yes I do heng, officially sanctioned discrimination still exist
in other countries too ... for example, male homosexuals are not
allowed to serve in the armed services of many countries, such as
the US, eh ...
oh well ... we're nit-picking here ... but personally though, I
find societal and individual discrimination to be more insidious,
for these are "stealth" eh ? ... perhaps it may not be what you'd
like to hear, but often, "official discrimination " are but a
reflection of the wider society, no ? ... (that was a non-normative
statement btw ), the tougher fight is not to change official
policy, but to change a society's mindset, eh ? ... take heart and
be strong, for a society's attitudes do not change overnight, but
it may just happen yet, eh ? ... a century ago, the UK was caught
up in a paroxsym of victorian conservatism too, wasn't it ? ...
