Update on 13 year old dad I had posted a while... →
didn’t realize it at the time, but apparently the father is actually a 14 year old.
Apparently, the 13 year old assumed he was the dad, because he was the ‘only’ boy the girl had dated and they had been dating for two years. All the while the girl had slept with at least six other boys?
This whole story disturbs me on so many levels.

I want to read this study. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a representative sample that totaled 34,000. Typically studies cover 800-1,500 people. Anything more than that is supposed to be just asinine. But 34,000? Fair to say, that they got pretty good results if its truly representative.

Edit: Well now I’m not so excited. I bothered to read the memo, and well it pretty much sucks.

Its not that the memo is bad, its just that it doesn’t do much. All it says is that a hospital can’t discriminate based upon sexual orientation and that same sex partners that have legal documents giving them...

I feel kind of bad Ellen Barry, to have to write an article over this topic. Nothing against the fine citizans of Nauru(well I’m sure all 11,000 of them are upstanding people) but, the inner political geek in me found this hard to not to find funny…(my favorite parts below)

Obama and Civil Liberties...
Obama recently gave a speech that described the future for terrorists supsects. What worries me is his fifth category. As I understand, his intention is to create a seperate legal system(perhaps similar to FIFA courts) outside of military tribunals and our current court system for detainess they are convinced are seriously dangerous but are unable to prosecute.

Gay man denied assylum because the government does...
OSTON (AP) — Sen. John Kerry has asked the Obama administration to grant asylum to a gay man who was forced to return to Brazil after he was married to a U.S. citizen in Massachusetts.
Genesio “Junior” Oliveira has been separated from his husband, Tim Coco, since August 2007, when he left the country after his request for asylum and an appeal were denied.

Asexuality
I guess you can call this my weekly(bi-weekly or whenever I get to it) minority blog. But, in general people dont’ know a lot about minority groups. So even though this blog won’t really reach anyone -at the very least I can use it to educate myself and maybe go from there. http://www.asexuality.org/home/node/35

A sleight at humanity and just general stupidity →
China has officially decided to cancel one of the most revered Tibetan holidays and instead is “mandating” the celebration of New Years. I’m not sure what’s funnier - the concept of mandating a celebration or just the general stupidity of the policy. I mean maybe China wants more rioting cuz I’m not sure there is a beter way to insult Tibetans than tell them not only...
