasps with who we really are rather than who we wish we were as Dutch people? Whether you are for gays or not, prejudice should not be allowed to take root in our society.
