Red light, green light, 1-2-WERQ!
Munich has introduced same-sex street lights similar to the ones in Vienna ahead of the German city’s pride festival.
The lights, featuring same-sex couples lovingly holding hands, were approved despite protestations from the Christian Social Union in time for Christopher Street Day — Germany and Switzerland’s annual LGBT pride celebrations.
Christopher Street Day — named after New York’s iconic Christopher Street, site of the Stonewall Inn where the modern gay liberation movement began on June 28, 1969 — takes place through various weekends between June and August, with the largest going down in Berlin.
How about we take this to the next level?

The Viennese streetlights debuted in conjunction with the Eurovision contest this year and proved so popular that authorities decided to keep them around.
“They have acquired cult status,” city councillor Maria Vassilakou told Business Insider. “It’s great for the acceptance of gay couples and of course also for Vienna tourism.”
While I’m interested to see if Munich will follow suit and keep their gay lights, I’m more interested to see if any American cities would give the traffic lights a test drive. Of course, it would only be a matter of time before someone (this lady) started crying about how the lights are making the children gay by forcing them to hold hands or are sending all cars on an eight-lane highway straight to hell.

They have gay lights and we’re STILL fighting for gay rights (especially in some places in the South and Midwest).
Kim Davis, Rowan County, KY clerk, is refusing to allow gay marriage. The faster we get rid of her (and bigots like her), the faster we get to the place where young kids throughout the US can feel good about themselves.
Please support our petitiom to rid KY of evil like her. Our good guys can use these signatures to help them:

Unfortunately for the US, the Europeans are far more liberal and have ditched religion for the most part. I cant wait for the US to have this level of acceptance.

There will always be rapid homophobes no matter what, but the more young people grow up seeing gay life presented as just another aspect of everyday life, the sooner real acceptance will be achieved. Berlin is such a wonderful example of this.
