SAME-SEX COUPLES IN AUSTRALIA, 2016
Australian families are characterised by increasing diversity - including a rise in the number of same-sex couple families.1 The Census of Population and Housing captures information on same-sex couples based on responses to the relationship and sex questions on the Census form. Counts of same-sex couples living together in the same household have been compiled since the 1996 Census.
The Census tells us how many same-sex couples live together, as well as the information about characteristics of people in same-sex couple relationships, such as their age, education, income levels and cultural diversity. However, there are some limitations associated with same-sex couple data from the Census that need to be considered:
The Census only measures relationships in each household, which means we don't count those relationships which extend beyond the household. This applies to both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
Counts of same-sex couples were obtained from responses to the 'relationship in household' question on the Census form. Therefore, only same-sex couples who were living together were counted.
Information on people's sexual orientation was not collected in the 2016 Census. In 2014, people aged 18 years and over were asked about their sexual orientation in the ABS General Social Survey, 2014 (cat. no. 4159.0).
Some sex or gender diverse people may not be represented in the data on same-sex couples. The 2016 Census had special procedures for reporting sex or gender diversity and these results have been reported elsewhere in Sex and Gender Diversity in the 2016 Census. However, due to its experimental nature, this information was not used to classify a couple as same-sex or opposite-sex.
Reporting of a same-sex relationship might also be influenced by willingness or opportunity to report as a same-sex couple.
NUMBER OF SAME-SEX COUPLES LIVING TOGETHER
The 2016 Census counted just under 46,800 same-sex couples living together in Australia. This represents a 39% increase since the 2011 Census, which counted 33,700 same-sex couples. Data on same-sex couples first became available in 1996. In the 20 years to 2016, the reported number of same-sex couples has more than quadrupled.
The increase in the reported number of same-sex couples may in part reflect greater willingness by people to identify themselves as being in a same-sex relationship and an improvement over the last 20 years in the rights of same-sex couples.2 Younger people accounted for almost all of the increase in the number of same-sex couples between the 2011 and 2016 Censuses. Half (51%) of the increase was for the cohort aged 20-29 years in 2016, with an additional 35% of the increase in the cohort aged 30-39 years in 2016.
Footnote(s): (a) For the 2011 Census, age has been adjusted so that it is the expected age at the time of the 2016 Census, to enable comparisons of the same age cohort between Censuses. See Explanatory Information at the end of this article.

In 2016, there were 23,700 male same-sex couples and 23,000 female same-sex couples. The pattern of more male than female same-sex couples has been consistent since 1996, although the degree of difference has decreased in each Census.
Same-sex couples accounted for 0.9% of all couples in Australia, up from 0.7% in 2011.

WHERE DO SAME-SEX COUPLES LIVE?
In 2016, same-sex couples accounted for 1.4% of all couples in the Australian Capital Territory, the highest proportion of any state or territory. The next highest proportions were in New South Wales and Victoria, where same-sex couples accounted for 1.0% of couples. Almost two-thirds (63%) of same-sex couples lived in New South Wales or Victoria, compared to 57% of all couples.

Same-sex couples were more likely to live in capital cities than outside capital cities. Same-sex couples accounted for 1.1 % of all couples in the capital cities, compared with 0.6% of all couples in the balance of the States and Territories.
The proportion of same-sex couples was highest in Canberra and Sydney (1.4% and 1.2 % respectively) and lowest in Adelaide and Perth (both 0.8%).
Both male and female same-sex couples tended to live in inner-city suburbs of capital cities. The top ten suburbs for male same-sex couples were all in inner Sydney. Female same-sex couples tended to be more geographically dispersed and less concentrated than male same-sex couples. While seven of the top ten suburbs for female same-sex couples were in inner Sydney, suburbs from Newcastle, Port Adelaide and a small town in Victoria rounded out the top 10.

AGE OF PARTNERS IN SAME-SEX COUPLES
People in same-sex couples tended to be younger than people in opposite-sex couples. The median age of people in same-sex couples was 40 years compared with 48 years for people in opposite-sex couples.
