Gay Marriage has $259M impact in NYC
by noreply@blogger.com (Bruce Yelk)

Gay marriage in New York City is proving to be an economic boon - having an economic impact of $259 million on the city.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg released that figure yesterday. The figure comes from a survey of approximately 1,700 gay and straight couples which were selected to complete online surveys about their wedding expenditures.

The surveys were conducted by a research firm hired by New York City and Company, the city's official tourism and marketing arm. Each couple answered questions such as how much they spent, the number of wedding guests they invited and from where those guests hailed.

Their answers were compiled and averaged out to create the following estimates:

— Each couple spent, on average, $9,000 on a wedding.

— Each wedding brought in about $12,000 spent by all wedding guests combined. That amount could include transportation or a hotel stay.

— Each wedding has a multiplier effect of about $10,500 on the city's economy. That includes any trickle-down effect such as the financial boon to restaurateurs who get hired for a wedding, who are then able to pay their rent or employees' wages.

— More than 200,000 guests traveled from outside the city to weddings. More than 235,000 hotel rooms were booked at an average daily rate of $275.

An analysis by the New York state Senate's independent Democratic conference had predicted there would be up to 66,500 same-sex weddings in the first three years and they would generate $311 million in revenue and economic activity.

how ignorant are you? gay men are NOT pedophiles nor do we want to have sex with animals, all that belongs to the straight community. read the papers. we want to fall in love with them man of our dreams, live our lives in peace and tranquility and NOT be tormented, beaten, or put down by the homophobes that think we are attracted to them. trust us...WE'RE NOT.

但是，是不是同性恋，是不是有性行为的男同性恋，如果献血者不说，真的很难从表面来判断，所以，在日常献血工作中，这也是一个难点。

------- 从这一点上讲，这个标准无法实施，没法看出来谁是同性恋。规定了和不规定一样。没有实际意义。

------- 但是，就因为有这个规定，在情感上伤害了同志们，在道德上，诋毁了同志们。

------- 我是同志，我坚决不献血！我是同志，抵制红十字会！

Mr Turnbull offered a swingeing demolition of the case against gay marriage - and also pointedly said that previously Liberals had been given a conscience vote on marriage issues.


''I am utterly unpersuaded by the proposition that my marriage to Lucy, or indeed any marriage, is undermined by two gay men or two lesbians setting up house down the road - whether it is called a marriage or not,'' he said.

我很怀疑两个同性恋男人或者两个同性恋女人在我家附近建立一个新家，这会危及我和我妻子所建立的家庭，或者任何异性恋家庭。


''Do the bishops seriously imagine that legalising gay marriage will result in thousands of parties to heterosexual marriages suddenly deciding to get divorced so they can marry a person of the same sex?'' he said.

大主教真的相信，让同性恋婚姻合法化，会导致很多异性恋家庭的破裂，异性恋纷纷离婚去找同性恋么？

''Are not the gays who seek the right to marry, to formalise their commitment to each other, holding up a mirror to heterosexuals who are marrying less frequently and divorcing more often?''

