The New Zealand Film & Literature Board of Review has banned the anti-gay U.S. videos Gay Rights, Special Rights: Inside the Homosexual Agenda and AIDS: What You Haven't Been Told.

The board said the videos contain misinformation that would be injurious to the public good and that depicts gays and lesbians as "inherently inferior."

The films were brought to New Zealand by the Potters' House Christian Fellowship, the Strategic Leadership Network and Challenge Christian Video.


45 PERCENT OF DUTCH GAYS WILL MARRY

A poll of 1,385 Dutch gays and lesbians by the University of Utrecht found that 45 percent want to get married when it becomes legal, probably later this year. Forty-three percent said they would not get married.

Eighty-five percent of those polled believe same-sex marriage should be legal while seven percent do not want it legalized. A quarter of those questioned also said the institution of marriage should be abolished.
