Err, couple of corrections. On a geographical front - the US is a different country to Uganda/Russia/India. I was speaking on the topic at hand - which is about Brandon Eichs, a US citizen, supporting a US piece of legislation, and about Mozilla, a US organisation who he works for. Perhaps it's slightly US-centric - but then this is a US-based site. If you want articles about other countries, you're free to submit them. And secondly, on the religious front - Africa as a whole is not particularly homosexual friendly. I suspect part of this is cultural - they're just very conservative in how they view relationships/marriage. This isn't about religion, but simply about their society as a whole. For example, arranged marriages are still common, and they frown very strongly on things like adultery. So to somehow try to link it to a Californian legislation about legalistic definitions of marriages versus civil unions is a big disingenuous. Russia and India likewise are two countries that are quite conservative in their values. It's the same in China -they're most definitely not a Christian society by any stretch (Christianity is basically a punishable offence), but they also don't like LBGT relationships. The funny thing is - you don't see the same level of noise about this issue in Muslim countries. I've always wondered why that is.
