Salvos sorry for ‘execute gays’ comment
救世军针对其【处死同志】的言论进行道歉



Posted on 25 June 2012

Controversy continues to dog the Salvation Army in Australia after a disturbing radio interview with one of its senior officials made international headlines at the weekend.
澳洲救世军的一位高级官员在上周末的一次电台访问中的发言把救世军推上了全国舆论的浪尖。

Major Andrew Craibe, a Salvation Army media relations director in Victoria, left JOY 94.9 radio hosts Serena Ryan and Pete Dillon almost speechless last week after he defended the organisation’s handbook of doctrine which said gay people should be put to death.
上将Andrew Craibe，救世军公共关系主管在墨尔本同志电台JOY 94.9接受采访，他为救世军教义的关于【同性恋需要被处死】的辩护，几乎让节目主持人Serena Ryan 和 Pete Dillon 哑口无言。

The pair interviewed Craibe following calls from pop star Darren Hayes to consider a boycott of the Salvation Army because of their anti-gay beliefs.
这次采访是由于最近澳洲注明歌星【野人花园】前主唱 Darren Hayes 好找公众抵制救世军的【反同信仰】而引起的。

They were discussing the Salvation Army’s official position on homosexuality when Ryan mentioned the Salvationist Handbook of Doctrine, a manual published to coach Salvation Army soldiers and people preparing to enter church membership.
主持人Ryan提及救世军手册（一本用于教导教徒言行的手册）中包含【处死同性恋】的内容，因此要这个长官阐明救世军针对同性恋这个问题的立场。

The handbook includes a section called The Problem of Evil (page 28) which cites Romans 1:18-32, the section of the Bible containing a violent condemnation of homosexuality that includes a verse that says “those who practise such things deserve to die”.
手册中有一章关于邪恶问题，第28页，节选自罗马教义，【那些实践这些行为的人（同性恋性行为）应该被处死】

Ryan pressed Craibe on why the organisation’s handbook cites a scriptural passage which calls for the execution of gay people.
Ryan 追问 Craibe 为什么一个组织的手册中要包含这么极端的观点呢？

“Well, that’s a part of our belief system,” Craibe said.
Craibe回答说：这是我们所信仰的一部分。

Ryan then sought to then clarify his position, asking if homosexuals really did deserve to die.
Ryan 紧接着追问，并要求他阐明他的观点：到底同性恋是否真的应该被处死。

“You know, we have an alignment to the scriptures, but that’s our belief,” he responded.
你得理解，我们必须要依照教义行事，因为那是我们的信仰。

Following widespread outrage at the comments, Salvation Army communications and public relations secretary for the eastern territory, Major Bruce Harmer, issued a statement yesterday acknowledging that Craibe’s comments were a “miscommunication” that resulted in a misrepresentation of the group’s official teaching.
这一解释引起了公愤，救世军另外一位高管，Bruce Harmer上将昨日立即发表了一份声明，把 Craibe 的仇视同志的发言归咎于救世军内部的沟通问题。

“The Salvation Army sincerely apologises to all members of the GLBT community and to all our clients, employees, volunteers and those who are part of our faith communities for the offence caused by this miscommunication,” his statement read.
他说：救世军真诚的对这次误解，对作为我们全体GLBT团体（包括我们的客户，雇员，志愿者）进行道歉。

Harmer further stated that the Salvation Army was committed to building a “more healthy relationship with the GLBT community”.
Harmer还声明，救世军决心要改善救世军和GLBT团体的关系。

既然是同性恋就光明正大地自认同性恋好啦，因为有法律的制约，不赞成的人也只能腹诽而已，谅他不敢公开歧视。但是有这么个问题一直搞不懂，为什么非要占用“同志“这个词汇呢？莫非为了个人自由个人权利还真是要组织起来搞一场革命不成？

