    Berlin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin Coordinates: 52°30′26″N 13°8′45″E Berlin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Berlin (/bɜːrˈlɪn, ˌbɜːr-/, German: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn]) is the capital and the largest city of Germany as well as one of its 16 Berlin constituent states, Berlin-Brandenburg. With a State of Germany population of approximately 3.7 million,[4] Berlin is the most populous city proper in the European Union and the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the centre of the Berlin- Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations[6][7][8][9], making it the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union.[5] Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one- third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes.[10] First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes,[11] Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).[12] Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world.[13] After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall [14] (1961–1989) and East German territory.

The group met in secret, and the members knew each other by pseudonyms or first names only. An unidentified lawyer was consulted by the members to provide legal advice on creating such a publication. By January 1953, they created ONE Magazine with the tagline “a homosexual viewpoint.” It was the first national LGBTQ magazine to openly discuss sexual and gender diversity, and it was a flashpoint for all those LGBTQ individuals who didn’t have a community to call their own. ONE has survived a number of major changes in the 60 years since those first meetings. It was a publisher, a social service organization, and a research and educational institute; it was the target of major thefts, FBI investigations, and U.S. Postal Service confiscations; it was on the losing side of a real estate battle and on the winning side of a Supreme Court case; and on a number of occasions, it was on the verge of shuttering… only to begin anew.

  • Utah Pride Festival's Prohibition on Firearms
    EDWIN P. RUTAN, II RALPH BECKER CITY ATTORNEY MAYOR May 18, 2009 David Nelson Jeffrey L. Johnson Re: Utah Pride Festival’s Prohibition on Firearms Gentlemen: Your various e-mail messages to the Mayor and City Council have been referred to me for legal analysis. I respect your belief in the importance of your rights to carry your firearms as you understand those rights. However, I believe that your understanding of your rights under the law is incorrect in this specific instance. Based on Mr. Nelson’s April 14, 2009 e-mail, I understand your concern to be that the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Utah doing business as Utah Pride Center has stated on the website for its Utah Pride Festival (the “Festival”) under “Festival Guidelines/Prohibited Items” that “No firearms … are permitted.” The “Festival Guidelines” also state that “The Utah Pride Festival is a private event. Please be advised that the event organizer, the Utah Pride Center reserves the right to decline admittance to anyone who violates the reasonable polices established by the Utah Pride Center.” You both note that the Utah Pride Center will be entering into a lease with Salt Lake City for portions of Washington Square and Library Square. You both assert that Salt Lake City is violating UCA Sections 53-5a-102 and 76-10-500 because it has not required the Utah Pride Center as lessee of property owned by the City to allow firearms to be carried at the Festival. I think that you are incorrectly interpreting both statutes. Section 53-5a-102(5) provides that: Unless specifically authorized by the Legislature by statute, a local authority or state entity may not enact, establish or enforce any ordinance, regulation, rule, or policy pertaining to firearms that in any way inhibits or restricts the possession or use of firearms on either public or private property.” (emphasis added) 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 505, P.O.
