Some gays seek renewed focus on civil unions
With 34 states lacking any legal recognition of same-sex relationships, Traiman wonders if all the emphasis on matrimony is misplaced.================================================================
"When I speak to women from Florida or Wisconsin or Minnesota, they are like, 'I don't care what it's called, I just want to be able to visit my wife in the hospital and cover my children with my health insurance,'" said Traiman, who helped pass the nation's first domestic partnership law a quarter-century ago in Berkeley.
CBS Is Criticized for Blurring of Adam Lambert Video
New York Times
A representative for CBS told the entertainment program “Extra” that the image of Madonna kissing Ms. Spears “is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning television.” He added, “The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences.”================================================================
...
In a statement, Jarrett Barrios, the president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said, “I would have hoped CBS would provide the same treatment for images of gay and lesbian people and not create an unfair double standard that treats our community differently.”

Mayor Osby Davis told the New York Times gays are "committing sin and that sin will keep them out of heaven. But you don't hate the person. You hate the sin that they commit."

The network is giving a mixed message -- that it doesn't trust someone who shocked with an unpredictable show and a gay kiss, but then it is happy to go ahead with Chris Brown, who was convicted of felony assault."

Hi Evan,
nice to see you.
I have a mega article about to be published showing how the soul doesn't fit with established knowledge drawing from a few different fields of research and it has diagrams!
;-)
oh yea, thanks for the link I'm checking it out now.
Thanks evan, I can work with this.
It looks like we have god on earth again.
I Thought it was a religious satire site until I cross-checked with wikipedia.
from wikipedia:
""On the 24th November 1926, Sri Aurobindo Ghosh came out of his meditative trance and announced,"[20] "that Krishna ("overmind Godhead"[21]) descended into the physical".[22] "On the day before this announcement, that is, on the 23rd of November, 1926, avatar Sai Baba was born"[23] Many feel "that Sri Aurobindo's announcement heralded the Sathya Sai Avatar".[21][24] Sathya Sai Baba addressed this in a 1999 discourse saying, "On November 24, 1926, Aurobindo broke his prolonged silence only to declare that God had incarnated the previous day. After making this significant statement, he continued with his vow of silence."[25]"
Great to see the work you are doing. I thought you might find some good material there. I think the "criterion of embarrassment" is satisfied since the writer of the resurrection miracle consciously admits the echoes of the Lazarus miracle without worrying that it will diminish the impact of his story.
