Hundreds of people and vehicles created an hours-long traffic jam on State Street into the Chicago Loop from 26th Street near the South Loop. It was an inspiring event with a diverse group of people including a large showing of Caucasians who peacefully affirmed that black lives matter in a system that disproportionately harms the latter.

This event will bring together activists and comedians to discuss the ways in which comedy can push forward agendas such as #metoo and contemporary women’s rights movements, and how this effort can translate into meaningful change in women’s lives. The event will also showcase the work of UN Women and Mythos Labs in countering violent extremist recruitment narratives—and their understandings of gender—through comedy. It features a comedy set by renown comedian and actress Aparna Nancherla.
In early 2018, UN Women partnered with Mythos Labs to produce a series of comedy videos to counter the messaging of terrorist groups in the Asia region. Working with female comedians in South Asia and South-East Asia, these sketches challenge the narratives used by violent extremist groups and counter extremist ideology in the online space. While this work was originally piloted to prevent and counter violent extremism, the implications go far beyond this realm. Comedy can and is being used to promote broader themes of women’s empowerment and gender equality, by not just making us laugh, but by challenging stereotypes with a broad and engaged audience.
This project is part of UN Women’s Empowered Women, Peaceful Communities programme, which is funded by the Government of Japan. This programme works in the Asia Pacific region to challenge the gendered dynamics of violent extremism and reverse its growing trend, through prioritizing women’s rights, empowerment, participation and leadership—in national decision-making and at the community level.

“No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.” - Justice Anthony M. Kennedy

This November the Finnish Parliament voted for the legalisation of same-sex marriage. Citizens' initiative forced the Parliament took action, and we won. In 2012 Finland had a first openly gay
presidential candidate, Pekka Haavisto. He and his partner, Antonio Flores, really took equality in public. Then FInnish post office published Tom of FInland stamps. Lots of publicity for the cause and lots of fighting going on. :-) I'm glad that most of the human kind and most of the Finns understand what love is, and what it means. Still there are idiots who think it's a sin to love.
When I walked into my apartment today after a hike with Dodger this set of photography hanging on my wall really made me stop to think about what these two images really mean to me.
So much is being said about "equality" in the United States, but most of it is very unequal. I'm a kid of mixed parents and there was a time in this country where people where beaten to death and disowned by their families for dating someone outside their race. There were also laws against it.
So when we talk about equality we must understand that this does not mean we are equal, it's simply trying to level the field. As long as certain people have the groupthink mentality where they are somehow better or more entitled to something over others, then then equality is never possible even after it is the law of the land.
Equality does not equal equal, unless it is divided equally.
My favorite coffee shop is next door to the Billy deFrank Community Center in San Jose. As I was sitting here today, pondering the blustery weather, my laptop screen went dark (battery saving is good) and I saw this reflection.
With all the Prop. 8 propaganda, I can't help but be vocal against it. I don't understand how any American can vote to take a right away from a fellow American. Our country was founded on equality.
I just don't feel comfortable with the un-earned privileges I have in this country because I'm white, or in this case, straight. Just because I'm in love with a man, I can get married. But my friends who are in love with people of the same gender cannot? It's disturbing to me on a very fundamental level.
If Prop. 8 passes, I will be a very, very disappointed citizen. But I won't stop fighting.