In 2016, almost three quarters (73%) of people in same-sex couples were aged less than 50 years old, compared with 53% of people in opposite-sex couples. Only 5.3% of people in same-sex couples were aged 65 or more, compared with 20% of people in opposite-sex couples. The difference in the reported number of same-sex couples in older age groups may in part reflect the willingness of people aged 65 years or over to identify themselves as being in a same-sex relationship.
AGE OF PARTNERS IN COUPLES BY SEX, 2016
Since 1996, the populations of both opposite-sex and same-sex partners have aged; and so too has the whole Australian population. The proportion of partners in same-sex couples aged 50 years and over increased from 9.2% in 1996 to 27% in 2016 (compared with the general population, increasing from 26% to 34%). This increase may reflect people's increased willingness to disclose their sexual or gender identity, coupled with improved legal rights for same-sex couples and the ageing of the 'baby boomer' population.3
AGE OF PARTNERS IN SAME-SEX COUPLES BY SEX, 1996 and 2016
Age differences between partners
Same-sex couples tended to have a greater age gap between partners than opposite-sex relationships. There was an age difference of more than 10 years between partners in 25% of male same-sex couples and 14% of female same-sex couples, compared with only 8% of opposite-sex couples.

RELATIONSHIP REPORTED
Consistent with 2011, almost all same-sex couples described themselves as de facto partners (93%). However, there has been an increase in the reporting of same-sex marriage. Between 2011 and 2016, the number of same-sex couples who reported that they were married more than doubled.

Relationship reported as Husband or Wife
Total same-sex couples
The reasons why people in Australia might report that they are the husband or wife of someone of the same sex cannot be known from Census data. Possible reasons include having been married in a jurisdiction other than Australia; having registered their relationship under state or territory law; having gone through a ceremony; regarding themselves as married; or considering that husband or wife is the term that best describes their relationship.
Like the majority of Australian families (95%), most same-sex couples lived in a single family household (98%).
The proportion of same-sex couple families with children increased from 12% in 2011 to 15% in 2016. As was the case in 2011, female same-sex couples were more likely to have children than male same-sex couples. In 2016, one quarter (25%) of female same-sex couples had children, compared with 4.5% of male same-sex couples. Close to 55% of opposite-sex couples had children.
Same-sex couples with children, on average, had fewer children living with them than opposite-sex couples. Over half of male and female same-sex couples with children had only one child in the family (54% and 51% respectively), while one third had two children. In contrast, opposite-sex couples were less likely to have one child than two children in their family (36% compared with 42%).
In total, there were 10,500 children aged under 25 years living in same-sex couple families in 2016. Of these, 80% were children aged under 15 years of age, 12% were dependent students, and 7.2% were non-dependent children aged 15-24 years. Children in same-sex couple families accounted for 0.2% of all dependent children in families.
The Census does not collect information on people's sexual orientation. Therefore information from the Census does not provide a complete picture of families consisting of lesbians or gay men and their children. Lesbians or gay men who are lone parents are not identified in Census data although they would be included in the total counts of lone parents. Other aspects of parenting such as parents who are not usually resident in the same household as the child are not captured in the Census.

CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
In 2016, about 146,800 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were living with a partner and, of these, 1.2% (about 1,700 people) were living with a partner of the same sex. In comparison, of the 9.5 million non-Indigenous people living with a partner, 0.9% were living with a partner of the same sex. However, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population has a much younger age profile than the non-Indigenous population and if adjustments are made for these age differences, the same proportion of non-Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were partnered with someone of the same sex (0.9%).
People born overseas were less likely to report they were living with a partner of the same sex (0.8%), than people born in Australia (1.0%).
Religious affiliation
People in same-sex couples were most likely to report they had no religion (57%), however, 32% said they were Christian. This was in contrast to people in opposite-sex couples, for whom Christianity was the leading affiliation (59%), followed by not having a religion (28%). This may be partly due to the large number of young people reporting they were in a same-sex relationship and the greater likelihood of younger people reporting no religion.4
The proportion of people in same-sex and opposite-sex couples who had no religion also increased between 2011 and 2016. This figure was up from 48% in 2011 to 57% for people in same-sex couples and up from 21% in 2011 to 28% in 2016 for people in opposite-sex couples.
