I dont know what can I say about this... However I think that states like Denmark, Sweden or The Netherlands are much better than some far east countries - they will kill you just because you are gay... I dont understand that government, how stupid they can be. However, I think that they should use public cemeteries, because its strange to use gay and public cemeteries... However, if they would like to 'live' in gay cemetery, thats their problem...

I heard about this on a debate show the other day (they were discussing whether it was a good idea and if Sweden would have those for people interested) but I never thought someone had already done it. I thougt they were just discussing it
To be frank... why? Can we have cemeteries for hetrosexuals too? Or for bisexuals? I mean, when you're dead, you're dead. Wanting to be close to family and friends in a town/village of your choice, I can understand, but wanting to be around only those who were of the same sexual orientation... Again, why?

To each his/her own, I guess.

Think of all the space they'll save. They probably stack'em up, one on top of the other..all face down of course.
