In 43 cases, one of the partners was a foreigner, especially from Slovakia, but also Azerbaijan, Taiwan, Israel, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Armenia, the Netherlands, the USA and Canada. Homosexual couples were prosecuted in the former Czechoslovakia until 1961. The law on registered partnership of same sex couples was passed by the Czech Chamber of Deputies in March 2006 when the Chamber overrode President Vaclav Klaus’s veto by a narrow majority.”

The public has shown overwhelming and sustained interest in hearing from Obama directly. This is the third Obama video to shoot into YouTube’s top three in the past 10 days — past clips of naked celebrities and Scientology rants — and the first video that was shot specifically for web viewers, rather than broadcasting documentary footage of a speech.”

road.jpg Transgender student denied dorm room because he has not yet undergone sexual reassignment surgery: “Osborn was denied a male dorm room because, while his driver’s license shows him as male and he is undergoing hormone treatment, he has not had gender reassignment surgery to complete the transition. Osborn and Walton contend that it should not be a requirement to undergo costly medical procedures if one is unable or unwilling to do so in order for the university to recognize Osborn as a “real” transgender person.”

Asteroidroad.jpg Asteroid coasts by Earth, just outside the orbit of the Moon: “Were TU24 to have struck land, it might have caused a magnitude seven earthquake and left a city-sized crater.”

road.jpg Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) in Britain to launch new guidance on homophobic bullying: “The new guidance recommends that if a pupil makes persistent remarks, they should be removed from the classroom and staff should talk in detail about why such language is unacceptable. Similarly, in severe circumstances, schools should consider permanent exclusion for physical bullying. Much more needs to be done to prevent such bullying in the first place. Stonewall and Each advise encouraging positive role models. But Sue Sanders, co-chair of Schools Out, which campaigns against homophobia in education, says a big problem is that teachers find it hard to be out themselves. ‘The government and local authorities need to celebrate the existence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teachers,’ she says. ‘If teachers don’t feel safe to be out, how the hell will our kids?'”