同性恋争取结婚的权利就是要加固他们之间的爱情，和异性恋追求幸福的生活一样，而目前异性恋婚姻却是离婚率很高，而且很多异性恋部结婚。

欧洲科学家发现“上帝粒子”！[/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1]2012-07-04 17:22:40 13995 人阅读 作者：萧萧 编辑：萧萧 [复制链接] [我要爆料][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1]欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）今天下午在发布会上宣布，他们发现了一种新的亚原子粒子，这个粒子是希格斯玻色子（即“上帝粒子”）的可能性高达99.99994%。
CERN发言人表示，当他们将实验结果综进行合并分析后，得到的关于希格斯粒子的置信度达到5个Σ，即可信度高达99.99994%。在粒子物理学中，5个Σ被视作一项新发现的门槛。
ATLAS(超导环场探测器)小组也宣布了同样的结果，他们在126 Gev能级附近探测到希格斯粒子，置信区间5个Σ！
尽管CERN将此次发现描述为“发现了一种和希格斯粒子的性质非常相符合的粒子”，但是“从一个外行人的角度来说，我们已经发现希格斯玻色子了”，“从一个内行的角度来说，我们还需要更多的数据。对于普通大众来说，CERN和ATLAS的实验结果已经证实了希格斯粒子的存在。
希格斯教授最早在1964年预言了希格斯粒子的存在，今年他已经83岁了。在刚刚的发布会上，他激动地掉下泪水，“对我来说，这真是难以置信。这一切竟然会在我的有生之年发生。”他在现场向所有参与这项工作的研究人员表示衷心的祝贺，称他们的工作是“一项伟大的成就”。
“上帝粒子”即希格斯玻色子，是一种亚原子粒子。理论上认为它应当是构成宇宙的最基本组成部件之一，其作用是解释为何其它粒子会拥有质量。上帝粒子的存在，将有助解释物质为何有质量。

伦理新争论：全球首批“转基因婴儿”诞生[/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1]2012-07-04 15:55:21 8632 人阅读 编辑：小呆 [复制链接] [我要爆料][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1][/td][/tr][tr][td=2,1]据国外媒体报道，在进行了一系列的实验后，美国培育出世界上首批30名转基因婴儿，并已顺利出生。科学家近日宣布了这个消息。到目前为止已经对其中两名婴儿进行测试，他们的基因来自3个“父母”。然而这也引发了关于伦理的另一轮激烈的争论。
不孕母亲借助他人基因诞下孩子
这些婴儿由无法受孕的母亲所生，额外的基因来自于另一名女性捐赠者，将她的基因注入受孕母亲的卵子使其受精。对两名婴儿的基因指纹测试证明他们遗传了3名成年人的DNA——两个女人和一个男人。婴儿继承了额外的基因意味着未来他们也能将这些遗传基因传递给自己的后代。
“转基因婴儿”获遗传生育先驱称赞
遗传生育先驱雅克·科恩教授说道：“这是人类转基因培育出的第一批正常健康的婴儿。”
雅克·科恩被认为是杰出却备受争议的科学家，他不断地突破辅助生殖技术的界限。他曾研发一种技术，在实验室里通过将精子DNA注入卵子，使得不孕的男人能有自己的孩子。科恩教授还称，利用他的专长技能，他能克隆孩子。“我的学生一个下午就能做好这个克隆实验。”他说道，曾经有“至少3名”成年人想要科恩教授帮助他们产生克隆孩子，但教授都拒绝了他们的请求。
专家担心这种方法会被用于创造新种族
然而，很多专家却严厉地批评反对了这类实验。控制调节英国“辅助生殖技术”的人类受精和胚胎学管理局(HFEA)的发言人称，这种技术在英国将不合法，因为它涉及改变人类基因。
实际上，这种改变人类自身基因的技术一直被全世界大多数科学家所回避。遗传基因学家担心未来这种方法会被用于创造新的人类种族，获得额外所需的特性，比如强壮，高智商。
为避“人兽怪物”需要遗传实验新规则
在此之前，英国科学家曾报道称，科学家们正在培育“人兽怪物”。美国的研究人员曾研究利用人脑细胞改造老鼠。面对全世界已经展开猖獗的人类遗传实验的可怕现象，许多科学家呼吁应该对这些稀奇古怪的做法制定新规则。
现在，许多专家都公然反对培育转基因婴儿，包括领先的生育专家和主要组织。保护未出生儿童协会主任约翰·史密顿说：“这是人类沿着一条错误道路又向前迈出了非常令人担忧的一步。”（文/深圳特区报）

Gay wedding icons for Facebook
脸书 Facebook 为同性伴侣引入新图标

Posted on 03 July 2012



Facebook has introduced ‘husband & husband’ and ‘wife & wife’ icons for same-sex couples who update their online profiles to ‘Married’.
脸书最近新增加了【丈夫和丈夫】【妻子和妻子】的新图标，新图标用于同性伴侣更新他们的在线婚姻状态。

