Earlier this week at a conference room in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Xavier Bettel denounced anti-LGBTQ laws and violence. According to a member of Bettel’s cabinet who was present at the meeting, he “said that he was gay and that the fact that he is married to a man could get him the death penalty in a number of countries represented at the table.” Related: Egypt’s gay community goes deeper underground, fearing crackdown 5 Gaceta Universitaria de Derechos Humanos No. 375 mayo 2019 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila Der Spiegel‘s Stefan Leifert said that Bettel’s speech elicited “icy silence” from some people who were present and “silent joy” from others.

Eisiges Schweigen bei den einen,stille Freude den anderen. 1,703 8:22 AM - Feb 27, 2019 549 people are talking about this The summit was attended by several countries where homosexuality is banned, including Algeria, Morocco, Oman, Tunisia, Syria, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. In three countries that were present – Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Yemen – gay people can be sentenced to death. While Egypt, where the conference was held, does not formally ban homosexuality, LGBTQ people have been arrested under indecency laws. Human Rights Watch has said that Egypt’s president supports “persecution of gays and trans people as a political strategy.” EU leaders said that the summit was a success and the summit’s declaration mentions support for “all aspects of internal human rights law.” The Arab League leaders, though, insisted that a reference to freedom of expression be dropped from the declaration. 7 Gaceta Universitaria de Derechos Humanos No. 375 mayo 2019 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila The declaration does not mention LGBTQ issues at all. Bettel is the first modern world leader married to someone of the same sex and the first gay prime minister in the world to win a second term. He married his husband Gauthier Destenay in 2015, after marriage equality was recognized in Luxembourg. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2019/02/gay-world-leader-called-arab-league-laws-banning- homosexuality/?utm_source=notification&utm_medium=push&utm_campaign=onesignal 8 Gaceta Universitaria de Derechos Humanos No. 375 mayo 2019 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila Legisladores aprueban la prohibición del matrimonio infantil La modificación al Código Civil Federal atiende los señalamientos hechos pos Naciones Unidas y organismos internacionales en contra de esta figura. CORTESÍA Por medio de una reforma que aprobó la Comisión de Justicia de la Cámara de Diputados, se prohíbe el matrimonio infantil y quita los criterios que permiten reducir la edad para tener una unión legal. La modificación aplicable va directamente al Código Civil Federal y el artículo 45 de la Ley General de Derechos de Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes. Esta reforma que se impulsa señala que se deben tener 18 años cumplidos para que dos personas contraigan matrimonio, y esto omite cualquier dispensa para reducir la edad mínima. Esta modificación fue subrayada por parte de la presidenta de la Comisión de Justicia, María del Pilar Ortega Martínez, quien también señaló además de la prohibición del matrimonio infantil, se inhabilita a los padres para dar el consentimiento de estos. "Aunque está previsto que para llevar a cabo estas uniones se requiere la mayoría de edad, sí se establecen dispensas, a partir del otorgamiento del permiso de los padres". 9 Gaceta Universitaria de Derechos Humanos No. 375 mayo 2019 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila Ortega Martínez, explicó que la reforma atiende a la responsabilidad con los derechos humanos y recomendaciones de organizaciones internacionales. "Hoy se atiende una obligación del Estado mexicano que había quedado inconclusa y que no se había podido atender". Esta reforma legislativa obedece a los señalamientos de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) contra estas uniones, mismas que son señaladas como las principales causas de violencia y discriminación institucionalizada a niñas, niños y adolescentes. Para Naciones Unidas, este tipo de uniones civiles entorpecen el desarrollo pleno del individuo en sociedad, al reducir las oportunidades y la vida académica, limitar la interacción con personas de su edad, su salud reproductiva corre riesgo, además de promover la desigualdad y una latente vulnerabilidad económica. https://www.huffingtonpost.com.mx/2019/02/27/legisladores-van-por-la-prohibicion-del-matrimonio- infantil_a_23680063/ 10 Gaceta Universitaria de Derechos Humanos No. 375 mayo 2019 Sistema de Infotecas Centrales Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila ADELANTO DE LAS MALAS, PRIMER LIBRO DE CAMILA SOSA VILLADA, EDITADO POR TUSQUETS LAS MALAS ADELANTO. | La primera novela de Camila Sosa Villada, Las Malas (Ed. Tusquets), comienza así, con este retrato en movimiento, donde un grupo de travestis absolutamente “pro vida” (en el certero sentido de esa construcción vapuleada por el marketing reaccionario) encuentra tirado a un niño recién nacido en el mismo paisaje del basural donde ellas se ganan o se pierden la vida. El relato no para de crecer, deslumbrante y vertiginoso, y deja oír las voces de una familia trava que se mueve, se esconde, se monta, se construye y goza a la luz y a la sombra. Esta novela aporta a la literatura y a la sociedad, parte de la riqueza de las voces que faltan. Imagen: Fabiana Casco Es profunda la noche: hiela sobre el Parque. Árboles muy antiguos, que acaban de perder sus hojas, parecen suplicar al cielo algo indescifrable pero vital para la vegetación. Un grupo de travestis hace su ronda. Van amparadas por la arboleda. Parecen parte de un mismo organismo, células de un mismo animal. Se mueven así, como si fueran manada. Los clientes pasan en sus automóviles, disminuyen la velocidad al ver al grupo y, de entre todas las travestis, eligen a una que llaman con un gesto. La elegida acude al llamado.