人物逝世
　　1952年，艾伦·麦席森·图灵的同性伴侣协同一名同谋一起闯进了艾伦·麦席森·图灵的房子实施盗窃。艾伦·麦席森·图灵为此而报警。但是警方的调查结果使得他被控以“明显的猥亵和性颠倒行为”（因为在当时英国的法律认为同性恋为违法行为）。他没有申辩，并被定罪。在著名的公审后，他被给予了两个选择：坐牢或荷尔蒙疗法。他选择了荷尔蒙注射，并持续了一年。在这段时间里，药物产生了包括乳房不断发育的副作用。1954年，艾伦·麦席森·图灵因食用浸过氰化物溶液的苹果死亡。为了纪念他对计算机科学的巨大贡献，美国计算机协会从60年代起设立一年一度的图灵奖，以表彰在计算机科学中做出突出贡献的人。
政府道歉
　　随着时代的进步，英国的法律不再视同性恋为违法行为并开始允许同性伴侣民事结合。在这一大环境下，2009年9月10日，在三万民众的联名请愿下，英国当时的首相戈登.布朗正式代表英国政府向图灵因为同性恋被定罪并导致其自杀公开道歉。[1]但英国政府在2012年拒绝了为其追赠死后赦免状的请愿。[2]

是啊，据说上帝还教教徒：爱所有人，我记得圣经上的一个经典的故事被基督徒广泛使用：什么城，众人要用石头砸死一个妓女，上帝说如果你们所有人认为自己无罪的话，可以扔石头。

如今的有些基督徒，准备了两把尺子，一把宽松宽容的去要求自己，另外一把狭隘狭窄的去要求别人。上帝看了也会黯然神伤的啊。

An open letter to Queensland Premier Campbell Newman
给Newman的一封公开信

Posted on 22 June 2012

Dear Premier Newman,

Today I am sitting at my computer in shock. I’m shocked to see the news that the recognition of homosexual civil unions has now be relegated to a mere “registration”, akin to registering a dog or a trailer for the car.
今天坐在计算机前的我很震惊，【同性民事结合】被降级成【注册】，听起来更像是注册一只狗，或者申报一辆汽车拖车。

Just under six months ago on the 30th of November, Queensland Parliament took clear affirmative action with the passage of the Civil Partnership Act 2011.
就在6个月以前的2011年11月30日，昆士兰议会通过了民事结合法案。

On its passage, then premier Anna Bligh stated, “This bill is fundamentally about the human rights of Queensland’s citizens, but it is much more than that. It is about the joyful business of love and that is why it has touched the hearts of so many Australians, why so many people believe that Australia should be dealing with this issue”.
前州长说：这个决议事关昆士兰人民的人权，但是更重要的是，这是对爱的关注，也是为什么他感动了很多澳洲人的心。也是为什么这么多澳洲人相信为什么澳洲政府需要关注这件事情（赋予同性伴侣结合的权利）。

All Australians should have the fundamental right to express their love, to express their devotion, and most importantly, to have access to the same rights under the law afforded to heterosexual couples Australia-wide.
所有澳洲人都应该有同样的基本权利去表达他们的爱情，更重要的是要赋予同性伴侣和异性伴侣同样的权利。

The dilution of the Civil Partnership Act from a strong affirmation of equality for homosexuals to a tokenistic concession is saddening. Most distressing to me is the constant press attention highlighting that this action happened reactively to appease Christian lobby groups.
给同性伴侣的结合降级让人很沮丧，更加让人绝望的是之所以这么做的原因竟然是：为了照顾基督教团体的感情。

This sickens me to the core on so many levels, not the least that I am the direct descendant of William Forgan Smith, premier of Queensland from 1932 to 1942, a man noted for his devotion to all citizens of Queensland.
我件事情令我很恶心，我是昆士兰州长Forgan Smith的后代，他曾经为了昆士兰奋斗过。Forgan Smith 一向以团结为主，以昆士兰人民的利益为核心。他从不试图去迎合极端宗教主义，他一直力图让昆士兰有发展。

While history has noted Premier Forgan Smith introduced some controversial legislation, his actions were always from a position of ensuring the best for his constituents and Queensland as a whole. He did not bow to the pressures of fundamentalism; his aim was to make Queensland the leading state of Australia.

