- the repeal of laws banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools[3]
- The introduction of secular marriage[4]
- the legalisation of same-sex unions[5]
- the adoption of children by homosexuals[6]
- teaching homosexuality in schools[7]
- affirmative action for homosexual soldiers and policemen[8]
- The banning of anti-gay chants at sports events[9].
