Sexual mores in Georgia and Denmark
Damian McGuinness delves into what sparked an anti-gay fracas in Tbilisi; Emma Jane Kirby explores the male gaze (on naked women) on Danish TV
Pascale Harter presents personal insights, wit and analysis from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ correspondents around the world. In this edition, two tales exploring sexual norms and freedoms. In Georgia, activists gathered to mark the International Day Against Homophobia recently - but Damian McGuinness watched the event turn into a huge anti-gay fracas. Why this resurgence of prejudice - and does the increasing clout of the Georgian Orthodox Church have anything to do with it? Denmark is usually considered a bastion of gender equality and frankness about sex ... but some men argue they've been emasculated and silenced by feminism. Yet Danish TV has recently given airtime to a chat show consisting of two (clothed) men talking about naked women. Emma Jane Kirby meets the programme's host and explores the male gaze - and male desires.
