Can anyone tell me a positive outcome of encouraging, or tolerating, discrimination and hatred based on sexual orientation? "let them do as they please" is a perfectly OK response to gay rights, but the criminal underground is something we as tourists are welcome to comment about? I thought we were supposed to let them handle things how THEY best see fit, and keep our noses out of it? Not to point fingers, but its seems a degree of hypocrisy in that regard. Why is it as tourists, or even as long-term visitors or ex-pats, people feel its completely ok to address some shortcomings and dangers on the island, while others are "off-limits" and thats "just how it is" and we're supposed to accept it?
