Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part II
2009-09-13 19:08:00 Ultimate Grappling has recently addressed the state of women in mixed martial arts. Mainstream news agencies like nbcsports.com and newamericanmedia.org have also recognized women in the sport of MMA as a newsworthy topic. In the year 2008, www.fightergirls.com increased its registered fighters to include over 1000 women. With this type of growth, it is only natural for Ultimate Grappling to continue giving well-deserved exposure to the female patrons, practitioners and pageants of mixed martial arts. ...

CONTEST: Create the National Equality March song
2009-08-27 16:38:00 The National Equality March on Washington, DC is taking place on Sunday October 11 at 12PM. This grassroots rally is marching on Washington to send a message that now is the time for equal rights for LGBT people. A lot of planning is being done, but more needs to happen. I just ran across a "call for entries" to create an inspirational LGBT Rights song that will be performed during the march on Washington. I'm trying to get all my eggs together so I can make it to Washington, the only problem is I'm leaving later that week to go to Vegas for the Blog World Expo...keep your fingers crossed!

Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part I
2009-08-23 15:44:00 A conversation about the state of women in the sport of mixed martial arts should begin with a glance back at two combative sports with a long history: boxing and wrestling. Although women's boxing first appeared in the Olympic games as a demonstration in 1904, it really took the entire 20th Century for it to gain acceptance within the athletic community. Despite strong social stereotypes and traditional points of views on the role women should have within our society, female fighters have been given several venues to showcase their skills, but lacked a fan base. Although organizations like The Swedish Amateur Boxing Association and The National Wrestling Alliance provided opportunities to see women part-take in the combative sports, a...

American Birthright: Marriage Equality
2009-05-27 19:32:00 I was just letting the set-back of Prop8 settle in, knowing that the challenge would eventually end up at the Supreme Court. What other outcome could be possible? Neither side will be contented until all options are exhausted, so a ruling against it yesterday would have only inflamed the Mormon's and other radical Christians, causing them to do what is already in progress; a higher legal challenge.Then someone asked me if I knew the opinion of the SCOTUS nominee: Circuit Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor?I didn't in fact know that. Life has been too busy for such research. Well, I couldn't leave Paula without an answer, so I headed off too Google. What a mistake that was! I was made instantly lived when I read the following from (predictably) the UTAH Senator:"Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican and another GOP member of the Judiciary Committee, said conservatives are particularly eager to avoid a Supreme Court ruling akin to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized aborti...
Equality Bill Will Force Churches to Employ Homosexuals
2009-05-22 16:32:00 CCFON says, 'Churches and other Christian groups will be forced to employ practising homosexuals, transsexuals and civil partners under the Government?s new Equality Bill.The Bill aims to sweep all of the existing law on equality into one Act of Parliament and to eliminate more forms of discrimination than are currently covered. While Christians believe in the innate worth of every human being, the Bill undermines basic Christian freedoms to adhere to biblical values in the area of employment. Churches and other Christian groups will not be able to discriminate on the basis of sexual practice which contravenes biblical values or gender reassignment when employing staff. Only roles which mainly involve teaching, promoting, or leading worship services will be exempt from the provisions of the Government?s new Equality Bill. Far from simplifying the law which the Equality Bill promised to do. The Bill places even more complex requirements above and beyond those already within the exis...

Maine: Add Another to the ranks of trying for Marriage Equality
2009-04-30 19:39:00 Maine has leaped forward in the fight for equality. Their version of the bill has made it past the Senate in Maine, and should have little problems in the House. The Governor, as they seem prone to do, is non-committal on what he will do if the bill comes before him for his signature.A similar situation is happening in New Hampshire, which came this far through the process yesterday.As they say, "As Iowa goes, so goes the nation."I personally would like the to hurry up already. This surge in civil rights needs to catch like a wildfire in the Santa Anna area. If the momentum picks up then perhaps the Obama Administration will make this a higher priority, and then we can get married by or ON(!) our 20th Anniversary. How cool would that be?!So, that gives the Federal Government 3 years to get with the program. That should be more than enough time.Congrats Mainiacs!On a side, and additionally encouraging in Maine, they tried to make this a ballot issue and that was rejected. You ...

Equality in Education: Boys > Girls
2008-06-02 00:01:00 It was assumed that men were just better than women at math and science, but a recent study suggests that the lovely ladies are equally equipped to dominate at these subjects. A study (http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_-releases/2008-05/msl-btm_105230-8.php), led in part by Kellogg School of Management Professor Paola Sapienza looked at over data from over 276,000 students in over 40 countries. What were the results? In a nutshell the study suggest that what we have come to believe about the differences in male and female inherent aptitudes can be discarded. For instance, the data from US schools showed that boys performed nearly 10% better than girls in areas like math and science. That 10% disparity is actually the average gap worldwide between the genders. The study also showed that US girls had to deal with the 23rd ranked GGI (gender gap index). Being 23rd isn't anything to brag about since it placed the US in the lower half of the countries in the study. The GGI is an...

The California Supreme Court Decision: Civil Equality Trumps Religious Bigo
2008-05-23 09:51:00 by Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D. The ruling had been anticipated for months. Gay Americans hoped they’d be recognized as equals and gain the right to the civil institution called “marriage.” The Christianist Right held their breath knowing that when put to the ultimate test, discrimination always loses. The California Supreme Court decision was announced at 10 AM (PDT) on 15 May 2008. Both sides “won,” sort of. In a May 17, 2006 editorial The New York Times summarized: The California Supreme Court brought the United States a step closer to fulfilling its ideals of equality and justice with its momentous 4-to-3 ruling upholding the right of same-sex couples to marry. … Opponents of giving gay couples the respect, benefits, obligations and protections that come with marriage are already mobilizing to try to nullify the historic decision through a proposed state constitutional amendment likely to appear on the November ballot. … Still, the California verdict was a major vict...
