Lisa Schiffren at National Review:
The famously tolerant Dutch, whose nation has the highest emigration of any European country as the native born flee the effects of multi-culturalism, Islamisation, and the after effects of legalizing everything, have come up with a new line to cross. Public sex in Amsterdam’s city parks will now be legal. But only for gays.
So, assuming Ms Schiffren’s analysis of Dutch emigration is correct* (an unlikely proposition to be sure, but…) Holland is waving goodbye to racists and scolds. Would that we could all be so fortunate.
Read the Telegraph story however, and this seems like a perfectly sensible move, designed to put limits on existing behaviour rather than grant license to public orgies:
“Why should we try to impose something that is actually impossible to impose, which also causes little bother for others and for a certain group actually means much pleasure?”, he said.