Same-sex partners were more likely to be affiliated with Buddhism than those in opposite-sex couples (3.9% compared with 2.7%) and less likely to be affiliated with Hinduism (0.5% compared with 2.4%) or Islam (0.7% compared with 2.4%).
Footnote(s): (a) No religion includes secular beliefs (e.g. Atheism) and other spiritual beliefs (e.g. New Age). (b) Other religions include Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and other religions.
Of all partners in couples in 2016, same-sex couples were more likely to be currently studying at a university or tertiary institution (7.6%) than opposite-sex couples (2.9%). Subsequently, people in same-sex couples tended to be more highly educated than people in opposite-sex couples. In 2016, 45% of people in same-sex couples had a Bachelor degree or higher, compared with 29% of people in opposite-sex couples. People in same-sex couples were also more likely to have a postgraduate degree than people in opposite-sex couples (12.4% compared with 6.8%). However, this may be a reflection of the younger age profile of same-sex couples and higher educational attainments of more recent generations compared to older groups.
Footnote(s): (a) Total with qualifications excludes Level of Education not stated.
Same-sex couples were more likely to participate in the labour force and be employed, than opposite-sex couples. This is in part due to the younger age profile of same-sex couples. In 2016, 87% of people in same-sex couples were participating in the labour force (either employed or unemployed), compared with 69% of opposite-sex couples. For those of working age (15-74 years), these figures were 88% and 74% respectively. The percentage employed was 84% for people in same-sex couples, significantly higher than opposite-sex couples (67%).
Male and female partners in same-sex couples participated in the labour force at similar rates (87% and 86%). The proportion of people employed was also similar (84% for male partners and 83% for female partners, in same-sex couples). In contrast, male partners in opposite-sex couples were more likely to participate in the labour force than women (75% and 64%). Similarly, male partners were also more likely to be employed than female partners in opposite-sex couples (72% and 61%).
Over half of employed people in same-sex couples worked as managers or professionals (51%), compared with 40% of people in opposite-sex couples.
In 2016, the most common occupations for men in same-sex couples were Retail manager and Sales assistant, with the next common occupations being Advertising, public relations and sales managers and Registered nurses. Other occupations in the top ten for men in same-sex couples included General clerks, Advertising and marketing professionals, Hairdressers, and Cafe/restaurant managers, while trades such as Electricians, Carpenters and joiners and Motor mechanics were well represented for men in opposite-sex couples.
For women in same-sex couples, the most common occupation was Registered nurse, with the next most common occupations being Sales assistant; Retail manager and Secondary school teacher. Police, Welfare workers and Aged and disabled carers featured in the top ten occupations of women in same-sex couples but not opposite-sex couples, with teaching and clerical occupations being common across both groups.

(a) Occupation data based on 4 digit level.
People in same-sex couple relationships were more likely to have higher personal incomes than those in opposite-sex couple relationships. In 2016, 23% of men in same-sex couples earned $2,000 or more a week, compared with 18% of men in opposite-sex couples. For women, the difference was greater. Women in same-sex couples were twice as likely to be earning $2,000 or more a week as women in opposite-sex couples (14% compared with 6%).
A much higher proportion of women in same-sex relationships earned $2,000 or more a week than women in opposite-sex relationships during the peak income earning years from 30 to 64. This in part reflects the greater likelihood of women in opposite-sex relationships to leave the workforce (either temporarily or permanently) to have children, or the higher average number of children they have compared to same-sex couples. Nearly two-thirds (64%) of opposite-sex couples with children had two or more children living in the family, compared with 49% of female same-sex couples with children.
DWELLING TENURE
In 2016, same-sex couple families were more likely to live in a dwelling that was being rented (39%) than opposite-sex couple families (23%). However, they were less likely to live in a dwelling that was owned outright (16% of same-sex couple families compared to 31% of opposite-sex couple families). This difference can partly be attributed to the younger age profile of same-sex couples, but might also be related to where they live and their housing choices.
