Vassil Bojkov Collection
Aknowledgments
Thrace Foundation
The Vassil Bojkov Collection comprises archaeological material which has entered over several years. It includes various types of art work and artifacts, made of different materials, and dating from the Neolithic period to the Late Antiquity.
Among the more significant classes of artifacts are: arms and weapons, harness parts and decorations, adornments and belt appliqués, metal and clay household and cult objects, metal and stone sculpture.
The impressive selection of bronze, silver and gold vessels represents the core of the Collection. This significant group comprises vases and utensils ranging from the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD, which were issued from workshops situated on the entire ancient world: Middle and Near East, Asia Minor, continental and island Greece, North Aegean coast, the neighboring to Greece Thrace and Macedonia, Scythia on the North Black Sea steps, as well as Etruria and South Italy (Magna Graecia). Among the most noteworthy is the group of bronze and silver horns and rhyta. The silver vases and utensils, and the various forms of silver drinking cups decorated with gilded figures represent a separate category. The Collection houses three gilded silver vases representing Orpheus, which are the sole depictions of the mythical musician known on metal vessels to this date. Equally rare on metal ware are the representations of Theseus and Helen, the famous ancient Greek heroes, which adorn some gilded silver cups and kantharoi.
A large part of the Collection are bronze vessels of various types: oinochoae (wine jugs), situlae (buckets), hydriae and amphorae (large containers for water and wine), phialae (libation plates), cups, ladles, strainers, etc.
The inscriptions found on some of the vases are of special value and outstanding significance. Some of them indicate the names of the represented figures, others the name of the owner of the object or the weight of the vase; at times they are short formulas of dedication, or more enigmatic graffiti and monograms. Some of the inscriptions are carefully punched, others are chased with more diligence or they are simply scratched on the metal surface.
The Collection is undergoing systematic publication in a series of volumes, the first of which is dedicated to the focal group of the pre-Roman metal vases and utensils, and includes 146 artifacts. The second volume, as well dedicated to the same group, is under preparation.
The Thrace Foundation Publishers was founded in 2004 and it is focused on issue of scientific literature, relevant to the protection of the Bulgarian cultural and historical heritage and its promotion.

Sideris A. 2016. Metal Vases and Utensils in the Vassil Bojkov Collection. Vol. 1. Sofia.
The first volume of the catalogue of Metal Vases and Utensils in the Vassil Bojkov Collection is articulated in five chapters. The first one spans the 8th to the mid 4th centuries BC and comprises Phrygian, Phoenician and other pre-Achaemenid vessels from the Middle and Near East and Anatolia. It includes as well several Achaemenid creations, many of which represent the Lydian toreutic school, while distinctive traits on others betray the intensity of the Achaemenid contacts with the Greek cities of the Propontis and the Aegean coast of Asia Minor.
The second chapter deals with the Greek toreutic output of the Archaic period, with artefacts ranging from the second quarter of the 6th to the first quarter of the 5th centuries BC. It represents all the major centres: Laconia, Corinth, Ionia, Western Greece and Magna Graecia.
The third chapter contains creations of the same centres, to which now Athens, Argos, Campania and Etruria are added. It encompasses the period between the end of the Persian Wars and the end of the Peloponnesian War. The Athenian and Athenian-related silverware of this period forms a distinctive group, the technical perfection, the aesthetic value and the outstanding significance of which place the Vassil Bojkov Collection in the leading position among the museum collections of Classical toreutics worldwide.
The fourth chapter deals with the entire 4th century BC: it comprises almost exclusively Greek works issued from already well-established centres, like Corinth and Athens, now joined by those of South Italy and Macedonia. During this century, Macedonia, Thrace and Scythia reach unprecedented heights in the use, grave deposition and, presumably, production of metal vases, especially those of precious metals: a phenomenon undoubtedly related to both the expansion of the Greek cultural model, and the sudden influx of huge amounts of wealth, originating from the acquisition of the Achaemenid royal treasuries. Some vase-types, such as situlae, oinochoae and cups, display no breaks in their evolution at the end of the Classical period. Therefore their development is followed until the turn of the 4th century, when a more conspicuous change occurs in the trends and fashions of the material culture, as a result of profound shifts of power and of the economic epicentres taking place outside the Greek peninsula.
The last chapter collects material from the 3rd to the early 1st centuries BC, mostly cups, from areas once considered as the periphery of the Greek world, but now becoming the emerging centres of the Hellenistic ecumene.
Each entry of the catalogue has a brief main heading, sequentially numbered, and a more descriptive secondary passage, always mentioning the material of which the artefact is made, as well as its inventory number in the collection. The body of the text of each entry is divided into three sections: the technical description – printed in slightly smaller characters – followed by the physical description of the artefact and the discussion. The 146 artefacts presented in this volume are illustrated by 388 pictures and 110 drawings, and their entries are supported by 111 pictures of comparable artefacts in other collections and museums.
Some 500 place names – of the find spots, the production centres, and the regions mentioned in the text – are shown on the three accompanying maps. The catalogue concludes with three indexes (personal names, place names, general index), followed by a list of the 21 inscriptions and graffiti, a list of figures of the comparanda, and a concordance list, intended to facilitate the identification of the entries in the current volume with those in the previous publications of the Thrace Foundation.