After his resignation, he left a strong legacy. The Story Bridge, Somerset Dam and the upgrade of Mackay’s harbour are all examples of the long-lasting impact his premiership had on Queensland.

His involvement in the nurturing of the University of Queensland helped ensure schools of dentistry, veterinary science and medicine placed Queensland as a leader in education. I am proud to say I graduated from this very university.

Indeed I have sat in many lectures in the Forgan Smith building, proud to know that my great-grandfather was the driving force behind the creation of a coordinated Queensland health system.

Premier Newman, what, may I ask, will be your legacy?

Is it your destiny to forge change in your state that will be present for centuries to come? Or will your record include sad examples of discrimination and subjugation of particular members of your state after being lobbied by interest groups better aligned to your next election?

Mr Newman, I am sad to say I will never return to Queensland under your reign. As long as my brothers and sisters are treated no better than a pet or a head of cattle, I can never return to Queensland.

I urge you to take a stand on your own feet. Not a wonky platform hobbled together by factions using you as their spokesperson for homophobic values. The action of the Queensland Government has been a stab in the heart for me and for many of my non-heterosexual peers.

Listen to your heart, listen to your citizens and remember that homosexuals also vote.

谁更有权利谁赢。如今对同志们的歧视少了的原因，不是因为这个世界更加宽容了，而是因为同志们更加强大了。

基督教为什么这么歧视同志，这么反对同性婚姻？其实是基督教的权利心作祟，而实际上基督教正在没落，基督教的没落和消亡是什么都阻止不了的！

同性婚姻无论在中国还是在澳洲都不被法律承认，不过在同性婚姻这一问题上，中国和澳洲的区别还是很大的。

中国目前还没有公开讨论同性婚姻，澳洲已经提交了议案议会已经开始讨论。

中国反对同性恋和同性婚姻的人多数没有宗教信仰，他们对同性恋的歧视来自于自私与无知，而澳洲对同性恋的歧视不像中国人那么明目张胆，澳洲对于同性婚姻的法对这绝大多数都是教徒。

什么时候同性婚姻能够在中国合法化，还是一个未知数，中国的人权一项是一个遮羞布，在中国没有人权。澳洲的同性婚姻合法化在近两年内指日可待。

Why November’s Election is SO ImportantPosted by ron kemp
为什么11月美国大选对同志们至关重要




I’ve been trying to get this thought out, now, for almost a month. One thing after another has gotten in the way of its completion. Yet, I feel it’s vitally important for me to get it out. Then, last Wednesday following the Scott Walker recall election, I was presented with just the catalyst I needed to see it through.

While out playing music, which is what I do, this local homeless Viet Nam vet came up to me and pushed my button! “Well, those stupid fucking Democrats really took it up the ass yesterday!” Now, I’m use to his vitriolic statements. He’s still at war. I get that. I’ve known him for quite some time. And, his conversations are usually right along that same line. And, typically, I just listen to his rhetoric, smile, nod, and go on about my day. It usually works. Not today. Today, he pushed my buttons. He pushed my buttons because he reminded me, up close and person, of exactly why it is of extreme importance for Obama to win in November.

This isn’t about politics, really. This is about loving and caring. This is about tolerance. This is more about right and wrong. And, it’s about survival.
这（个选举）不是关于政治，而是关于爱和关爱，是关于宽容，是关于正义与邪恶，事关生存！


I want to make it perfectly clear that I’m no professional political analyst. Not even close. In fact, the only thing I am, as a professional, is a musician. I’m a single, gay, black male. I’m an older black male who was around, albeit as a young boy, when blacks were fighting for their own right to exist.
我不是一个政治家，我是一个音乐家，单身，同志，黑人。我是一个经历过黑人解放运动的黑人老者。