  • 87Th LEGISLATIVE SESSION and COVID RESTRICTIONS On
    87th LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND COVID RESTRICTIONS On January 12, 2021, lawmakers from across the state will convene the 87th Texas Legislative Session, meeting for the Regular Session over the following 140 days through May 31. This will be the first time that all 181 legislators will come together since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the virus is top-of-mind for everyone involved. While the Governor recently announced the re-opening of the Capitol building on January 4, we have minimal knowledge of the health and safety protocols the members, staff and Capitol visitors will have to follow when they enter the building next week. It will surely be a much different environment than previous sessions. We know the following requirements will be in place as of today, per a memo released by the State Preservation Board last week: • The Capitol building will only be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; it will be closed Saturday and Sunday for cleaning. • The public may only enter through the North Capitol entrance. • Covid testing will be encouraged and provided on the North Plaza at no expense. • A mask will be required to be worn inside the building at all times. • All deliveries to the Capitol, including food and beverage, must be left at the loading dock; no delivery personnel will be allowed beyond the loading dock or through the public entrance. • No public tours or groups or sponsored event space will be available. • The House and Senate will manage public access to their offices once convened and rules are adopted, and the public will need to check with the offices directly for specific guidelines.

  • 2020 General Election Results – Texas
    TO: Theresa Tran FROM: Imperium Public Affairs DATE: November 4, 2020 SUBJECT: 2020 General Election Results – Texas 2020 General Election The results of the elections are in (mostly), and 2020 continues to be unprecedented in recent memory in terms of redefining what is considered “normal”. Prior to these elections, Republicans held a majority across all levels of state government. But shifting voter demographics, the Covid-19 pandemic, economic uncertainty social upheaval, and a polarizing race for President have all combined to create a dynamic election that has driven more voters than ever to turn out. This increase voter participation did not result in the significant shift in Texas politics that many predicted. More than 9.7 million Texans voted early and another heavy vote count on Election Day obliterated the record for voter turnout in any previous election in the state but did not ultimately change the balance of power in the state. Some votes remain to be counted, and data will still be coming in for the next several days and need to be canvassed and certified by election officials. At the end of the night, Republicans will still control all statewide offices, the Texas House of Representatives and the Texas Senate. Democrats will pick up a seat in the Texas Senate and potentially make progress in the Texas House but the balance of power will stay intact at least for this political cycle. The team at Imperium Public Affairs has compiled this memo to analyze the election results and provide information about how the 2020 elections will impact the political power structure in Texas for the near future.

  • Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker
    Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker Texans for Public Justice Public Citizen’s Texas Office Sierra Club May 2017 Running on Hydrocarbons: Oil and Gas Funding to Every Texas Lawmaker (2013-2016) he Texas Sunset Advisory Commission typically reviews state agencies every 12 years to determine if the agencies are efficient, need reform, or should be abolished. The Texas Railroad Commission T just underwent its third Sunset review since 2010. A hard-hitting 2013 Sunset staff report recommended the agency’s three elected commissioners should only be allowed to raise money during an 18-month period surrounding an election (instead of throughout most of their six-year terms). It also recommended that the agency develop rules to prevent informal, ex parte discussions of contested cases, and to ban commissioners from taking money from parties to contested cases. Our recent Conflicted report found that commissioners continue to take contributions from parties with pending contested cases, despite their claims that they “self-police” such conflicts. The 2016 Sunset staff report slammed the agency’s deceptive name, calling for its rechristening as the “Texas Energy Resources Commission.” It suggested that the agency’s case hearings and gas-utility rate cases could be done more professionally and transparently by the State Office of Administrative Hearings and the Public Utility Commission, respectively. In their report, Sunset staff argued that major agency changes are needed to improve pipeline safety, increase bonding requirements for new oil and gas drilling and to intensify inspection and enforcement efforts. Yet the latest report did not address commissioner fundraising conflicts.

  • Election Day: November 8, 2016 Early Voting: Oct
    Election Day: November 8, 2016 Early Voting: Oct. 24 – Nov. 4, 2016 We surveyed candidates seeking the Democratic and Republican nominations for the Texas House and Senate. These are the candidates who want to represent you at the Capitol in Austin. Answers provided have been unedited. This Voters’ Guide was compiled, published, and funded by members of Texans for Responsible Marijuana Policy, a broad coalition of organizations, activists, and community leaders dedicated to 1) enacting a comprehensive and compassionate medical marijuana law; 2) removing penalties for adults’ possession of marijuana for personal use; and/or 3) replacing the illicit market for cannabis with a safe, legal, and accountable market. Texas NORML originated the guide in 2012, and we'd like to thank them for helping put this year's guide together. Our goal is to help voters make educated decisions when they go to the polls to vote on Election Day. Tuesday, November 8, 2016 Voter Guide Texas is one of the 27 states where voters cannot collect signatures and place a measure on the ballot to change state law. Instead, Texans must rely on our state representatives and state senators to set marijuana policies. With Election Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to take a close look at candidates’ stances.

  • The Shafi Controversy: Context and Preliminary Takeaways
    THE SHAFI CONTROVERSY: CONTEXT AND PRELIMINARY TAKEAWAYS David R. Brockman, Ph.D. Nonresident Scholar, Religion and Public Policy April 2019 © 2019 by Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy This material may be quoted or reproduced without prior permission, provided appropriate credit is given to the author and Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy. Wherever feasible, papers are reviewed by outside experts before they are released. However, the research and views expressed in this paper are those of the individual researcher(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Baker Institute. David R. Brockman, Ph.D. “The Shafi Controversy: Context and Preliminary Takeaways” https://doi.org/10.25613/jryw-jq08 The Shafi Controversy Introduction In late 2018 and early 2019, a faction within the Tarrant County Republican Party (TCGOP) attempted to force the removal of the organization’s newly appointed vice chair, Dr. Shahid Shafi, because he is Muslim. The controversy drew national and international media attention,1 and pitted anti-Muslim activists against party luminaries such as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who voiced support for Shafi. Though anti-Muslim rhetoric has become common in the GOP, party leaders now condemned religious bigotry and discrimination as contrary to Republican principles. While the effort to oust Shafi ultimately failed, the episode offers a case study in the ways religion and politics intersect in a Texas that is steadily growing more ethnically and religiously diverse. Shafi’s appointment to party leadership is itself an indicator of the growth of the Muslim community, both demographically and in political influence, in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area as well as statewide and nationally.