A new publication by Thrace Foundation
Athanasios Sideris: Metal Vases and Utensils in the Vassil Bojkov Collection, vol. 1, Sofia 2016
Thrace Foundation just published the first volume of the projected systematic scientific catalogues of the Vassil Bojkov Collection. The collection includes various categories of archaeological material, from jewelry to marble statues. The richest and most important class of artifacts is, however, the toreutics and especially the metal vases, to which precisely is dedicated the recent volume. Its five chapters present 146 vases and utensils, of which more than half were previously unpublished, made of bronze, silver and gold.
Rare large containers, such as amphorae and cauldrons, are discussed next to exquisite silver gilt drinking cups. Vases, which have served in the prestigious social custom of the banquet, are presented along with others, which might have had ritual function. Many of them were created in workshops of the Middle and Near East and represent the aesthetic and social values of the Phrygians, the Phoenicians or the Persians. Even more exemplars come from the workshops of Peloponnese, Athens, Macedonia and the Aegean coasts. The variety of shapes, the intriguing functions, the luxurious decoration, the rarely depicted myths occurring on some of these vases, as well as the diversity of inscriptions and graffiti, are some of the characteristics, which actually range the collection amongst the richest worldwide regarding metal vases. The volume is lavishly illustrated with hundreds of high quality full color pictures of the artifacts and their details, with profile and detail drawings, and with depictions of comparative material from other museums and collections. Maps, indexes, lists and cross-references make the reading enjoyable for everyone, while the specialist is gratified with an extensive and updated bibliography to guide further research.

This study analyzes the educational attainment and early labor market outcomes of young migrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) who arrived in Germany between 1989 and 1994. The results reveal that migrants have lower educational attainments than natives, and that within the group of migrants, Jewish migrants perform better than ethnic German migrants. A decomposition analysis reveals that this competitive edge can, for the most part, be explained by a higher socioeconomic background. In the labor market, migrants cannot compensate for their educational disadvantage and have poorer labor market outcomes than natives. The results of this study stress the importance of an early educational integration of migrants for a successful labor market integration in the long run.

Vice President Kamala Harris has faced intense backlash for her Memorial Day tweet on Saturday where she posted a candid image of herself and wrote: 'Enjoy the long weekend.'
Critics were quick to point out that her tweet appeared self-serving and made no mention of the federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May honoring soldiers who died while serving in the military.
The tweet was slammed as 'disgusting' and 'tone deaf.'
The post also came hours after she tweeted praising Midshipman Sydney Barber who made history as the first black woman to serve as Brigade Commander at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Harris also spoke at the U.S. Naval Academy's graduation and commissioning ceremony on Friday during which she called the United States military 'the best, the bravest, and the most brilliant.'
Vice President Kamala Harris was excoriated on Twitter for posting a candid photo of herself smiling with the caption: 'Enjoy the long weekend', without mentioning Memorial Day or that it's purpose is to honor those who died while serving in the Military

