Few can be unaware of the events in Russia where a trio of young women have been arrested and tried for the most specious of charges. They have acknowledged and apologised to those who were offended by their demonstration in the cathedral which upset the primate of the Russian Orthodox church so much, but I suspect not because of what they did but because they dared to do it at all.

It's about a guy who wants to be a feminism ally and has suggestions for other "dudes" who also want to be a feminism ally.

Suze Orman show today on CNBC News channel, had a long feature on the Money worries of gay and to a lesser extent "other" marriages. I think if you are going to have a life partner type of relationship or have one, you need to see this...

Since no one seems to have blogged about it yet I thought I'd mention some tidbit of good news out of my home province of Ontario. It seems that all three parties (seriously, even including the Conservatives) unanimously voted to adjust the Ontario Human Rights Code to prohibit discrimination against transgender people.
It's a first for any Canadian province but I do believe it won't be the last. Hopefully other provinces will follow suit in time. :)

SRS funding re-instated in Alberta

Submitted by S.L.Hawke on Thu, 2012/06/07 - 1:44pm
Although I do not follow politics... a friend of mine does, and just mentioned to me something I thought I would pass on. Especially to Dorothy Colleen... and anyone else in Alberta.
The new Premier of Alberta seems to have broken with tradition in a big way, by re-instating funding for SRS patients in the province (up to 25 per year) -- without waiting to be forced into it by the legal actions still winding their ways through the courts.
