Christian groups oppose broadening marriage rights
Wednesday, 15 November 2000, 9:35 am
Article: Dave Crampton
Christian groups in New Zealand have vowed to fight government plans to recognize gay and lesbian relationships and grant same-sex couples the same rights as married couples.
Should the government legalize same-sex marriage, complete with divorce and adoption rights, New Zealand would be the third country to do so. Denmark allowed homosexual marriages in 1989, and the Netherlands passed similar legislation in September.
Same-sex marriage is an equally divisive topic in the United States, where voters in 35 states have approved legislation defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman only. Some of those states also refuse to recognize same-sex relationships made legal by court order and subsequent legislative action in Vermont earlier this year and by the Hawaii legislature in 1997.
New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark favors legal recognition of gay couples, despite significant opposition in public submission to a government discussion paper. Clark says recognition could happen within a year, but laws governing the division of property could be passed as early as next month.
A Parliamentary Select Committee decided to push through the Property (Relationships) Bill, which would give the same property rights as married couples to gay and de facto couples after three years together. The bill is likely to become effective in February 2002.
More than 130,000 couples, including 1,600 gay couples, would be affected but could sign "opt-out" agreements to avoid property splits.
A parliamentary report released earlier this month indicated that many New Zealand residents support the proposals despite concerns raised by 1,631 public submissions. Justice Ministry officials said it could not find any other country that included married, de facto, and same-sex couples in one law.
New Zealand lawyers oppose the proposed property law changes and have been advising couples on the changes to keep their assets separate.
Associate Justice Minister Margaret Wilson has said the new law is "sensible, fair, liberal, and humane," but many Christian groups disagree. The Christian Heritage Political Party (CHP) opposed property law reforms and will oppose any attempts to reform marriage laws.
"Children have the right to be parented by both a mother and a father," Christian Heritage leader the Reverend Graham Capill told Newsroom. "They need the input of a male and a female. If the government tries to bring in legislation for homosexual marriage or the adoption of children, we will create quite a campaign."
The CHP was among 8,464 organizations and individuals that responded to a Ministry of Justice discussion paper, "Same Sex Couples and the Law," released to gauge feelings on the issue of gay unions. The New Zealand government asked the ministry to prepare the 16-question paper to assess the consistency between the Human Rights Act and other laws that treat same-sex couples differently from traditional marriages. The discussion paper followed a 1998 Court of Appeal decision prohibiting same-sex couples from legally marrying under New Zealand's gender-neutral 1955 Marriage Act.
The Justice Ministry received 3,546 responses representing the views of 8,464 organizations and individuals, with religious groups making up the bulk of groups that responded. Eighty percent of the respondents rejected assertions that same-sex couples should marry, while 82 percent said same-sex couples should not be allowed to adopt. Many asserted that the government was wrong to decriminalize homosexuality when the 1986 Homosexual Law Reform Bill was passed.
The report summarizing responses was completed in July but has only recently been released. Many respondents consider marriage a moral and religious institution, rather than a secular one. Others view the current refusal to allow same-sex marriage and subsequent legal protections as a breach of human rights. Under the 1993 Human Rights Act, discrimination on the grounds of homosexuality and religion is prohibited. The act, however, does not supersede other legislation. It defines homosexuality, but not religion.
Clark, who said she had not read the submissions, dismissed the comments as not reflective of public opinion.
But Capill accused the Coalition Labour Government of selective listening on moral matters: "If the result had been the other way around you can bet your bottom dollar that Helen Clark would say, 'Here's a mandate to change legislation.' Labour is trying to have their cake and eat it, too."
Marriage between a man and a woman is the appropriate environment for child-rearing, Capill insisted. He did not disagree that gay couples can have stable, long-lasting relationships. But he shares the opinion of the New Zealand's Catholic Bishops Conference that such relationships are not the basis for legal entitlements. The Catholic church teaches that homosexual behavior is morally wrong. New Zealand's bishops object to registration of same-sex couples, but support legislation that protects human rights, including property rights.
The New Zealand Law Commission supports registration of same-sex couples. But Commissioner D.F. Dugdale contends that same-sex marriages would offend many people. "Gays and lesbians should be prepared to acknowledge that they are not harmed by a legal code designed to avoid giving what may be seen as a gratuitous offense to those for whom matrimony is a holy estate," he said in a submission to the ministry.
Gay Christian groups disagree. GalaXies Incorporated (Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Christian community), based in Wellington, believes that same-sex couples should have the same legal privileges as heterosexual couples in regard to marriage, including access rights upon the death of a partner.
The New Zealand Human Rights Commission backs reforms to secure legal rights for gay couples. People in same-sex relationships are second-class citizens with respect to the most important aspect of their personal lives, the commission maintains. Any reform should allow them to choose a legal status which is in all respects the same as that attaching to marriage, the commission contends.
But that does not necessarily mean access to marriage law, maintains Nigel Christie, a legal adviser to New Zealand's gay community. A prominent supporter of gay rights in New Zealand and a member of at least six homosexual groups, Christie notes a recent decision of a New Zealand High Court judge defining marriage as a fundamental civil right covering public and secular areas, rather than spiritual affairs. On the basis of equality under New Zealand's domestic Human Rights law, Christie maintains that same-sex couples have the right to marry.
Wellington Christian Apologetics Society director David Lane calls that right an attack on the Christian faith. He is appalled at calls to redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, arguing that any moral aspect cannot be ignored. "[Marriage] is about giving legal preference to a unique relationship between a man and a woman because of what that relationship does for social order," he said. "To call a same-sex relationship 'marriage' is an inversion of the very term."
Clark indicated that the introduction of any bill redefining marriage laws would be subject to a conscience vote after a Parliamentary Select Committee hearing. A conscience vote is one in which a political party does not direct its members about how to vote but leaves the vote to the individual member's conscience.
Lane concedes that homosexuality is no worse a sin than promiscuity or adultery but says the family is "the cornerstone of society" and must be preserved in law.