The Aesthetics of Shadow
Lighting and Japanese Cinema
Book Pages: 400 Illustrations: 64 illustrations Published: March 2013
Author: Daisuke Miyao
Asian Studies > East Asia, Media Studies > Film
In this revealing study, Daisuke Miyao explores "the aesthetics of shadow" in Japanese cinema in the first half of the twentieth century. This term, coined by the production designer Yoshino Nobutaka, refers to the perception that shadows add depth and mystery. Miyao analyzes how this notion became naturalized as the representation of beauty in Japanese films, situating Japanese cinema within transnational film history. He examines the significant roles lighting played in distinguishing the styles of Japanese film from American and European film and the ways that lighting facilitated the formulation of a coherent new Japanese cultural tradition. Miyao discusses the influences of Hollywood and German cinema alongside Japanese Kabuki theater lighting traditions and the emergence of neon commercial lighting during this period. He argues that lighting technology in cinema had been structured by the conflicts of modernity in Japan, including capitalist transitions in the film industry, the articulation of Japanese cultural and national identity, and increased subjectivity for individuals. By focusing on the understudied element of film lighting and treating cinematographers and lighting designers as essential collaborators in moviemaking, Miyao offers a rereading of Japanese film history.
"Film-history texts can often be dull, lack real insight beyond a litany of factual information, and plod along to foregone conclusions, structured as simply a lecture, where content overrides form. Daisuke Miyao's The Aesthetics of Shadow: Lighting and Japanese Cinema isn't only an exception to these rules, but establishes a benchmark for which contemporary film-history research should aim…[H]e achieves this, at least in part, by structuring his scholarship as more of a thriller, than merely the standard (and soporific) fact-upon-fact approach." — Clayton Dillard, Slant Magazine
"The book is grounded by exhaustive research; Miyao captures the debates surrounding shifts in lighting trends impeccably, … [it has an] interdisciplinary applicability to the fields of film, cultural studies and art history. The work articulates such a detailed understanding of cinematography and lighting practices that it would also be of great interest to cinematographers and related film practitioners." — Jessica Balanzategui, Media International Australia
"In conclusion, the central thesis of this book problematizes much of what has been published in English on early Japanese cinema to date. As such, the work is a welcome addition to existing studies by Joanne Bernardi, Mitsuyo Wada-Marciano, and Aaron Gerow." — Isolde Standish, Journal of Japanese Studies
"This is a solid work, creating an insightful and persuasive argument for the relationship between a particular aesthetic and a particular ideological environment." — Timothy Iles, Pacific Affairs
"[Miyao] provides an... abundance of detail, but the overall approach is revelatory, culminating in a chapter about Japan's most celebrated cinematographer, Miyagawa Kazuo..." — Jasper Sharp, Sight & Sound
"Miyao's approach of paying near obsessive attention to the technological aspects of filmmaking allows him to offer a reinterpretation of Japanese film history that is of concern not only to devoted specialists. In fact, it allows him to unveil the very process of aesthetic change." — Mats Karlsson, Asian Studies Review
"The Aesthetics of Shadow is an important contribution to the scholarship on cinema and modernity in Japan.... Anyone with a basic knowledge of Japanese film history will find the book accessible, but specialists in particular will welcome this study as an important and comprehensive new reference, especially as it pertains to Shochiku and Toho." — Diane Wei Lewis, Monumenta Nipponica
"The Aesthetics of Shadow is sophisticated and superbly researched, breaking new ground with the richness of its historical detail. Daisuke Miyao's innovative approach opens up the field beyond the usual focus on genre, stars, and key authors. It will serve as an example for the writing of histories outside of Japanese cinema." — Frances Guerin, author of A Culture of Light: Cinema and Technology in 1920s Germany
"The Aesthetics of Shadow tracks through Japanese film history with an eye on the cultural and technological underpinnings of aesthetic change. Many people have written on the aesthetic transformations of Japanese film in the first half of the twentieth century, but no one has done it with such close attention to the material basis of cinema. It is a refreshingly new approach to Japanese history. Daisuke Miyao delivers a lively and fascinating account of cinematography in the first half century of Japanese cinema." — Abé Mark Nornes, author of Forest of Pressure: Ogawa Shinsuke and Postwar Japanese Documentary
Daisuke Miyao is Associate Professor of Japanese Film/Cinema Studies at the University of Oregon. He is the author of Sessue Hayakawa: Silent Cinema and Transnational Stardom, also published by Duke University Press.

