The urgers of Multiculti Inc promote a society of hermetic communities, each honouring its heritage while declining to share and adopt those of others. They could learn a thing or two from sheep breeders, who grasp that integrating lineages fosters strength and resilience

Only a fool would believe these rubbish tales of gay fear and coast-to-coast homophobia, yet that is what the rainbow urgers insist is endemic.