Our country is entrenched in a cultural war. That should be no secret to anyone with a pulse. We’re seeing a second-coming of the Civil Rights movement of the 60s as the LGBT community fight, essentially for their right to even exist. Just as blacks did in the 50s and 60s. The parallels are undeniable.
我们的国家正在经历一场文化战争，毫无疑问，同性恋人正在经历自60年代第二次民权斗争，事关生存和权利。正如50年代，60年代的黑人解放运动。

Of course, there are many who would vehemently disagree with me. Over and over again, I’ve read this older black leader or another protest the notion that today fight for equal rights by the LGBT community is an extension of the Civil Rights battle of the 60s.
I can state as a black man who lived during those times as a young black boy in the South that it is, indeed, the same fight. In truth, despite their efforts to distance themselves from today’s struggle, it is the same fight being fought against the same establishment. The same hateful, mean-spirited, bigoted people who wanted to keep Blacks “in their place” 50-60 years ago now want to do the same with the LGBT community.
当然，很多人不同意我这么说。我曾经不止一次的听到一名年长的黑人说今天的同性恋人群的斗争是60年代民权斗争的延伸。当时作为一个黑人男孩，我目睹了当时黑人解放运动。尽管反同人士一次又一次的极力声明，他们和60年代歧视黑人的那些人不一样。但是，两者都有着相同的 憎恨，狭隘的观点，无知，他们当时想要把黑人限制在【黑人保留地】。50，60年之后，又是这些人想要对同性恋人群做同样的事情。

Well, of course not the same people. That was a half-century ago. However, it IS, in fact, the same establishment. Now, before I get called out on this for not knowing my history, I’m very well aware that there were Democrats and Republicans, alike, who were fighting against Civil Rights back then, whereas today’s war is being waged solely by the ultra right-wing, Christian fundamentalists. In that day, the political lines were a bit more blurred than they are today. Today, there is an unmistakable gulf of a line drawn between the two parties. And, that division has permeated our entire society. We’re very much a “them and us” culture. And, therein lies the problem.
当然不是同一群人啦，黑人解放运动是半个世纪以前的事情。但是，这些人反对的理由和做法很类似。当时也是共和党和民主党之间的斗争，但是那时候正反两派并非黑白分明，如今正反两派确实观点鲜明的对立。

Listen, I’m a Democrat, myself. However, I can readily acknowledge that there’s a lot that Obama has not done during his current presidency. He’s left a lot to be desired. I get it. At the same time, I was realistic enough from the beginning to know that he WOULDN’T be able to do but so much. Why? There was no way “they” were going to let a smooth-talking black President show but so much accomplishment. The Civil Rights struggle of the 60s may have been won in theory, but in reality there are still struggles on the racial front, as well.
我是民主党，但是我也同意奥巴马目前所做的还远远不够，我很现实的相信，【他们】是不可能让一个讲着流利英语的黑人这么顺利的取得那么多成就的。60年代的黑人解放运动以胜利为告终，但是种族问题如今还是一个现实存在的问题。

Today’s Civil Rights struggle is being fought by the LGBT community, making this the second Civil Rights struggle that I will be directly affected by. As with the Blacks in the 50s and 60s, all we’re seeking is equality. That’s it. Simple equality. We want to be able to marry the person we love. Legally. We want to be protected against discrimination in the workplace and in the housing market. We want the hate crime laws to protect every single America, which include us. We want to see an end to the incessant bullying of our LGBT youth, (sanctioned legally in some states), which is leading far-too-many of them to end their lives. In short, we just want the right to live our lives, as who we are, just as freely as our heterosexual counterparts. That’s really not asking too much, and it certainly isn’t asking for “special rights” as they try to make you believe.


Why IS it so incredibly important that the current President of the United States win the election this year? The answer is quite simple, actually. The short answer is if Obama fails to retain the White House, our culture will be doomed back to the days, and ways, of Ward, June, Wally, and the Beav. It’s that simple. That’s the utopian world they envision. That’s the simple answer. A deeper look reveals a much more disturbing picture. Failure by Obama to win the White House in November will ensure:

1.) Every single hard-fought gain the LGBT community has made will be erased. The few states that do have marriage equality? Gone. Anti-discrimination policies that protects the LGBT community? Forget about it.