Footnote(s): (a) Includes households in occupied private dwellings only. Excludes visitor only and non-classifiable households. (b) Owned with a mortgage includes 'Being rented under a shared equity scheme'. (c) Rented includes 'Being occupied rent free'.
In same-sex couples, unpaid domestic work was more evenly shared between partners. In female same-sex couples, 57% of partners did about the same amount of work, and for male same-sex couples this figure was 56%.
In opposite-sex couples, women tend to do more unpaid work than men. In 2016, women did more unpaid domestic work than men in 54% of opposite-sex couples, compared with 7.3% of couples where men did more domestic work than women, and 39% where partners did the same amount of domestic work.
Footnote(s): (a) Couples in which both partners reported amount of unpaid work within the same range on the Census form.
Source(s): ABS Census of Population and Housing, 2016
Consistent with the more even sharing of household work, men in same-sex couples did slightly more unpaid domestic work than men in opposite-sex couples (52% and 49% respectively did five hours or more per week). Women in same-sex couples did less unpaid work than women in opposite-sex relationships (61% and 78% respectively did five hours or more per week). However, women in same-sex relationships still tended to do more unpaid domestic work than men in same-sex relationships.
EXPLANATORY INFORMATION
All data presented on a Place of Enumeration basis.
This article presents information on the number and characteristics of people in same-sex couple relationships who lived together in the same private dwelling, as reported in the 2016 Census of Population and Housing.
All data in this article relates to people aged 15 years and over.
In this article counts of 'same-sex couples' are counts of the family unit, while counts of 'partners or people in same-sex couples' are counts of individuals. In the Census, partners in couples must be aged 15 years and over.
For definitions of the terms used above, see the Census of Population and Housing: Census Dictionary, 2016 (cat. no. 2901.0). Selected items are also included in the Glossary, from the Explanatory Notes tab at the top of this page. For more information about 2016 Census data release and products, go to www.abs.gov.au/census.
Data contained in this article and further related data can be found in the Downloads tab at the top of the page.
Age cohort analysis was used in the section of this article 'Number of same-sex couples living together'. This analysis enables direct comparison of people within the same age cohort (e.g. 25 years at the time of the 2016 Census). The 2011 Census age was adjusted so that it was the expected age of each person at the time of the 2016 Census (i.e. age at the time of the 2011 Census plus five years). The 2016 Census age was not adjusted.
How are same-sex couples counted in the Census?
All couples and other types of families and households in private dwellings are identified in Census data through answers to questions on each person's relationship to Person 1 on the Census form. The question on whether the person is male or female is also relevant as this will determine whether two people are classified as an opposite-sex or same-sex couple. The Census only measures relationships in each household which means we don't count those relationships which extend beyond the household. This applies to both same-sex and opposite-sex couples.
A separate question on each person's registered marital status is included on the 2016 Census Household Form, but this is not used to classify people into families. This is because people's registered marital status may or may not relate to a person they are living with.
With some exceptions, the Census is filled in by people in the household, not by trained interviewers. Marking an incorrect box in answer to the question on each person's relationship to Person 1 could result in people being incorrectly included or excluded from the count of couples. Marking an incorrect box for the question about the sex of each person could result in couples being incorrectly assigned to either same-sex or opposite-sex couples. Given that there are many more opposite-sex couples than same-sex couples, a small rate of error among opposite-sex couples could have a larger proportional effect on same-sex couple estimates. There are editing procedures to identify and correct such errors wherever possible but it is not possible to identify and eliminate all reporting errors.
In addition, reporting of a same-sex relationship might also be influenced by willingness or opportunity to report as a same-sex couple.
Further information about how data on same-sex couples is collected and derived can be found in the Same-Sex Couple Indicator (SSCF) and Relationship as Reported for Couples (RLCP) chapters in Census of Population and Housing: Understanding the Census and Census Data, Australia (cat.no. 2900.0).

Officer Tried to Use Pepper Spray Before Shooting Man
The man shot by a Montgomery County police officer was combative and the officer tried to use pepper spray on the man before opening fire, according to a police statement released Tuesday.
The officer, two-year veteran Anand Badgujar, shot and killed the man, whom police identified as Robert Lawrence White, 41, of the 300 block of Dearborn Avenue in Silver Spring. Police said Tuesday evening that it didn't appear that White was armed.
