Well, I'm a big gay-rights advocate, but since we already have civil unions here in Denmark, I would like to keep it that way. There isn't really a lot to do, though, so I'll just continue to support it, and try to speak up about the rights for gay couples to marry in churches, which still isn't an option. I talk a lot about gay rights with my family and friends and speak up for the rights for gay people to adopt, which is still a bit controvesial for some people. You can adopt, but there is a lot of prejudice against it. I try to confront people if they come with a negative comment about homosexuality, and make it clear that I disagree, while telling them what I believe, and see if they have a prober counter- argument, other than religion and that "It doesn't feel right" (Which often isn't the case). I also speak out about the welfare state and the rights for sick and poor people to recieve free medical care, so I'm a little socialistic like that. I do not, however, support law against prostitution or any other kind of laws that would prohibit free will/speech for people, as long as it doesn't directly harm others, (crime, abuse, violence, bullying). I'm a bit of a hypocrit though, because I do support that people pay taxes, so that the less fortunate can live, which *is* letting the goverment force people to pay for free healthcare. But that's the only place I find my self being a bit of a socialist, I think. I want people to be able to wear what they want (including burkaes) say what they want, and be able to have an impact on the country, which is why I don't consider healthcare as a "communist" thing, because we can vote to change things. People arent' being being opressed, they are taking part in democracy and can have a say and an impact. Luckily not many people want to get rid of the welfare state, though, not even the most libetarian people I have met. The system isn't perfect though, we have a lot of issues to that I would like to help change, so there is no illusion for me there. I'm also a feminist, so I try to speak up against sexism, which sadly still is a norm someplaces in our culture. I try to show that females are able to discuss politics and have serious discussions, without being seen as a 'pretty looking things'. So yeah.
