Here in Australia we had a great case this year where local officials decided to change the name of Fairy Penguins to Little Penguins. Apparently they were concerned that the gay community was being discriminated against. (I don't know about the States, but FAIRY was a 1950s epithet for gay here - noone uses it anymore).<br /><br />The response of the Gay Community? "We didn't ask them to do it and we liked the old name." So what the hell prompted the name change? Love the political correctness story!
