Prejudice? You bet! As liberal as our society may be, people are always afraid of what they do not know and they are terrorized by the idea of being different.
I know that if my bdsm activities were ever known ouside of my home I would be a victim of prejudice and discrimmination. You see, I am a teacher, I love working with kids and you would be hard pressed to find anyone more protective of young people than myself. Yet every parent in my school would come unglued if they knew what I do in my private time. I would probably lose my job and tha chance of ever working with kids ever again.
This in a country where a former Prime Minister said that "The state has no businness in the bedrooms of the nation"
