Dutch city Utretch has installed two sets of traffic lights featuring gay couples, showing two men and two women holding hands.

Concillor Kees Geldofr says, "They show Utretch as a many sided city, and they do give cause for reflection as you are waiting for the lights to change"

A number of cities in Austria also have traffic lights showing gay couples. When they were installed in 2014 some people were unhappy and tried to have the lights changed but the council decided to keep them. 

What do you see in the picture?

What is different about the lights?

Explain the photo

-Why do you think the Council in Utretch has decided to install traffic lights showing gay couples?

-When the lights were installed in Austria, why do you think some people wanted to have them taken down?

- This shows there are still some people who do not agree with No Outsiders. But the council kept the lights in Austria, so what does this tell us? (that more people supported the lights, more people do agree with 'no outsiders') 

- What do the traffic lights demonstrate about the council in Utretch?

- How does this relate to what we say about No Outsiders?
