				| Three cheers to Mexico! 
 Ajarn, Wild, here's a bit of video you might find interesting/funny/idiotic to use in class.  Bit of an anachronistic step back into US attitudes towards homosexuality in the 50's.

				|               Actually, since I still can't listen to the morning news on the radio as our station is still, ummm, off the air, I was watching TV Azteca this morning and they had it on.  Pattaya was the top story when I googled it this morning.

	  | Mexico City passes gay union law 
 Mexico City's assembly has backed a law recognising same-sex civil unions, the first such move in the country's history.
 
 The ruling stops short of enabling gay couples to get married and will only apply to the estimated nine million inhabitants of Mexico City...

 Class discussion for Friday!
