I really wish "we were over all that sort of crap", but the reality is that the world is full of people hostile to gays. Doing a search in this forum with the word "gay" I found numerous homophobic remarks from various participants. As for respect, I do not visit other countries to get drunk with cheap beer and other drinks, to buy pirated merchandise, to try to have the chepeast vacation possible or "fighting for the last Rupiah" as the poll in this forum says. Im going to Bali because it is one of the world's most celebrated destinations. Im going for its history and culture, for its landscape, architecture, and to respectfully learn about the island's cultural heritage and traditions. And I want to do all this with my partner of 18 years.
