When I was cleaning the other day I had MTV on. Background blah. I sat down for a breather and there was an American girl on it (some kind of reality show?) in Sydney. She was crying because she had almost gone to Sydney's - famous - Mardi Gras. Then she heard some Christian buskers and was disgusted in herself. She nearly went to a party thrown by gays. She nearly supported a gay evening. She knew that if you supported these people it just encouraged them. She couldn't believe she had behaved like that - it wasn't her, it wasn't how she saw herself.

I watched a bit because I was puzzled - she talking about promoting being gay and I thought perhaps she was part of an advertising firm at first.

It shows if you teach your children that people outside your mindset are just wrong, they can make fools of themselves on television years later and halfway around the world.

Oddly, my nephew is a West Ham fan like all the men in our family. My niece is a Chelsea fan. Lord help us when she really starts acting out!