The incident occurred about 2:15 p.m. Monday on Three Oaks Drive, not far from Highland View Elementary School and Sligo-Bennington Neighborhood Park.
Montgomery County Police Chief Tom Manger and investigators have reviewed the footage from the officer's body-worn camera as well as spoke to an eyewitness, the statement says. Police also reviewed the footage from the body-worn camera of a second officer who assisted Badgujar, police said.
Badgujar has been placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation continues. He had been assigned to the Patrol Division and worked at the Silver Spring police district station.
Police said the footage, as well as the eyewitness statement, reveal:
White became combative after Badgujar tried to speak with him. White then assaulted Badgujar.
Badgujar tried to use pepper spray on White.
Over the course of the next minute, the officer requested assistance and kept White in his sight.
As White walked on Three Oaks Drive away from the officer, the officer went to his cruiser to turn off the ignition.
At this point White turned around and began approaching the officer. As he got closer, he began running at Badgujar; the officer back-pedaled, and White knocked him down as the officer discharged his weapon.
White fell, got up, stood over the officer who was still on the ground, and continued to assault the officer, at which time the officer fired other rounds. Police were not specific about how Badgujar was assaulted. Capt. Paul Starks said White used his hands and body to assault the officer.
White fell and was secured. Other responding officers provided medical assistance to him until Fire and Rescue personnel arrived.
Once Major Crimes detectives complete this investigation, the Howard County State's Attorney's Office will review their findings to determine whether Badgujar acted within the law and if the circumstances of the case need to be brought before a grand jury. The department, in consultation with the Howard County State's Attorney's Office, will release the video once the criminal case is completed.
The Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office and the Howard County State's Attorney's Office have an agreement that when an officer-involved shooting involving injury or death occurs in one county, the other county's state's attorney's office will review the event.
County Council President Hans Riemer expressed concern about the death of Robert Lawrence White.
"I want to assure the public that all nine councilmembers are paying close attention to the officer-involved shooting that occurred yesterday," Riemer said. "We have requested the body camera footage that is part of the ongoing investigation. Anyone with information regarding this shooting is asked to contact the Major Crimes Division and may remain anonymous."
The council also said the Internal Affairs Division of the police department will conduct a personnel investigation to see if there was any officer misconduct in this case.
Police said the shooting remains an ongoing investigation. As information is confirmed it will be released to the public. Anyone with information regarding this shooting is asked to contact the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5070.

Shameik Moore is now best known for playing Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but did you know that he was almost in Solo: A Star Wars Story? As it turns out, Moore had auditioned to play Lando Calrissian before Donald Glover was cast.
It's interesting that Moore would audition for a part that ultimately went to Donald Glover because Glover had voiced Miles Morales before in the animated Ultimate Spider-Man series. Glover even plays Miles' uncle Aaron Davis in Spider-Man: Homecoming and has a small cameo in Into the Spider-Verse.
When it comes to Star Wars though, it looks like Moore is only more interested in the brand, saying that he's more of a fan of Harry Potter or The Matrix. He says, "I would love to be a part of a huge Star Wars movie simply because of how big Star Wars is as a brand."
Either way, Moore may have dodged a bullet not landing the part of Lando Calrissian. Solo had underperformed when it hits theaters last year, and Spider-Man soared to the top of the box office. With a sequel now in the works for Spider-Verse, I guess we're going to be hearing a lot more from Moore in the future.
No release date has been set for the Into the Spider-Verse sequel.

