Kidding Aside (The British Childfree Association) was founded in 2000 and exists in order to campaign for the rights of British childfree people. It is thought to be the first politically active childfree movement in the world and strives to introduce the childfree voice into relevant British political debate. It also works to promote the childfree lifestyle as a legitimate and equal alternative to parenthood, and campaigns for equality of opportunity for childfree people in employment and with regard to UK tax legislation. In addition to the voluntary childfree, the issues Kidding Aside speaks on also affect the lives of those who are involutarily childfree.
Famous quotes containing the word kidding:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