  • In Texas, Top Two Republicans Steer Ship of State Hard to the Right
    July 17, 2021 In Texas, Top Two Republicans Steer Ship of State Hard to the Right Different in style and background, Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick have come together, for different reasons, to push an uncompromising conservative agenda. By: Reid J. Epstein https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/17/us/politics/texas-republicans-agenda.html One is a former State Supreme Court justice who acts with a lawyer’s caution; the other a Trumpist firebrand who began his political career in the world of conservative talk radio. They have sparred at times, most recently this winter over the deadly failure of their state’s electrical grid. But together, Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the two most powerful men in Texas, are the driving force behind one of the hardest right turns in recent state history. The two Republicans stand united at a pivotal moment in Texas politics, opposing Democrats who have left the state for Washington in protest of the G.O.P.- controlled Legislature’s attempt to overhaul the state’s election system — blocking Republicans from advancing any bills to Mr. Abbott’s desk. Any policy differences between the governor and lieutenant governor have melted away in the face of the realities of today’s Republican Party, with a base devoted to former President Donald J. Trump and insistent on an uncompromising conservative agenda. “The lieutenant governor reads off the playbook of the far right, and that’s where we go,” said State Senator Kel Seliger, a moderate Republican from Amarillo. “The governor less so, but not much less so.” Now, if Mr.

    State Senator Beverly Powell District 10. Capitol Office: E1.712. 512-463-0110 (O) PRESS RELEASE | For Immediate Release | February 26, 2019 Contact: Victoria Godinez, 512-463-0110 (O) 817-333-4392 (C) ICYMI: Fort Worth Star-Telegram Feature on Senator Beverly Powell "Why Tarrant County’s newest senator is getting high marks from her colleagues" AUSTIN, TX—On Sunday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram published a feature on Senator Powell's first 37 days in the Texas Legislature. The article highlights Senator Powell's priorities for the 86th Texas Legislative Session. Star-Telegram columnist Dave Montgomery described Sen Powell's priorities such as the need to champion for public schools, expand healthcare access, further economic development in Tarrant County and in Texas, including workforce training, and defending local control. Why Tarrant County’s newest senator is getting high marks from her colleagues by: Dave Montgomery AUSTIN -- It’s Day 37 into her new career as a state senator from Tarrant County and Beverly Powell is midway through a typically packed day. The schedule includes a 65-minute-long session in the Senate chamber and a meeting in Gov. Greg Abbott’s office to discuss his flagship proposal to cap property taxes. There are also meetings with business leaders and a group of ophthalmologists from Tarrant County. On this particular day in mid-February, Powell’s office was still a work in progress. “We’ve gotten stuff sitting around that we haven’t hung on the walls,” she said. “We’ve decided that hanging pictures is not our priority right now.” The Burleson real estate developer and former school board president began outlining just what those priorities are well over a year ago when she entered the District 10 Senate race.

  • Art Criticism in Times of Populism and Nationalism. 52Nd International AICA Congress, Cologne/Berlin 2019
    Nuances of Populism: Political and Cultural Dimensions Panel 1 MODERATION JÖRG HEISER OLIVER MARCHART ANA TEIXEIRA PINTO Perrier, Danièle (ed.), Art Criticism in Times of Populism and Nationalism. Proceedings of the 52nd International AICA Congress, Cologne/Berlin 1–7 October 2019, Heidelberg: arthistoricum.net, 2021. DOI: https://doi.org/10.11588/arthistoricum.891, e-ISBN 978-3-98501-024-0 ABSTRACTS 17 Populism and Anti-Populism in Politics and Art Oliver Marchart In his lecture Populism and Antipopulism Marchart discussed the question whether populism is a part of democracy or its opposite. He provided a brief outline of the structure and history of populism and addressed the question whether, not only populism is problematic but also the common forms of antipopulism. Political antipopu- lism, as it dominates the media public sphere, now corresponds, in the field of art, to a sentiment against any form of all too ›populist‹ or ›popular‹ art.