We couldn't be happier! Carrie Underwood has officially become the most winning artist in CMT Music Awards history, an honor which she calls "crazy."
The 36-year-old singer won big at this year's ceremony on Wednesday. She took home the Female Video award for "Love Wins," as well as Video of the Year for "Cry Pretty." This brings her to 20 wins total over her career, making her the most decorated artist since the awards began.

"My husband was like, 'Oh my gosh, your fans like to vote,'" she tells Entertainment Tonight backstage at the ceremony in Nashville, "and I was like, 'Well, that's how I'm here in the first place. They've been voting for me since day one. Since I was on American Idol. So they know the drill."
Underwood began her career on the fourth season of American Idol. After winning the high-stakes singing competition, she hit the ground running. In the 14 years since her victory, she's become arguably the most successful alum in the show's history, producing a great number of hits and cementing herself as country royalty.

"I constantly have people telling me they voted for me on Idol, and that was 14 years ago," she says. "So now there's people that are like, 'Ever since I was a little kid, I would vote for you.' I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, have I been doing this for that long?' But it's just really cool that they're still supporting me after all these years."
With all of the awards excitement this week, Underwood unfortunately missed out on a significant event in her husband Mike Fisher's birthday. With the havoc now died down, she's planned an extra special surprise for the hockey player in lieu of not being able to celebrate.
"I worked hard on it," she says. "It's not a crafts thing, but it took many man-hours."

When I'm short on time and need to pull together a dinner party dessert, I often default to a fruit crisp. Homey and casual, topped with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream, warm and fragrant and juicy - that's my favorite kind of dessert.
My fruit crisp is more a formula than a recipe. Use fruit that's in season: stone fruit in the summer, apples or pears in the fall and winter, berries and rhubarb in the spring. Don't bother with peeling. Toss the chopped fruit with some sugar and a little flour - the sugar draws out the juices and the flour will thicken everything up while the fruit crisp bakes.
For the topping, mix together quick-cooking oatmeal, chopped nuts, flour, brown sugar and a good pinch of salt. Then, depending on what kind of fruit you're using, add your aromatics: cinnamon and nutmeg for apples, lemon and orange zest for berries, maybe Chinese five-spice powder and white pepper for plums. Don't be afraid to experiment.
Cut in some butter - okay, a good deal of butter - and rub the whole thing together with your fingers until it's clumpy. Scatter and bake. When the fruit is bubbly and running over the sides of the dish, the topping is brown, and the whole house smells like butter, it's done.
One tip: Let the molten lava cool a few minutes before serving. You don't want to burn yourself. And you want to give the ice cream a fighting chance.
I made two of these plum apple crisps. One we ate on the first night of Rosh Hashanah. The other I took to my office, where it lasted less than an hour despite the fact that I called no attention to its existence whatsoever. It was found and suitably demolished. Which made me very happy.
Make this homespun dessert with the last plums and first apples of the season. If you don't like almonds, try walnuts or pecans instead. This recipe is very flexible - don't worry about measuring or weighing precisely.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large pie plate or 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.Chop the plums into 2-inch chunks and put in a large mixing bowl. Grate or shred the apples into the bowl - I use a hand-held grater, but a food processor works fine too. Add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup flour and toss with the fruit. Let sit about 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.In another bowl, stir together the oats, almonds, brown sugar, remaining 1 cup flour, salt and cinnamon. Cut the butter into small cubes and mix them into the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, pinch and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it is well distributed - the mixture will look pebbly.Pour the fruit and any juices that have accumulated into the baking dish. Spread the topping mixture evenly on top and pat it down lightly. Bake about 45 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is browned and fragrant. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.
This is perfect for a dinner party dessert. It looks scrumptious! Perfect combination with apples and plums.
You know the butter really doesn't count because the oats and fruit cancel it out? doesn't it?
Mari and Rocky - thank you so much for coming over and commenting on my blog. You both make me smile and laugh!
Yes this is realy delicious, this desert always does it.
I love apple crisps! Inspired Rosh Hashanah dessert.
Simple to prepare and delish!!! Was a big hit with my family. We ate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

