Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

What's wrong with partner?
So is a monogamous, long term (and possibly now officially recorded) gay relationship qualitatively different to marriage?
I wouldn't say so.
Hence partner.
Also, the phrase moral majority sticks in the throat rather. The whole point of the way our society works is that the *minority* can be protected against the vicissitudes of the *majority* - unless of course you want populist mob rule.
Also, would you please remind me where in school or college we are indoctrinated against marriage?
