  • Commission Report Final UK
    JOINT COMMISSION ON VEXILLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLES of The Flag Institute and North American Vexillological Association ! ! THE COMMISSION’S REPORT ON THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF FLAG DESIGN 1st October 2014 These principles have been adopted by The Flag Institute and North American Vexillological Association | Association nord-américaine de vexillologie, based on the recommendations of a Joint Commission convened by Charles Ashburner (Chief Executive, The Flag Institute) and Hugh Brady (President, NAVA). The members of the Joint Commission were: Graham M.P. Bartram (Chairman) Edward B. Kaye Jason Saber Charles A. Spain Philip S. Tibbetts Introduction This report attempts to lay out for the public benefit some basic guidelines to help those developing new flags for their communities and organizations, or suggesting refinements to existing ones. Flags perform a very powerful function and this best practice advice is intended to help with optimising the ability of flags to fulfil this function. The principles contained within it are only guidelines, as for each “don’t do this” there is almost certainly a flag which does just that and yet works. An obvious example would be item 3.1 “fewer colours”, yet who would deny that both the flag of South Africa and the Gay Pride Flag work well, despite having six colours each. An important part of a flag is its aesthetic appeal, but as the the 18th century Scottish philosopher, David Hume, wrote, “Beauty in things exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.” Different cultures will prefer different aesthetics, so a general set of principles, such as this report, cannot hope to cover what will and will not work aesthetically.

  • The Role of the United Nations in Combatting Discrimination and Violence Against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex People
    The Role of the United Nations in Combatting Discrimination and Violence against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex People A Programmatic Overview 19 June 2018 This paper provides a snapshot of the work of a number of United Nations entities in combatting discrimination and violence based on sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics and related work in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and intersex communities around the world. It has been prepared by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the basis of inputs provided by relevant UN entities, and is not intended to be either exhaustive or detailed. Given the evolving nature of UN work in this field, it is likely to benefit from regular updating1. The final section, below, includes a Contact List of focal points in each UN entity, as well as links and references to documents, reports and other materials that can be consulted for further information. Click to jump to: Joint UN statement, OHCHR, UNDP, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF, UN Women, ILO, UNESCO, WHO, the World Bank, IOM, UNAIDS (the Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS), UNRISD and Joint UN initiatives.

  • Sixty Morning Walks Andy Fitch
    [Reading Copy Only: facsimile available at http://english.utah.edu/eclipse] Sixty Morning Walks Andy Fitch editions eclipse / 2008 Week One Tuesday 2.15 Before I pulled back the curtain I knew it was raining but then a sparrow called and I knew I’d been wrong. Bright clouds blew across the courtyard shaft. My New Balance had to stay stuffed with paper. My jeans had dried hung in the shower and didn’t even itch. Two women opened Dana Discovery Center. The one driving a golf cart in circles stopped. Silent attraction seemed to flow between us. The other smoked and rinsed rubber floormats. Wind made it cold for khaki ecologist suits. A cross-eyed girl shouted Morning! I couldn’t tell if there was someone behind me. On the way past I said Hello, twice, but she stared off gulping air. The pond at 110th (The Harlem Meer) is so reflective sometimes. Christo’s Gates had been up since Saturday. Last night I finally got to see them (in dismal circumstances: heavy bag, broken umbrella, damp socks and gloves). In all the Conservatory Gardens only one cluster of snowdrops had bloomed. Slender green shoots looked strong. Patchy light came through the trellis. As a jogger emitting techno beats curved beside the baseball fields I thought about vicarious emotional momentum. She had glossy dark hair. So many people use expensive hair products now. Somebody with leashes wrapped around one wrist sat with his face in a Daily News. People must always bug him about what it’s like to be a dog walker.

  • Flag Definitions
    Flag Definitions Rainbow Flag : The rainbow flag, commonly known as the gay pride flag or LGBTQ pride flag, is a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer pride and LGBTQ social movements. Always has red at the top and violet at the bottom. It represents the diversity of gays and lesbians around the world. Bisexual Pride Flag: Bisexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behaviour toward both males and females, or to more than one sex or gender. Pink represents sexual attraction to the same sex only (gay and lesbian). Blue represents sexual attraction to the opposite sex only (Straight). Purple represents sexual attraction to both sexes (bi). The key to understanding the symbolism of the Bisexual flag is to know that the purple pixels of colour blend unnoticeably into both pink and blue, just as in the “real world” where bi people blend unnoticeably into both the gay/lesbian and straight communities. Transgender Pride Flag: Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their assigned sex. Blue stripes at top and bottom is the traditional colour for baby boys. Pink stipes next to them are the traditional colour for baby girls. White stripe in the middle is for people that are nonbinary, feel that they don’t have a gender. The pattern is such that no matter which way you fly it, it is always correct, signifying us finding correctness in our lives. Intersex Pride Flag: Intersex people are those who do not exhibit all the biological characteristics of male or female, or exhibit a combination of characteristics, at birth.

  • Creating a Safe Environment (CASE) for LGBT Iowans Through Public Health Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel, MA, CHES Director of Education A
    Creating a Safe Environment (CASE) for LGBT Iowans through Public Health Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel, MA, CHES Director of Education and Outreach, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland Donna Red Wing, MA Executive Director, One Iowa Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people face significant health challenges. Many healthcare workers, from receptionists to physicians, are not accepting of or trained to work with LGBT people. The lack of understanding or hostility faced by LGBT patients, contributes to a large disparity in health access. National data show that 29% of LGB adults and 48% of transgender adults delay or avoid medical care compared to 17% of heterosexual adults. LGBT people seeking healthcare encounter medical forms that don’t acknowledge their gender identity, concerns that their gender identity or sexual orientation will not be held in confidence, and no idea if the healthcare provider and staff will treat them with respect and dignity if they disclose their sexual orientation. This presentation will provide best practices in working LGBT Iowans and offer strategies to create a safe zone designation. Reexamining LGBT Healthcare WELCOMING LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER (LGBT) INDIVIDUALS INTO HEALTHCARE Goals Define LGBT identities and issues Examine the particular hurdles and challenges that LGBT people face in accessing health care Provide simple steps you can take to remove barriers to care Answer questions, provoke discussion This material may be new or review for you Moving beyond “I treat all people the

  • Bisexual People’S Experiences of and Ideas for Improving Services
    COMPLICATED? Bisexual people’s experiences of and ideas for improving services Sam Rankin James Morton and Matthew Bell 1 Acknowledgements The Equality Network would like to thank all the respondents to the survey for taking the time to contribute their experiences and ideas to better bisexual inclusion. We would also like to thank the authors of ‘The Bisexuality Report’1 for inspiring this work. Thanks also to our research assistant, Mel Maguire and all the people who provided feedback on the consultation draft and proof read the final draft. Thank you to the Scottish Government Equality Unit for funding this work. 1. Barker and others, 2012 3 Foreword Meg John Barker Back in 2012 when we produced The Bisexuality Report, my co-authors and I struggled with a few things. There was the lack of evidence regarding the experience of bisexual people in the UK – particularly those outside of the official ‘bisexual community’ – to support the findings from other countries. There was the absence of in-depth qualitative data from UK-based bisexual people to illustrate our points, particularly regarding experiences of services - which is so necessary if we are to fight for improvement in those areas. And there was the dearth of material anywhere regarding people whose bisexuality intersected with other marginalised identities and experiences. This in particular was something we subsequently hugely regretted giving such a small amount of space to, given its vital importance and the danger of suggesting shared experience where actually there is so much diversity. For these reasons – and so many more – I am extremely grateful to the Equality Network for producing ‘Complicated?’.
