Not cool: Copenhagen cemetery designates special space for dead gays
This is lunacy. I'm not sure what point this makes or why any LGBTs would want to be buried in their own separate space. I certainly wouldn't.
Self segregation after death is only a natural reaction...to all the prejudice that came before. It may be a flawed idea...or not. But the important thing is to understand that ideas like the cemetery don't come out of the blue. They come from a shared feeling of oppression. And will persist until that oppression is lifted. Flawed maybe. But NOT lunacy...

Self-segregation after death… seems like a weird concept, doesn’t it?