Previously, a bride and groom icon was used if a same-sex couple changed their status to married on the popular social media platform.
以前，这一图标统一为一个由【新郎和新娘】组成的图标。

The same-sex icons will appear for Australian couples who change their status to “Married” despite Australia’s same-sex marriage ban.
新伴侣图标在澳大利亚版的Facebook也有效。

Facebook has added several significant changes for LGBTI people since 2010, such as creating the anti-LGBTI bullying support network with the US-based Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
Facebook自从2010年起，已经为同性恋人群做出了很多重大的调整，比如和美国同志联盟一起建立了【抵制对同性恋进行欺辱行为】的页面。

Last year it also added relationship options such as “In a Civil Union” and “In a Domestic Partnership” for some countries including Australia.
去年，Facebook的relationship status，还加入了 Civil Union 民事联盟，和 Demestic Partnership，这些适用于目前同性恋伴侣关系的称谓。

Chris Hughes, one of Facebook’s co-founders, was reportedly one of the first couples to use the new icons with his wedding announcement to longtime boyfriend Sean Eldridge on Saturday.
Chris Hughes 作为 Facebook 的创建者之一，据报道是第一个更新他自己脸书页面中他和他男朋友的关系的人之一。

GLAAD spokeswoman Allison Palmer said the new marriage icons were another important way for same-sex couples to be recognised.

“This move is the latest in a series of measures Facebook has taken to support and include the LGBT community, which earned it the distinction of being the first social media company to receive a GLAAD Media Award earlier this year,” she said.
基于脸书对同性恋人的支持，美国同志联盟给予其很高的肯定。

And the LNP in QLD become even more evil!

Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie has revealed that he is unlikely to implement changes to the infamous “gay panic” defence, despite recommendations to do so earlier this year from a special committee set up to investigate its presence in the Criminal Code.

In another blow for gay Queenslanders, it looks like the state's controversial gay panic defence will remain untouched.

=================================================

Gay panic to stay

Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie has revealed that he is unlikely to implement changes to the infamous “gay panic” defence, despite recommendations to do so earlier this year from a special committee set up to investigate its presence in the Criminal Code.
In a further blow to the state’s gay and lesbian community, Blejie told ABC Radio last week that he didn’t think the recommendations were necessary.


“It’s been used twice in relation to same-sex, you know, homosexual [advance], where it’s now got this messaging of homosexual or gay panic defence. It’s not,” he said.
“It’s not a priority to change it.”
The Bligh Government had pledged to tighten the loophole after coming under public pressure earlier in the year to remove doubts about how and when a partial defence involving a non-violent sexual advance can be used.
An expert committee completed its review in January and based on the recommendations of legal expert and retired Court of Appeal judge John Jerrard, former attorney-general Paul Lucas promised to amend the Criminal Code to ensure the intent of the partial defence provisions were clearer.
Bleijie, however, said he was unconvinced of the validity of the recommendations.
“The former government used this as a political football. They set up a committee, it came up with an outcome to amend the Criminal Code,” he said.
“I think we have to get this misconception out of everyone’s mind that this [is a] ‘gay panic’ defence. It’s a Criminal Code defence open to any Queenslander regardless of sex.”
When the committee handed down its recommendations in January, Bleijie – then shadow attorney-general – said he would take the proposed changes to shadow cabinet for consideration, but that he didn’t think entirely removing the defence was possible.
“I support the view that it would be impossible to completely remove the partial defence as it could impact on the ability of female abuse victims in domestic relationships to rely on the defence,” he said at the time.
But Dr Alan Berman, an adjunct research fellow of the Socio-Legal Research Centre at Griffith Law School and a senior law lecturer at Newcastle Law School, said he knew of no circumstances in which partial defence of provocation was used in regards to a non-violent heterosexual advance.
“As far as I’m aware [non-violent heterosexual advance] has never been successfully raised in Australia,” he said.
“It’s just not accurate and it confuses the issue because it’s clear that it’s not being applied equally.”
Berman, who took part in the first White House conference on hate crimes under the Clinton Administration, said it was unfair to claim that scrapping the defence would affect women in domestic violence situations.
“What they do is try and pit one group against each other and say ‘Oh, we don’t want unintended consequences, we don’t know how it will affect battered women,’” he said.
“They’ve already established a separate partial defence for battered persons and that is in no way affected by defence of provocation. It’s a separate defence.
“The last attorney-general [Paul Lucas] used that excuse too and I thought it was really disingenuous.”
The provocation defence has been abolished in Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania, and a New South Wales Upper House Parliamentary Committee is currently conducting an inquiry into the contemporary relevance of the defence in that state.