Crobianity And Feminism In Jackie Kay's Trumpet
It is 1997 in Jackie Kay's Trumpet. While society experiments with various labels for defiers of gender norms, Joss Moody and loved ones defy society. How Kay, in a highly conservative era, dares to discuss gender identity – a topic still controversial nowadays, is undoubtedly the prime reason her novel can captivate readers of all generations until the very last page. Conservative 20th century London is an eventful place. But there has probably never been a tale like the story about Joss Moody – a trans man. Prior to decease, he was a celebrated musician. As the plot gradually unravels, however, so does his biggest secret. Consumed by the late discovery of Joss's sex and gender disagreement, most take his lifelong masculinity as an act of imitation rather than a…show more content…
The wife rejects the label 'lesbians' ﴾by definition 'women having sexual relations'﴿ not for the sake of her own heterosexuality, but simply in regard of her husband's personal identification. Faced with the 'terrible lies' ﴾Kay 277﴿ and cruel scrutiny of the media, Millie views herself as 'the only one who can remember [Joss] the way he wanted to be remembered' ﴾Kay 40﴿, constantly seeking solace from fond memories only she has control over. Colman Moody's perception of his father's identity is another puzzle solved accordingly to the story's progress. Initially ashamed and 'so embarrassed [he] could emigrate' ﴾Kay 48﴿, Colman displayed a rather rude and sulky attitude whenever digging into his early years alongside Joss. Nonetheless, though many have mistreated this mentality as LGBTQ+ prejudice, it is clearly pinpointed by Colman himself that "It's not because I hate gays or anything like that. If my mother had been a lesbian or my father a gay man, I don't think I would have got all het up about it." ﴾Kay 76﴿ The son is deeper affected by the
The Formulas Of Homosexuality In Giovanni's Room
James Baldwin's literary masterpiece, Giovanni's Room, fits the formulas of queer pulp fiction found predominantly in the 1940's to 1970's. Since the topic of homosexuality was then considered taboo and widely unacceptable by the government, publishers were hesitant to back works about the topic, but nonetheless understood the financial potential of cornering the queer market. In order to both corner the queer market and not appear to endorse portrayals of homosexuality, publishing houses began publishing queer fiction, but forced them to conclude tragically. Formulaically, one, or both, of the members of a queer couple would die by the end of the story, and the surviving member of the couple is assumed to return to a heteronormative lifestyle. The death of queer love interests serves a warning about morality that sways the homosexual from acting on their sexual persuasion.
The Great Gatsby Feminist Analysis
"I suppose the latest thing is to sit back and let Mr. Nobody from Nowhere make love to your wife. Well, if that's the idea you can count me out." Tom feels like a victim because "Mr. Nobody" referring to Gatsby, is having an affair with Daisy, even though he takes mistresses himself. A feminist point of view might interpret this as Tom being a hypocrite, because he shows Myrtle off in public, but resents Daisy from being with Gatsby. In the second chapter Tom ends up breaking Myrtle's nose after she shouts "Daisy! Daisy!
Rhetorical Devices In Gold Digger
All the symbolism that he uses illustrates how he feels about a certain subject and you know he truly means it in Gold Digger. Having these aspects in his music, we can dissect it and see that he uses the three main rhetorical values to get his point across. Kanye was a middle-class man when he first got into the music game and that didn 't help him one bit. The other rappers of the time were dominating with gangster rap and Kanye couldn 't get into the scene very easily because he
Gypsy Boy Character Analysis
The family in Gypsy Boy is more disposed to apply violence on the protagonist, the audience do not observe any physical violence from family towards protagonist in Love Is All You Need?. Families are also different in that their responses causes different reactions from protagonists. Mikey, the main character of Gypsy Boy responds by running away and setting up a new life, discovering and accepting his identity. However, Ashley's response (main character of Love Is All You Need?) is denying her identity and with the pressure of the society, she thinks that being homosexual is a burden that she needs to escape.
Thesis Summary Of Bento's Machado De Assis
The author Machado de Assis, tells a story through the narrator (Bento), and foretells the treachery/deceive that occurred in Bento's married life. In addition, Bento was a jealous man since before his marriage, and his jealousy only drove him to believe that his best friend and wife had had an affair; however, Bento never expressed this emotion out in the open just like the Priams did not. Furthermore, out of this affair, as Bento proposed, came a child by the name of Ezequiel, but it was never really confirmed that his wife Capitu had cheated on him with his best friend Escobar. Later in the novel, Escobar passed away, and Bento began to see "similarities" between his son and his dead friend, and truly believed Ezequiel was not his own. Bento's accusations of his son not being his only got stronger after Escobar's death.
