It's easy to go "grahhr America hatin on all the gays grahhhr," but while I was in southeast asia, at least, it was kind of astounding how even the more "modern" parts had stuff like "if you even mention something bad about the king, you can be locked up."



Still, that's almost irrelevant to this. If we're "enlightened" enough to not get upset over showing ankles and faces and free speech and all the rest, it's a pretty short step to going, "Oh, who cares if you're wearing a tie?"