Sometimes your gear can make our break your travels. Here are a few of the things I've found that make my travels more successful.
Merrell Women's Siren Sport Gore-Tex XCR – I LOVE these shoes. They have taken me all over Europe and back with no problems. My current pair is three years old and still going strong. Initially I was unsure about them. I ordered them a half-size larger than what I normally where and they still felt uncomfortably snug. I switched to a much thinner insoles just to break them in, and when they were broken in they were heavenly. My feet have never hurt after a day spent walking in these shoes.
Keen Newport H2 – This is a great all around summer shoe, I've had mine for going on 5 years now and they have held up great. They are casual, and work with shorts or pants.
Keen Rose Sandal – This is a more recent purchase, I was looking for something that I could also wear with skirts and dresses that would still allow me to put in some long days on my feet. So far, these work great.
Keen Kanga Ballerina – This was another recent purchase, another summer shoe to pair with dresses and skirts. I would probably not wear this one if I were out walking all day, but it's held up nicely on shorter walks to and from town.
Travelon Bags: I have two Travelon purses, the Signature Cross-Body Bag and the Signature Messenger Bag. Because I am usually walking with two kids and a camera, I prefer cross-body bags, which allow me more freedom of movement. Travelon offers a wide assortment of travel-safe bags, all with anti-theft features. They are sturdy bags, and I find them comfortable to carry.
Victorinox Travel Organizer – As the designated carrier of the passports, I was looking for something I could keep all of the family passports in – no easy task when you are a family of four with 7 passports! This organizer has just enough space to fit all of our passports. For an individual traveler, or a family without the extra passports, it's perfect. As we expanded our collection of passports, this proved to small for the entire family, so I improvised my own.
Kindle: I was on the fence about an e-book reader, but I was very happy to have this when we moved overseas. Not only does this make it easier to access books in your native language, but I was able to use it to send and receive email before we had our phone and internet set up. It also enabled me to have a German-English dictionary on hand at all times.
Nikon D60 – My camera is now several years old, but I am happy with it. Once I read the instructions, it was very easy to operate.
Panasonic Lumix – While I really like my Digital SLR, there are times I need to have something smaller in my pocket. This is a decent little camera. What I really like about it is that it is made for adventures, it's dust proof, water-resistant, and drop proof. I've definitely put it to the test and it's holding up fine.
Black Rapid Woman's Camera Strap – I read about this strap here and new I had to try it. I find this cross body sling much more comfortable to wear than the around the neck strap that came with my camera.
Being prepared for anything is the key to successful travel with kids!
Both kids have a backpack just for traveling we use the Camelbak Scout, but anything will do. They carry their own water, their own snacks, and their own toys. This really cuts down on what they think they need to have with them for a day trip!
When the kids were younger, I filled a pencil box with small toys that they only played with at restaurants. I saved all of the tiny toys that they accumulated for this purpose.
Now that the kids are older, they always have a notebook and colored pencils or crayons so they can write and draw about their adventures while they wait.
We usually have a card game or two for restaurants as well. Our current favorites are: Piktureka – a fast paced game that tests your powers of observation, Brain Box – these memory games are great, and the kids have a lot of fun with them, and UNO Jr.
Another thing I always keep in my purse is a small set of dice. If all else fails, we can grab a blank sheet of paper and play a game of shut the box.
We used to watch movies on long trips, then I discovered kids audio books. The kids don't miss the movies at all and ask for the books whenever we are in the car. Our favorites are the Magic Tree House series, read by the author. You can buy them and many others on ITunes.

Three Rockford Christian athletes sign with DI programs
Adam Kradle
akradle@rrstar.com
ROCKFORD — Three Rockford Christian seniors signed national letters of intent Monday, and each of them will continue their sports careers at the Division I college level.
Three-time state tennis qualifier Brandon Ancona is headed to Valparaiso. Ancona, who won his first sectional title and advanced to the Round of 16 at state as a junior, said he had offers from Big East programs, but his final decision came down to Liberty University in Virginia and the Crusaders. He opted to stay closer to home.
"Valparaiso had a lot to offer," Ancona said. "They really focus on improving their players. They bring in freshman and you really can see the growth. You see them come in what they're ranked and after just one year they develop so much."
Nick Monkemeyer signed with Creghton after helping lead Rockford Christian's cross country team to its first state berth in Class 2A this past season. Monkemeyer took fourth individually as a junior when the Royal Lions placed third as a team in 1A.
"I was looking at a lot of schools big and small, but Creighton University really made me feel like I was going to be well cared for," Monkemeyer siad. "I had such a great experience in a small Christian environment at Rockford Christian that I wanted to continue that in college. But I still wanted to get the big school Division I athletic feel."
State qualifying high-jumper Brady Irwin will join the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where his sister is enrolled.
Irwin placed 13th in the high jump as a junior with a personal-best leap of 6 feet, 5 inches. Before he competes for the Panthers, Irwin will try to top himself in his senior season.
"I'm hoping to get 6-8 my senior year, but we'll see." he said.

Q: Including OpenGL java code in Android project I have 2 java classes, photocube.java and MyGLRenderer.java using OpenGL ES.
When I started ADT New project, I got this MainActivity.java already present which just gives Hello World output window.
How and where should I include these two files of mine to get my Android app working?

A: If one of your files describes an activity which you want to launch instead of the default MainActivity then delete the MainActivity.java, rename your file to MainActivity.java and put it where the old one was and then rebuild.