A New Way of Life Reentry Project
A New Way of Life Reentry Project is a South Los Angeles-based organization that offers housing and legal services for formerly incarcerated women, facilitates healing and family reunification, and advocates more meaningful criminal justice reform.
"Linking Promise with Opportunity"
A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL) was founded in 1998 when Executive Director Susan Burton opened a three-bedroom safe house in the South Los Angeles community of Watts. One year before the founding, Ms. Burton had returned from her sixth prison term and admitted herself to a substance abuse treatment facility in Santa Monica. This experience inspired her to found ANWOL. Her vision was to help provide other women with the same pivotal resources that she had received in Santa Monica but which were inaccessible in her Watts community. What began as a three-bedroom safe house has developed into a nationally acclaimed organization complete with wraparound services and powerful grassroots organizing efforts.
Today, more than 1,000 women and children have benefitted from ANWOL's housing, treatments, and other support services. In 2007, ANWOL established its pro bono legal service department, which has since expunged thousands of criminal records and reduced critical barriers to employment for previously incarcerated women. In addition to meeting the needs of individual community members and families, ANWOL engages in voter outreach to expand civic engagement and advocates policy change at the state and local levels.

I'm an actor and I've worked in Chicago, New York, & LA for the past ten years. I enjoyed marketing my own shows, which led to designing materials for others. I understand my client's passion for their projects and need to control their site updates.
Your website needs to be an extension of your art; charismatic and engaging, bringing emotion, humor, color and personality to the forefront. Clarity leads to simplicity which leads to impact. Each site comes with a mobile-friendly version as well.
Websites help people trust you. When someone meets you at a party, audition, or the grocery store, let's say you are awesome and they are intrigued. Giving them a place to see your hard work and talent is a kind way to help them help you. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to feel right in the present. It will evolve.
I alter existing templates instead of building sites from scratch. Instead of writing HTML code, I'm a drag-and-drop website builder. I keep it simple so it's easy for you to learn to make updates. The end result is welcoming, easy-to-navigate, and very "you". I also work with film, print, audio, and online social networks. I collaborate with my clients in a fun, open, yet organized atmosphere, so our ideas can come to life freely. Take a peek around for more details.

How the Government Is Leveraging Data to Verify Identities
Several members of the Identity and Fraud Solutions team recently attended the Global Identity Summit in Tampa. Rich Huffman, vice president of identity and fraud product management, spoke on a panel about how government entities are leveraging data when verifying identities to increase security and decrease fraud.
The federal government identifies millions of people every day for many reasons. For instance, last year, 14 million people applied for and received passports. In addition, the government has to confirm the identities of the millions of people who receive Medicare and Social Security benefits before distributing resources to them.
The panel, including Ryan Fox of CapitalOne and Helen Schmitz of Homeland Security, discussed how government programs, faced with ever growing fraud risks, are employing best practices in identity proofing to verify people and to ensure the person is eligible for the program in question. Here are some of the steps the panel recommended to do just that.
As the government reviews an online application, the most important step is to determine the person is, indeed, "real", and who they claim to be.
When evaluating the identity of a person, the first step is looking at identity elements (name, address, SSN, DOB, etc.) to confirm that an identity corresponds with a real human. Additional steps, such as questions about "what you know" or information about "what you have" should be posed in a way that can help uncover potential identity theft. Once the identity has been confirmed, the government entity in play must make sure the person qualifies for the program or benefit for which they are applying. This may include looking at household demographics, employment, undisclosed liabilities from the applicant, and criminal background.
Identify Correctly
The best way to confirm identity is to compare the information given in an application to existing, established data. Data coming from multiple sources can be conflicting, so best practice will link all this information back to already confirmed data about the person. After validating the data and evaluating its trustworthiness when coming from a remote device, the next step is incorporating background analytics like user behavior patterns, velocity checks, and potentially device recognition to help identify the potential for fraud.

