Default Dutch Forces forced to change name of "Operation Unicorn"

Afghanistan mission renamed over gay connotations

Dutch troops in Afghanistan have renamed their peacekeeping operation, fearing that the original name of Unicorn has homosexual connotations, the Defence Ministry said.

"It would seem that in Anglo-Saxon culture the mythological figure of the unicorn is associated with homosexuality," ministry spokesman Otte Beeksma told AFP.

How many people here associate unicorns with homosexuality? I never heard of that in my life.
