"The school formal is meant to be a formal dance between a young man and a young woman, not a young man and a young man,"
"We love all our [gay] students as we do all people in our churches but their lifestyle is not encouraged, particularly if it was a promiscuous lifestyle. We are dealing with young people here.

MPs in exile
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Fri, 25/05/2007 - 2:26pm.
Today I hosted a group of Burmese at Parliament House after a rally held in Hyde Park. I was honoured to meet U Maung Maung Aye who was elected as a Member of Parliament in Burma for the National League for Democracy. - he has never been able to take his place in the parliament.
17 years ago today the last free elections in Burma were held. The people of Burma supported the National League for Democracy who were elected to 80% of the seats. 17 years ago Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should have become the the duly elected Prime Minister of Burma, instead the ruling military regime placed her under house arrest.