On the off chance that you think your Android telephone or iPhone is costly now, simply pause. Foldable telephones like the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, and 5G-prepared gadgets, similar to the Galaxy S10 5G and bounty more, will before long push telephone costs well over the $1,000 mark that is turned into the roof for premium telephones. All that is going to change.
Samsung's foldable Galaxy Fold begins at $1,980 (generally £1,500 or AU$2,800) for the 4G variant, a value that Samsung legitimizes by righteousness of its foldable telephone being an extravagance gadget that is additionally a genuine telephone tablet cross breed. (Samsung hasn't flaunted the Fold face to face yet, aside from an introduction piece behind glass.) The organization hasn't declared valuing for both of its 5G items, the Galaxy Fold 5G going marked down April 26, or the Galaxy S10 5G that is normal later this late spring.
In the interim, Huawei's foldable telephone, the Mate X, will cost purchasers 2,300 euros, or generally $2,600. That is high for a telephone swathed in cowhide and sapphire precious stone, and extraordinary for one made of plastic. Huawei, as well, positions the foldable Mate X in this new class of half and half gadgets.
Indeed, even 4G "piece of candy"- formed telephones in 2019 that don't twist and don't have 5G are seeing value expansion. The Galaxy S10 ($900) costs 20 percent more than the middle cost of the Galaxy S9 ($850). Similarly, the monetary allowance disapproved Motorola G7 ($299) rose 20 percent from the Moto G6 ($249). Indeed, even the OnePlus 6T crawled up 3.8 percent from the OnePlus 6 ($529) through the span of four months.
Also, that is for the beginning models. Level up your capacity limit and telephones become all the more exorbitant still. For instance, on the off chance that you need an iPhone XS ($1,000) with 512GB capacity limit, you'll pay 35 percent more ($1,349).
While there are sure conditions bumping costs higher, this triumvirate of increasing expenses is making most telephones violently costly in 2019. New innovations and plans like foldable screens and 5G speeds are pushing costs higher for the sake of progression, however they are additionally situating brands to make a ultra-top of the line portion that can make every deal progressively beneficial. That is imperative in an atmosphere where telephone deals are abating, and individuals clutch their gadgets for a long time or more.
The way that individuals purchase progressively exorbitant handsets in the best level underscores the wireless' significance as an everything-gadget for correspondence, work, photography and diversion. Also, as preparing power, camera innovation, battery life and web information speeds improve a great many generations, the esteem individuals connect to a telephone is certain to swell.
"Buyers are set up to pay a premium for a cell phone since it is apparently the most vital item in their lives," said Ben Wood, the central research expert at CCS Insight.
The information from 13 telephone models from 2016 to 2019 demonstrates an example of sharp value climbs that we hope to uplift in 2019 and past (see outline beneath).
Rising costs aren't unordinary all alone. Quicker, better parts like processors and duplicating cameras cost more to make. The budgetary heap of inquiring about and growing new materials additionally gets collapsed into the last item.
Also, swelling influences the expense of products outside of tech, as well. Be that as it may, R&D spending and swelling don't recount the whole story your telephone's crawling cost.

