Hundreds of Same-Sex Couples Marry in New York, From Niagara Falls to Manhattan
DemocracyNow.org - Hundreds of gay couples got married across New York state Sunday after it became the sixth and most populous state in the United States to recognize same-sex marriages. New York joins Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia in allowing same-sex unions. But gay marriage is still specifically banned in 39 states. On Sunday, Kitty Lambert, 54, and Cheryle Rudd, 53, were married with Niagara Falls in the backdrop, a traditional honeymoon capital. Both grandmothers, the women celebrated their marriage surrounded by family and friends. Democracy Now!'s Elizabeth Press was there to cover what they described as the first same-sex marriage in New York, as their marriage ceremony began one second after midnight. We can educate people into understanding that we're your neighbors, we're your coworkers, your friends, we're your family members; and all we're asking for is the right to protect ourselves, the right to have the same protections under law that our neighbors do, that our coworkers do, that our friends and family do. This is about equal access to equal protection under the law, Lambert said.

Why Strippers Are Becoming Bartenders (HBO)
Strip clubs may be a place to party for some, but for female entertainers, they are an office space. And over the past few years that workplace has changed dramatically thanks to an entirely new job position moving in: bartenders.
Even though bartenders don’t get up on stage, the strip club bartenders dress similarly to the dancers and shake it behind the bar. Because customers tend to throw money into the air as they would to a dancer, rather than handing them the money directly, bartenders have found themselves fighting with surrounding employees, including dancers, to acquire their tips.
Some strippers have started to organize a city wide strike to address the competition between the women, along with other issues that affect the industry.
“I’ve had resentment as a dancer, I remember resenting bartenders,” Chela, who recently transitioned from dancing to bartending, tells VICE News. “It becomes very aggressive. People forget who they are when they start to see money.”

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a first-of-its-kind report assessing the lifetime risk of HIV in the U.S. by state, as well as by key at-risk populations. Not surprisingly, people who live in the South (the region known to have amongst the highest rate of new HIV infections) were seen to at greatest lifetime risk.
What surprised many was the fact was that one specific group—gay black men—was reported to have a startling one in two chance of getting HIV in a lifetime, irrespective of age or geographic location.
The CDC report, which analyzed national HIV surveillance data from 2009 to 2013, further highlighted the disparity in infection rates by examining risk by sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and gender, wherein:
White gay and bisexual men were reported to have a lifetime risk of one in 11.
Black heterosexual men were seen to have a one in 20 lifetime risk (compared to a one in 132 risk in white heterosexual men).
Even injecting drug users (IDUs) were seen to be at lower risk, with male IDUs having a one in 36 lifetime risk while female IDUs had a one in 23 lifetime risk.
Causes of Increased Risk
Understanding the stark differences in lifetime HIV risk is not always easy. The common, knee-jerk response might be to conclude, dispassionately, that sexual practices paired with cultural attitudes and behavior are the sole factors that place gay black men at such profoundly high risk.
But the simple fact is that gay black men in the U.S. sit the epicenter of numerous intersecting vulnerabilities, which together make infection all but inevitable in certain individuals.
From a broader social perspective, it is known that any epidemic—be it HIV or any other communicable disease—tends to strike groups that are stigmatized well in advance of the disease event. This happens because there are generally few systems in place to intervene, either medically and legally, and often little interest to act from those outside the stigmatized population.
We saw this in the early part of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s where gay men, just emerging from an era of police abuse and judicial apathy, were hit by a wave of infections with no means to stop it, There was nothing in the way of gay health services or advocacy groups to combat inaction on either the state or federal level.
So, with deaths rising from the hundreds to thousands, the gay community took it upon themselves (often with the participation of well-connected, high-profile gay men), to mount their own healthcare services (like the Gay Men's Health Crisis in New York) and civil actions groups (like ACT UP).
The same does not hold true for gay black men. While there has been greater effort made on the federal level to reach this population of men, there remains a marked gap in the number of community-based programs targeted specifically to gay men of color.
Unlike Elton John or activist-playwright Larry Kramer, there are few black gay heroes coming forward to speak to or on behalf of the community or many high-profile black celebrities advocating for the group (in the way that, say, Elizabeth Taylor did for the larger gay community in the early 80s).
As such, from the perspective of disease prevention, gay black men are isolated. Furthermore, the high rate of infection can serve to reinforce negative stereotypes, whereby gay black men are seen by some to be either irresponsible, promiscuous or getting what they deserve.
It's a vicious cycle that only further stigmatizes gay black men while fueling the already high new infection rate.
HIV Risk and Multiple Vulnerabilities
When we speak about intersecting vulnerabilities, we refer to the specific barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, and care within at-risk populations. The more barriers there are, the greater the risk. Conversely, identifying these barriers enables public health agencies to employ culturally specific programs and strategies to better overcome them.
Epidemiological and clinical research has shown that, as a group, gay black men are at a fundamental risk of HIV due to a number of obvious and not-so-obvious reasons. Among them:
Anal sex remains among the highest risk factors associated with HIV infection, carrying an 18-fold greater risk of transmission when compared to vaginal sex. Higher rates of co-occurring sexually transmitted diseases only increase the risk. The CDC reports that syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea in black men occurs at six, 10 and 16 times the rate, respectively, of white men in the U.S.
High rates of poverty, unemployment, and incarceration in black communities are inherently linked to higher rates of HIV. Currently, the poverty rate among black Americans is 27.5 percent versus 9.9 percent in whites. Southern states can regularly exceed these figures, such as in Louisiana where 40 percent of the black population lives in poverty.