2.) The death rate amongst LGBT teens will continue to soar. It’s as simple as that. Look, let’s take off the blinders. The ultra-conservative, far-right wing, Christian faction hates us. Period. Ironic, isn’t it? Christians hating. Yet, we’ve heard preachers tell their congregation that we should die. These are Christians. These are leaders. These people are the driving force behind the Republican Party today.

3.) Today’s Republican Party is being spearheaded by some of the most narrow-minded, evil-spirited “politicians” I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. That there are Republican senators working feverishly to pass legislation that will, in effect, sanction the bullying of LGBT teens should tell you all that you need to know. And, that’s just a small fraction of the threat they pose to the LGBT community.

I’m not naive. I understand that there will always be narrow-minded, bigoted people in the world and in our society. However, at this specific point in time, they’ve risen to positions of power. With that, they’ve seemingly made it their life’s mission to all but do away with anything gay. Indeed, there has been right-wing political and religious leaders calling for the death of LGBT people. They’re flexing their political/religious muscle, spewing extraordinarily hateful and intolerant rhetoric to their followers. In doing so, they are creating a very dangerous environment for members of the LGBT community. To wit:

* Just last week, a landmark gay bar was set ablaze in Chicago.

* The LGBT Headquarters in Washington, DC recently endured a bomb threat.

* Schoolyard bullies are more empowered than ever in their attacks against those they perceive to be LGBT schoolmates, driving many to commit suicide.

* In the news just today, an ultra-conservative mayor in Michigan added fuel to the already-raging firestorm directed towards her by way of a recall vote with yet another ridiculous statement about the LGBT community.

Indeed, Obama losing the election in November would be catastrophic for the LGBT community. Not just because he’s gone public in his support for marriage equality. It would be catastrophic because it would put in power the absolute meanest, most narrow-minded collection of “leaders” I’ve ever witnessed. Giving power to this group of people would take the LGBT community back to pre-Stonewall days. At least! Giving power to them would absolutely assure an escalation in the already-alarming suicide rate amongst LGBT teens. Why? Because they don’t care about you if you’re LGBT. In their eyes, we shouldn’t exist. And, quite frankly, people with this mentality have absolutely no business whatsoever in positions of power.

Honestly, this really isn’t about politics, per se. It’s more about right and wrong. It’s wrong for people to use positions of power to systematically destroy a group of people. To call for the death of a group of people is called genocide. How is that even legal? Maybe within the next four years, they’ll get some people in their party who actually care about ALL people, including people in the LGBT community. Maybe that’s asking too much. Well, at the very least, we can hope for a group of people who aren’t as mean-spirited as this collection is. Until then, I think we need to do everything in our power to make sure they don’t succeed in November.

澳洲参政部长Penny Wong: 没有必要恐惧同性婚姻！
Nothing to fear over gay marriage: Wong

Penny Wong 一家子


FINANCE Minister Penny Wong has told gay rights groups and Labor party members that marriage equality is a "bedrock principle" and its opponents have nothing to fear.
澳洲财政部长Penny Wong 日前告诉同志愿意组织和工党：婚姻平等是根本，反对者无需恐惧。

Senator Wong, who helped drive a hard-fought change to the ALP's platform on gay marriage, likened the campaign for marriage reform to the fight for racial equality.
"Equality is a bedrock principle," she said in her keynote address to the annual Rainbow Labor Network conference on Saturday.
"A principle that we could never today contemplate breaching in respect of race, or age, or class or other attribute - but a principle denied to some in the Australian community solely on the basis of their sexuality."
今天我们可以在种族，年龄，社会阶级，和其他方面实现平等，但是我们却在性取向上歧视一些澳洲人。

Concerns that same-sex marriage would change the nature of heterosexual marriage were groundless, she told the conference.
"I say to those who oppose marriage equality: there is nothing to fear.
说同性婚姻会改变异性恋婚姻的毫无根据的。