For the last few years marriage equality has been one of the major rallying points for activists from the LGBTI community. Yet the push for equality marriage is not supported by all of the community, and the voices of those who disagree with it are often drowned in the clamour for equal rights.
Mark Woodman is one such dissenter. A long time contributor to the LGBTI community, which has included a stint as GLCS Chairperson and several appearances as a panellists at community debating events, Mark spoke at length to OUTinPerth about why he does not support the current marriage equality movement.
'It's not that I don't support same-sex marriage, but that I don't support marriage and you know my objection is to what is an outdated cultural condition that's allied to nonsense stone-age religions that are homophobic, sexist and so on. As a means of recognising intimate relationships, it fails fifty percent of the time – it's irrelevant to modern relationships and families, it's blinded to the realities and vagaries of human nature it doesn't actually fit nicely to who we are as people and our frailties and our needs very well.
I think, when unfortunately the LGBT community pushes to get it, if anything we're at risk of validating an institution that should be eradicated and replaced with something better. So I'm all for equal relationship recognition but I think the way we achieve that is to do away with marriage altogether and have civil partnerships for everybody regardless of gender and sexuality. It would be intellectually inconsistent and I think unprincipled to be anti-marriage and to demand that for me, allegedly in the name of equality. That's my broad first principle, and then I have a range of other issues that relate to the way it's been used by a subsection of the gay community.
'It has become what I'd call an obsession by probably a small number of elite members of the community and it's really taken over the LGBT agenda in terms of activism and rights – to the extent that I think it has it's become resources sapping and a distraction. It's something that's not particularly important, it's marginal and I'd say, if anything, it could be harmful because if it happens it will further entrench marriage as an institution and prevent the development of more evolved and modern ways to recognise relationships.
'It's resource sapping – we're a small community with only a very small number of individuals, really, who are politically active. All you ever hear about is 'gayrriage', gayrriage this, gayrriage that.Meanwhile, in WA we have schools that are toxic environments to our children, which are rife with homophobia and bullying. You know, it's 2012 and we haven't sorted that out – we can't. We've got trans issues that are problematic. We've got a lot of really important areas where activism could be focussed where it has a very direct impact on homophobia.
'They say if we get this sorted that will be it that it will have some magic trickle-down effect that will resolve all of these other examples of bigotry and discrimination – well that's absolute nonsense. If you've got someone… who is an experienced activist within our community actually saying that, I think that says that the gay marriage thing has become a slightly delusional system within our community. That someone can really seriously write 'once we've got this ticked off we'll be there', it's nonsense – it won't have that trickle-down effect. Not only that, but at the same time as people are pushing for it we're sapping resources from direct action programs that target where discrimination occurs.
'The other thing that's irritating I suppose about it is that it has become this orthodoxy within the community. Dissenting voices are not allowed, it's just assumed that if you're gay you're for it, as it's clearly a human right – which it's not. The right is to have our relationship recognised equally by the State; the right is not to marriage. Just as a human right is to have freedom from hunger, it doesn't mean we all have to eat McDonald's.
'Even though the universal declaration [of Human Rights] mentions 'marriage' it's because it was written by the Americans in the 1950's – it should say equal recognition of relationships by the State. There are many ways to do that – we know that in Australia we are very fortunate, we actually have common law marriage, so we know that our rights are 99 percent there in that respect. Many people who I've spoken to who are very actively and uncritically supporting gay marriage in our community don't even seem to be aware that they effectively are married – there are rights and responsibilities they have under law. That's one interesting irony of this. Certainly that orthodoxy issue is very irritating for me. For a community that's supposed to be open minded and diverse you're absolutely cut down if you dare suggest that this is the case.
'Of course you get that line 'Oh you may not want marriage but why don't you shut up and let us get on with getting it for ourselves?' Now this is crucial, I think, because it is predicated on the assumption that obtaining marriage rights for gay people will be harmless, that it can only be positive and I think that is a view that is not discussed enough – because I see some clear harms here.
'The jeopardy and harm is that it will further entrench marriage as the primary privileged form of relationship recognition and that prevent what we need to do in the community in my view for everybody, which is; to have more adaptive and flexible means of legal recognition of intimate relationships that minimise the role of the state and maximise the flexibility, so that people of varying kinds and characters can have effective relationships that last and are well supported by the State.
