With half-term about to commence, Achieving for Children will run a food voucher scheme to address the pressing issue of local hard-pressed and vulnerable families in the borough not being able to cover the cost of meals during the school holiday. Guidance will be launched early next week to let eligible families know how they can collect their voucher. Fourteen school streets now live in Richmond Earlier this year, Richmond Council used emergency powers to ensure that three local primary schools were the first in the borough to receive ‘School Street’ status prior to the summer holidays.

Joe Lie- berman’s, I-Conn., bill—the Military Readiness Enhancement Act—calling for and end to the 17-year “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy. Specifically, the bill would bar sexual orien- tation discrimination on current service mem- bers and future recruits. The measure also bans armed forces’ discharges based on sexual ori- entation from the date the law is enacted, at the same time the bill stipulates that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guard members previ- ously discharged under the policy be eligible for re-enlistment. “For too long, gay and lesbian service members have been forced to conceal their sexual orien- tation in order to dutifully serve their country,” Burris said March 3.

    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. Southwest page 16 Noting that other supreme courts have al- lowed legislatures to provide “equal benefits” of Ingrid Olson (left) and Reva Evans of Council Bluffs, Iowa, talk with news reporters April 3 after marriage through civil unions, the Iowa court that state’s supreme court ruled unanimously in favor of same-sex marriage.

  • Rabih Eller Erika Lämnar Idol?
    2009-10-28 13:49 CET Rabih eller Erika lämnar Idol? Förra veckan fick mycket riktigt Nicklas lämna Idol men denna vecka är det lite mer osäkert på vem som folket röstar ut. Tre av deltagarna som Ladbrokes tror sitter ganska säkert är Mariette som röstas ut till 15 gånger pengarna samt favoriterna Erik och Tove till 34 gånger pengarna. Rabih ligger lite sämre till än de andra till odds 3,00 men följs tätt av Erika till 3,50, Reza till 4,00, Eddie till 5,00 och Calle till 7,00. Favoriterna som vinnare är fortfarande Tove och Erik som båda ger favoritoddset 2,75. "Ju längre tävlingen går ju svårare blir det att utse vem som kommer att åka ut. Alla som är kvar är väldigt duktiga och har visat sina styrkor men en av dem kan ha oturen att få en stil som inte passar dem på fredag och bli utröstade för ett mindre lyckat framträdande", säger Andreas Gillberg, Sverigechef Ladbrokes Norden.
