    Setting Speed Limits: Public Input Summary, December 2019 I. Background Between May 2018 and June 2019, staff and the community actively developed the Vision Zero Action Plan. A part of the plan identified two speed-related strategies utilizing the safe systems approach that focuses on all types of road users including bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists. The safe systems approach acknowledges that people will make mistakes and seeks to design a system that allows for these mistakes, rather than expecting perfect driving behavior, to minimize death and injury. The city hosted public meetings and opened an online forum to gather public input on lowering speed limits in the city. II. Outreach Four public meetings were held on Saturday, November 16 (16 attendees), Thursday, November 21 (14 attendees), Thursday, December 11, 2019 (34 attendees) and Saturday, December 14 (41 attendees). The topic was posted online from November 16 – December 28, 2019 on Tempe Forum and received a total of 233 unduplicated survey responses.

  • DIY Identities in a DIY Scene: Trans Music in the UK
    This is an open access author copy of a chapter published in the edited book: The Emergence of Trans: Cultures, Politics and Everyday Lives. It is an updated version of an essay first published in the journal Sexualities, under the title “De/constructing DIY identities in a trans music scene”. To cite this chapter in formal academic work, please use the published version: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781315145815 DIY identities in a DIY scene: trans music events in the UK Kirsty Lohman and Ruth Pearce The past three decades have seen the emergence of an increasingly vigorous and outspoken trans movement in the United Kingdom. Resulting political and social changes have been accompanied by an increasing number of individuals willing to disclose their trans status and be publicly trans. With the development of ‘new modes’ and ‘different codes’ of trans identity and political activism (Whittle, 1998: 393), and an increasingly visible trans population, the stand- alone trans has also come to operate as an organising category for cultural forms. Whereas previous terminologies such as ‘transsexual’, ‘transvestite’ (and perhaps even ‘transgender’) provided more distinct categorical accounts of gender-variant possibility, ‘trans’ is intentionally open and – like ‘queer’ – refuses any clear or coherent definition (Pearce, Steinberg and Moon, 2019). In this chapter, we reflect on what it might mean to ‘do’ trans in a contemporary cultural context, in the tradition of recent accounts of trans music, theatre and performance (see, for instance Halberstam, 2005; Kumpf, 2016; Gossett, Stanley and Burton, 2017; Jaime, 2017; Landry, 2018). While there have always been trans performers, opportunities for their involvement in somewhat regular trans events have historically been limited.

    THE VOICE OF CHICAGO’S GAY, LESBIAN, BI AND TRANS COMMUNITY SINCE 1985 April 8, 2009 • vol 24 no 28 www.WindyCityMediaGroup.com Iowa says ‘I Do’ Chicago Red to gay marriage BY LISA KEEN Stars page 22 KEEN NEWS SERVICE In an enormous victory for equal marriage rights for gay couples, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled unanimously April 3 that gay couples should have the right to marriage licenses the same as heterosexual couples. The decision represents the first time a state supreme court has ruled unanimously in favor of equal marriage rights for gay couples, and it is the first time a state in America’s “heartland” has done so. The decision, which goes into ef- fect in 21 days, will make Iowa the third state to TrueChild be currently offering marriage licenses to same- sex couples. Cook-Off page 7 “We are firmly convinced the exclusion of gay and lesbian people from the institution of civil marriage does not substantially further any im- portant government objective,” wrote Justice Mark Cady, for the seven-member court. “The legislature has [with its 1998 law banning mar- riage] excluded a historically disfavored class of persons from a supremely important civil insti- tution without a constitutionally sufficient jus- tification.” The court said the law violated the state con- stitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the South by law and that the court’s own constitutional duty “requires” it to strike the law down.
