ARUBA. Vote on civil partnerships coming? “Tomorrow, the Aruban parliament is expected to vote on a civil law amendment granting civil partnerships to same-sex couples. It was proposed by Desiree Sousa Croes, an openly-gay parliamentarian. Legalizing civil partnerships will grant registered same-sex couples equal rights as married couples. Although the Netherlands led the way in legalizing same-sex marriage in 2001, LGBT citizens living in its autonomous territories are still unable to marry. The Dutch Kingdom consists of the Netherlands proper and the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, as well as Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, known as the BES islands.”
SPACE. Scientists leave Mars isolation dome on Mauna Kea after year in isolation. “For the past year, six scientists have in lived in near-isolation inside a dome on Mauna Loa.

On Sunday, the scientists finally walked out of the dome to shouts of “welcome back to Earth”. The crew members were greeted by their families and colleagues, who came bearing fresh pizza.”
CHURCH OF ENGLAND. Split possible unless church gets hard on homosexuality, vicar warns: “Representatives of almost a dozen congregations are due to gather in Tunbridge Wells this week to discuss how they will uphold traditional teaching. They have no immediate plan to break away from the church but are forming “embryonic” structures in case the church continues to move in what they consider to be a liberal direction. Sanlon told the Telegraph: ‘If senior leaders of the Church of England water down the teaching of the Church of England on key issues like homosexuality, then this synod could easily evolve in to a new Anglican jurisdiction in England.'”
