What was the first country in the world to legalise same sex marriage? Was it America? No, it was the Netherlands, in 2001. The first US state to legalise it was Massachusetts in 2004.

What was the first country in the world to legalise civil partnerships? Was it America? No, it was Denmark, in 1989. The first US state to legalise it was Vermont in 2000.

What was the first country in the world to end their ban on homosexuals and bisexuals serving openly in the military? Was it America? No, it was the Netherlands, again, in 1974. Though some Wikipedia articles claim that Brazil and Italy have lifted their bans in 1969 and 1947, respectively, so maybe Italy was first. And there were many countries that have never even had a ban on homosexuals and bisexuals in their militaries. America did not allow homosexuals or bisexuals in their military under any circumstance until 1993, but even then, homosexual and bisexual personnel had to keep it on the downlow until 2011 or else they could have been thrown out with a dishonourable discharge, soil it wasn’t until 2011 were they allowed to serve openly in the United States military.

What was the first country in the world to decriminalise homosexuality? Was it America? No, it was France, in 1791. Not to mention countries like Taiwan, Vietnam, the Koreas and the Congos, which have never criminalised homosexuality. The first US state to decriminalise it was Illinois in 1962. That was seven years before Stonewall, but I don’t see American centric SJWs worshipping the state of Illinois.

Here in Ireland, we got decriminalisation in 1993, the explicit right to serve openly (though probably never banned) in the military in 1993, civil partnerships in 2011 and same sex marriage in 2015. And it was not because of the Stonewall Riots. It was because gay and bisexual people in Ireland fought and advocated for our rights, and partly because most tv channels broadcast in Ireland are from the UK. The man who fought to have homosexuality decriminalised in my country was a gay man named David Norris.

Hmm, the acronym is all there, except for one letter... i just can’t seem to remember which...