Years After Wife's Death, 90-Year-Old Former Senator To Marry A Man
At 90 years old, former Pennsylvania Sen. Harris Wofford has announced he's marrying a man 20 years after the death of his wife.
In a New York Times op-ed, Wofford explained his budding romance: We both felt the immediate spark, and as time went on, we realized that our bond had grown into love. Other than with Clare, I had never felt love blossom this way before.
Wofford says he is set to marry Matthew Charlton, a 40-year-old man whom he met nearly 15 years ago, at the end of April. Wofford was married for nearly five decades before his wife, Clare, died in 1996 after battling acute leukemia.
Wofford says in his letter that he is thankful for the Supreme Court's decision to strengthen the dignity of marriage by striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.
In the New York Times piece, he also adds, Too often, our society seeks to label people by pinning them on the wall — straight, gay or in between. ... I had a half-century of marriage with a wonderful woman, and now am lucky for a second time to have found happiness.
Wofford spent a large part of his career fighting for civil rights. He served as a special assistant for President John F. Kennedy and advised Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement.

Citizenship Denied: DOMA, Immigration, and Gay Marriage
While President Obama theoretically endorsed same-sex marriage in mid-2012, the fact is that the Defense of Marriage Act still remains the law of the land. And when it comes to immigration policy, this law continues to put bi-national same-sex couples in a bind.
Reason TV profiled one such couple, Hope Hall, an American citizen and military veteran, and her Canadian partner and soon-to-be wife Nathalie Gaulthier, who runs an internationally renowned circus arts school and has spent 17 years living in working in the U.S. Though marriage is often the one reliable path to citizenship for many straight couples, the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits United States Immigration and Citizenship Services from granting the same legal rights to gay couples, even those married in a state where gay marriage is legal.
I could just lie to the government and marry a man, says Gaulthier. But I don't want to lie. I want to be honest.

Prison is a place that we all hope to avoid ever ending up in, yet we can’t help but find it fascinating at the same time. There is a tremendous number of movies, books, and television shows about prison that we eagerly devour, but for the sake of ratings and brevity they leave out a lot about real prison life. Inmates like to pretend that they are tough, but you’d be surprised how many fake being mentally ill because they think it will benefit them in some way. Prisoners trading cigarettes for favors is a common trope, but it turns out that many of them prefer a sweeter form of payment. Many new guards don’t realize what a source of fascination they are to the prisoners. With very little to do in the form of entertainment, and a monotonous routine, many prisoners consider the actions of the guards an endless form of amusement. Some prisoners will even try to parlay their relationship with a guard into something advantageous to them. On the other hand, unless you know what you’re doing, you don’t want to be perceived as being too friendly to guards. Being labelled a snitch is one of the worst things that can happen to you, and many inmates aren’t willing to risk so much as being alone in a room with a guard just in case a vicious rumor starts to spread. When it comes to hiding contraband, most inmates get downright inventive and you won’t believe where they stash their valuables while they’re incarcerated.

US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, chairing the United Nations Security Council
US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, chairing the United Nations Security Council meeting Wednesday, on the last day of US's turn of the rotating presidency of the 15-member body in September, on violence against women in warfare, dropped a bombshell on Sri Lanka by including Sri Lanka in the company of Congo, Sudan, and Mayanmar, saying Sri Lanka has used rape as a weapon of war [against Tamils], thereby adding another incriminating legal element to mounting woes of the Sri Lanka Government from allegations of war-crimes for slaughtering more than 20,000 Tamil civilians, and incarcerating more than 300,000 Tamils with little freedom of movement in military supervised internment camps.

Now, reading the headlines, one might think that the use of rape as a tactic of war only happens occasionally, or in a few places, like the Democratic Republic of the Congo or Sudan. That would be bad enough, but the reality is much worse. Weve seen rape used as a tactic of war before in Bosnia, Burma, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere. In too many countries and in too many cases, the perpetrators of this violence are not punished, and so this impunity encourages further attacks.

