From Vienna With Love

If you like the gay-themed traffic lights that were recently installed at numerous pedestrian crossings in central Vienna, you can now buy magnets and postcards of the male and female couples and spread some love. I certainly will buy some of these cards!

A Sign of Tolerance

For the start of the Eurovision Song Contest the usual single, gender-neutral figures of the traffic lights at 120 pedestrian crossings in central Vienna have been replaced by male or female gay couples to show the city's open-mindedness.
