    Nice quote at the end:

    Quote:
    “Prejudice is born out of ignorance, ignorance is born out of a lack of exposure.”

    Certainly the trend in the media is that more more of us are deciding that the risks of exposure aren’t as great as we feared and are outweighed by the benefits of increased public awareness.

    Well done Nate!

    At Glebe last Friday I mentioned the Gay Rugby World Cup and how an organiser had mentioned LGBT in an aside in a story on TV that was essentially about tough gay men. I thought it was an example of Adrian’s tipping point thesis (that TG is becoming more “normal” to mainstream Australia). The very next morning I read the article that is at the top of this thread and realised the organiser wasn’t just being casual when he mentioned the T but had one of his players in mind. It’s still a good story though.

    The more good publicity the better I say- even if its for gays as Tg ts etc tend to be lumped in with gay
