Is there such thing? If not do you think countries like India, Japan, or Russia would legalise gay marriage!
I would like to see more gay rights in non "white" countries though!

Well, South Africa is a no "white" country and they have better gay rights than England and DEFINITELY better than America.
I live in Japan, and I'm guessing you don't. What you need to be aware of is that different cultures address things in different ways. Homosexuality in Japan isn't seen as a bad thing. It's just hidden. That to a British person might seem bad, until you realise that almost all of your private business is hidden in Japan. Only if you are very good friends with someone would you tell them that you're gay or you're not gay or you like chocolate cake or you go to church on a wednesday at 7pm.... It's just not the same as it is in the West and that's neither good or bad. You wanting to see more gay rights in other coutries is irrelevant, it's got to do with what the people from those countries want not you. I went to the Gay pride in Tokyo and was shocked to find that during the march the organizers were holding up big signs asking for people to NOT take pictures. Seems to negate the whole Gay PRIDE thing, but thats how the Japanese seem to like it.
In the meantime, you leave those countries be and sort your own out, last time I checked we cant get married, just union-ised. Load of crap if you ask me.

I am really bored of gay rights and all the other rights people in affluent industrialised countries think are so important and really don't care. I am concerned about people having the right to have access to clean water, enough food, education etc.