Possible ‘gay hate’ murder case reopened
Posted on 28 June 2012


An investigation into the death of a gay American mathematician in Sydney in 1988 has been reopened after a coroner recorded an open verdict yesterday.
Deputy State Coroner Carmel Forbes overruled the findings of a 1989 inquest which found the 27-year-old committed suicide after he was discovered dead at the bottom of cliffs near Sydney’s northern beaches.
Scott Johnson’s naked body was found by fishermen at the foot of cliffs at Manly’s North Head – a known gay beat – while the 27-year-old’s belongings were discovered 10 metres back from the cliff edge.
New evidence presented at the Coroner’s Court raised the possibility that Johnson was murdered and that his death may have been linked to a series of gay hate killings in Sydney around the same period.
A 2005 police investigation, Operation Taradale, revealed men had forced to their deaths from cliffs near Bondi in the late ’80s.
Taradale was started to investigate the disappearances or bashing murders of six gay men in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs from 1987 to 1990.
Among them was Wollongong newsreader Ross Warren, whose body was never found.
His car was found in a Tamarama street and a few weeks later his wallet turned up on a rock ledge at the bottom of a cliff.
There were up to 10 more deaths at Sydney beaches involving gay men in the years around Johnson’s death, this week’s inquest heard.
Forbes has ordered cold case detectives to immediately re-examine Johnson’s case.
“The possibilities that Mr Johnson was the victim of a gay hate crime similar to those that occurred in Bondi, or that he fell, are also available explanations,” she said in court.
Detective Senior Constable Timothy Wilson told the inquest he had since ruled out suicide as a cause of Johnson’s death and couldn’t distinguish between misadventure or homicide.
The reexamination of the case has been helped by an investigative journalist employed by Johnson’s wealthy brother, Steve, a Boston-based internet entrepreneur, AAP reports.
Johnson studied at Cambridge University and collaborated with professors at Harvard in the US. He worked at NASA and was in the middle of completing his PhD in mathematics from the Australian National University in Canberra.

New campaign targets cyberbullying

Posted on 28 June 2012

The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) last week launched a national campaign to encourage young people to support their friends targeted by cyberbullying.

Openly gay celebrity DJ Ruby Rose is an ambassador for the campaign and said she was passionate about the cause because of her firsthand experience of bullying.

“I ended up hospitalised and, to be honest, I suffered severe depression,” she said.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that a few pupils actually went to some teachers to alert them to my situation, then I may not be here today.”

Rose and fellow ambassador, Australia’s Got Talent singer Cody Bell, were joined at the June 20 launch by young people who have signed up to the BackMeUp campaign.

AHRC spokeswoman Dr Helen Szoke said the campaign, in which participants are encouraged to post a two-minute video online about how they would back up someone who has been cyberbullied, is about taking action to help bullying victims.

“Bystanders are crucial to dealing with cyberbullying,” Szoke said.

“Taking positive action to support those who are being bullied leads to less social and mental health problems as well as an increased sense of safety at schools.”

The BackMeUp campaign is based on research byexperts on bullying, including Professor Donna Cross and Dr Laura Thomas from Edith Cowan University Child Health Promotion Research Centre.

Ten winners of the online video project will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Sydney to spend a week at NIDA creating a professional short film.