"Marriages between men and women are in no way devalued, nor made less secure by this change."
一个男人和一个女人之间的婚姻是不会因为承认同性婚姻而受到贬低或者变得不安全。

Australian Marriage Equality campaigner Alex Greenwich told AAP the address was "inspiring".
"Senator Wong gave a very inspiring speech, and I think if she were to deliver a speech like that to the Senate, that she would win over people on all sides of politics," he said.
The South Australian senator described letters penned by church leaders, to be read out during Sunday services, as a disappointing development.
"We're a democracy and obviously people have a right to advocate their view," she told reporters at the Sydney event.
"Obviously not all Australians of faith share the view that we should continue discrimination when it comes to marriage.
"No one is advocating that religious organisations, churches, should be required to solemnise relationships that don't accord with their teaching."
没有人强迫教会一定要违背他们的信仰去承认同性婚姻。

Senator Wong and her partner Sophie Allouache became parents for the first time in late 2011.
Penny Wong 和她的女朋友 Sophie 于2011年正式同居关系。

She brushed away a suggestion she might get married if same-sex marriage were legalised, calling it "a very personal question".

In an emotional plea to end homophobic bullying, international software company SAP has thrown its support behind the It Gets Better anti-bullying campaign.

During the 11-minute video message, SAP employees share personal messages about coming out.

In the film, parents Steve and Pati Fehr talk about the death of their 18 year-old son Jeff who took his life on January 1 after suffering years of bullying as an openly gay teenager.

“In honour of Jeff, the least we can do is share his story with others in the hope that at least one person does not make the fatal decision Jeff made and another family does not have to endure the pain, agony and loss we are enduring,” Fehr said.

“For Pati and me, that is why the It Gets Better films are so important.

“We need to continue to take steps to raise awareness, educate people on the impact of bullying, and initiate programs in schools to promote tolerance and social and emotional learning.”

In the video, SAP co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe said, as a parent, he wants to see diversity supported.

“Many kids today are under pressure to conform to certain ideas to fit in,” Hagemann Snabe said.

“Being different isn’t always easy, being different can be tough.

“My company SAP has been built on innovation. We welcome different. We value different.”

The video was released in California this month with representatives from the It Gets Better Project, Trevor Project and local high schools.

SAP Australia and New Zealand employs more than 600 people serving more than 2,000 customers in major industries including the public sector, manufacturing, mining and retail.

Israeli army shows gay soldier support
以色列军方支持同性恋士兵服役




Posted on 12 June 2012









The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has posted a photo of two male soldiers holding hands to its official Facebook page to celebrate Pride Month.




日前以色列军方在其Facebook首页上放了一张有两名男性士兵手牵手的图片，来庆祝同性恋自豪月。




“It’s Pride Month. Did you know that the IDF treats all of its soldiers equally?” the image caption reads.




附图说明：同志自豪月，你知道以色列军方不区别对待任何士兵么？




The image shows two soldiers strolling hand in hand through a Tel Aviv street and has nearly 4000 shares and more than 5,500 likes.




这张图片立刻引发了公众的关注，被转发了4000次，获得了5500次LIKE。




Israel was one of the first countries to abolish restrictions on openly-gay soldiers serving in the military and has prohibited gay discrimination in the armed forces since 1993.




以色列自1993年起，军方就命令禁止针对性取向的歧视，完全支持同性恋士兵在军中服役，是实施这类规定最早的国家机构之一。




Despite the military policies, however, a 2011 study showed more than 40 percent of gay and lesbian soldiers in the IDF say they have been harassed because of their sexuality.




尽管以色列军方有着禁止歧视同性恋士兵服役的规定，在2011年的一项调查中，还是有着40%的同性恋士兵声称因为性取向的不同，他们曾经收到过威胁。




Haaretz reported last year that 45 percent of respondents claimed homophobic remarks remained frequent, with soldiers in combat units reporting them more frequently.




以色列军方去年的内部投诉中，有45%的投诉和歧视同性恋有关。