Marriage for All Families: Stories from Maine
The first of a four-part series made in each of the states that have marriage equality votes this November, this short shares the experiences of same-sex couples who want to get married in Maine.
They have the same challenges, responsibilities, and aspirations as any other couple – but they are strangers in the eyes of the law. That's why marriage equality is so important: it aligns personality reality with legal reality, as a simple matter of fairness.
The series is produced in association with The Four, a social media campaign to support marriage equality in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington State.

(Ruth Sherman)'s Mother-Daughter (Gay Pride) - Gay Marriage
This is a very personal email... the most personal I have written, the most revealing. I want to share an aspect of who I am that I've discovered relatively recently, that goes very, very deep.

I'm the mother of a gay child.
Lily, my beautiful and talented 18-year-old, declared her homosexuality when she was 14. So my family was thrilled when the great State of New York passed a law this past Friday that allows same-sex marriage. I lived in New York City for many years (and I still live very close) and I conduct much of my business there. Lily will start college there in August. I love the place. We all do.
As we watched the live stream of the New York legislature debate and vote, and it became clear the bill would become law, Lily fell into my arms, her relief palpable, and broke down in tears.
The world is changing, Mommy.
Yes, it is.
As you might imagine, our journey so far has been taxing -- more so for Lily than me or the rest of the family, for sure. But it has also been extraordinary. In particular, I have learned a very important lesson from my daughter about the tremendous power of being who you are. These past few years have forced me to reflect and dig very deep to explore my true feelings and discover who I really am. It became clear to me that I couldn't be my authentic self unless I did. And that meant my clients and customers -- as well as everyone else in my life -- would be served less well.
I am on record as urging clients to be authentic speakers and communicators, of being truthful. Being who we are is enormously persuasive and has the potential to make us irresistible. And the deeper we are willing to dig, the more truths we uncover and the more powerful and irresistible we become.
So, I decided to take my own advice.
Being true to who you are, is the topic of my article and video. Scroll down to read my personal story and how you, too, can become irresistible by tapping into your own authenticity.
And Lily and me? We continue on our journey... of love, growth, struggle, and acceptance.
I invite you to come along.

The first gay graffiti in history?
The first gay graffiti in history? Researchers reveal large phalluses carved into rocks on Greek island - complete with inscriptions talking about men mounting each other
Two giant phalluses and a stream of steamy text carved into rocks on the Aegean island of Astypalaia
One inscription says: 'Nikasitimos was here mounting Timiona'
A wild and windy rock on an Aegean island has revealed what experts say is some of the earliest gay erotic art ever found.
Researchers found two giant phalluses and a stream of steamy text carved into rocks on the Aegean island of Astypalaia.
The inscriptions talk about two men mounting each other, and the find is is described as 'very, very rare.'
Dr Andreas Vlachopoulos of the University of Ioannina told The Guardian the art was clearly homosexual.
'They claimed their own space in large letters that not only expressed sexual desire but talked about the act of sex itself,' he told the Guardian.
'And that is very, very rare.'
Found overlooking the Bay of Vathy on the island's north-western tip, the inscription has led the archaeologist to believe that soldiers may once have been garrisoned in the area.
Astypalaia is best known for its ancient cemeteries of mass graves containing the remains of newborn infants.
At Kylindra, on the west flank of the castle hill, a unique graveyard has been excavated by the Greek archaeological service.
At least 2700 newborns and small children were buried in ceramic pots between approximately 750 B.C. and Roman times.

Supreme Court Hears DOMA Case (Full Audio)
Gay marriage was heard before the Supreme Court--listen to the full arguments in the case of United States v. Windsor challenging the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)--which prevents same sex couples from receiving the same benefits under the law as a couple consisting of one man and one woman.
The basic details of the case:
In 2007, Edith Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer, residents of New York, married in Toronto, Ontario, after 40 years of romantic partnership. Canada's first openly gay judge, Justice Harvey Brownstone officiated. Windsor had first suggested engagement in 1965. Spyer died in 2009, at which time New York legally recognized same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. After Spyer's death, Windsor was required to pay more than $363,000 in federal estate taxes on her inheritance of her wife's estate. If federal law accorded their marriage the same status as different-sex marriages recognized by their state, she would have paid no taxes.
Windsor approached several gay rights organizations, all of whom turned her down. She was then referred to Roberta Kaplan, at the firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, who had unsuccessfully argued the case challenging the inability of same-sex couples to marry in New York before the New York Court of Appeals in 2006. When I heard her story, it took me about five seconds, maybe less, said Kaplan, who was joined in Windsor's case by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
