Whether You Are The Lady Bee Or A Super Man We All Have The Power To Be A Stormtrooper If We Choose :)
In a historic victory for gay rights, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 Friday that gays and lesbians have the constitutional right to marry their chosen partner.
The Women's Building is a women-led non-profit arts and education community center located in San Francisco, which advocates self-determination, gender equality and social justice.
Christopher Park must be one of the smallest parks in New York. It's just a small slice of land with flowers, a few trees, and some comfortable benches. Most importantly, however, is its sculpture by George Segal commemorating the events that occurred across the street when gay patrons at the Stonewall Inn rose up and said "we won't take it anymore" and demanded quality and justice for gay people everywhere. So, the park and its immediate surroundings are sacred space in the quest for equality and justice. That's what makes this very small slice of land a very big slice of history.
"Of equality - As if it harm'd me, giving others the same chances and rights as myself - As if it were not indispensable to my own rights that others possess the same."
(Walt Whitman - American poet, 1819-1892)
Anand is wrapped in a kantha silk scarf made with a hand embroidery.
This artcraft will be manufactured by ladies involved in several workshops that we have settled with GURIA, a Human Rights organisation fighting against the sexual exploitation of women and children, particularly those forced into prostitution and trafficking.
Each scarf is unique and made in sarees provided by several women in Benaras who take this opportunity to get rid of pieces that they brought in order to celebrate happy moments, festivals or parties.
Those accessories carry traces of happiness in their yarns...
Anand, our icon model, shows his body for the purpose of this brotherhood and happiness chain as this is a way to catch the attention on this fight for Human Rights and human dignity.
(Scarf style "Kashi" - 100% silk - Collection RED HALO)
This style is also available for throws and bed covers.
RED HALO is a collection of household linen based in Benaras (Varanasi - India) providing work to people who were living with difficulties and education to children.

“Wedding”
The vote to legalize same-sex marriage just passed in New York, 33-29. Congratulations to all the New Yorkers out there newly able to marry their loved ones. Now for the other 44 states.

I generally try to keep politics out of my Lego hobby, but let me be absolutely clear. You're welcome to your own opinions, but if one of those opinions is opposition to marriage equality, I'm not interested in hearing it here. Tonight is a night of celebration and joy for millions of people who are now just a little more equal than they were yesterday.
Bigoted comments will be deleted. Particularly offensive ones will result in a block.
Have a great night, and Play Well.
Edit: comments closed due to excessive drama.

Sunrise at Cape Banks, Sydney Australia. I wanted to post something with a bit of colour today
to celebrate the fantastic decision by SCOTUS on marriage equality in the USA. Congratulations
to my American friends, and I hope that one day my own government sees the basic logic of allowing
everyone to get married regardless of their orientation.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الصلاة والسلام على اشرف المرسلين
سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
التقطت هذه الصوره في زيارتي الاخيره لبيت الله الحرام في يناير الماضي .. الي شدني بالصوره تباين لونين
الابيض والاسود اكثر شي شدني بصراحه .. وتبادر بذهني قول رسولنا الكريم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
((الناس سواسية كأسنان المشط لا فضل لعربي على أعجمي إلا بالتقوى))
وبحثت كثيراً حتى اقرأ اراء حول مبدأ المساواة
في ديننا الاسلامي من هذا الحديث ...
ووجدت
قــال
((المستشرق بودلي ))
ليس هناك أي عائق لوني للمسلم فلا يهم أكان المؤمن أبيض أو أسود أو أصفر، فالجميع يعاملون على قدم المساواة
(( توماس كارلايل ))
في الإسلام خلّة أراها من أشرف الخلال وأجلّها وهي التسوية بين الناس. وهذا يدل على أصدق النظر وأصوب الرأي. فنفس المؤمن راجحة بجميع دول الأرض، والناس في الإسلام سواء.
الكل يرى بأن ديننا الإسلامي حقق مبدأ المساواة على بقية الأديان .. وفعلاً هذه هي المساواة التي رأيتها في بيت الله الحرام ... كم اشتقت لذلك المكان
في النهايه لا يسعني ان اقول لكم
اللهم بارك لنا في هذه الجمعة المباركه
اخوكم : عيسى الشيخ

Not always do laws of the land do justice to men and women. The old fashioned balance seem to convey to the modern era that all are born equal. It is only circumstances and opportunities that we pick and pursue which make us different from one another.