Individual Vs. Society In Wayne Johnston's The Son Of A Certain Woman
Although Percy is open about his atheism, he has to remain private about his family's secret, which is his mom and his aunt's lesbian relationship. This kind of relationship violates the societal values of the times, and is even punishable by incarceration. To hide the truth, he must lie and therefore grow into a very deceptive person. Percy's views on religion were his choice and he chose to go against society, but he had no choice in selecting his appearance. His stained face, abnormally sized hands, feet, and lips make him very external to society.
Theories Of Homosexuality
Functionalists worry that if homosexuality became a norm, then the continuation of our species would be threatened. This is an argument used in many cases that are against gay rights and gay marriage. Some societies may even punish one for being homosexual because it violates their social norms. While gay rights have improved over the years and people are more accepting than they use to be, we still have countries like Saudi Arabia and other middle eastern countries along with Nigeria and a few other African countries that execute people for just loving someone of the
Macbeth's Sexuality In Macc
Mac's sexuality was an ongoing question in the gang's lives. Though the question was always left unasked, it was a thought that had occurred to everyone but Mac. They were pretty sure they knew the answer, but they couldn't help but wonder. Mac always swore he was straight, but they still had their suspicions everytime Mac would say or do something that didn't seem so... straight. On the day Mac would come out as gay, Dennis told himself he would roll with it.
Critical Analysis Of Maugham's Treatment Of Women
Some critics think his misogyny is projected by his real life incidents such as his troubled marriage and homosexuality. As in many stories he has projected the theme of troubled marriage but it cannot be counted as a sufficient reason to call him a misogynist. He lived a messy relationship with Syrie but his conflict with her was because of his homosexuality. He tried his best to live a normal life like heterosexual man, to love women but he simply could not. As for his homosexuality, his consciousness about this subject never allowed him to write it in his fictional works.
The Importance Of LGBT Marriage
Same - sex marriage has been seen as a sign of Satan. Some people think that it is a disgusting thing and against moral. They make up lots of reason even the nonsensical thing like if homosexuality deserves equal protection, then, logically, deviant practices such as incest or bestiality must be allowed the same equal protection. That is so psychotic. In the past, the LGBT marriage issue is quite sensitive to talk about but nowadays human start to open their heart,

Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club held the inaugural Sailing Institute Match Racing Regatta to wrap up a fantastic winter of training for the youth sailors.
Thirty-three sailors from the RFBYC Sailing Institute Winter Squads made up six teams to compete in BW8 keelboats over the weekend of 2 and 3 September. In moderate winds on Saturday three flights were held. Jet Racing, helmed by Aaron de Longville (15) were unbeaten on Day One with three wins. They were followed by Marcello Torre (15) and Nick Syme (20), both with two. At 20, Nick is one of the older sailors in the Match Racing Squad and he was out to help some of the younger ones. His team made up of 12-15 year olds Jamie Bougher, Joshua O'Dea, Toby Webster, Jameel Willson-Imamdin, Alistair Watters and Zachary Sprunt, the young sailors rotating turns on the boat.
This was the first unassisted match racing regatta for all teams and a challenging first day for the sailors. They soon realised how diligent they must be in gathering information and communicating within their team, without forgetting to keep an eye on their opponent.
Day Two delivered moderate wind and flat water in Freshwater Bay. The race management team set up right in front of the Clubhouse, great viewing for parents and supporters ashore.
A group briefing was held by the coaches who provided feedback from the first day and some valuable advice prior to racing. The RFBYC Sailing Institute sailors are very lucky to have support from a large pool of talented coaches. For the regatta they had Ben Durham; four America's Cup campaigns and currently competing on the RC44 and TP52 Super Series circuits, Mark Lovelady; many years as an international match racing helm and successful sailor in several keelboat classes and Sam Gilmour; current WMRT Tour card holder and highly successful on the match racing circuit. The coaches followed each match and advised teams between flights, ensuring the sailors were gaining the most from the regatta experience. When not racing, sailors joined their coaches to closely watch their peers racing and listen to the umpire calls.
A full round robin was completed. Jet Racing, skippered by Aaron de Longville with Ben Hutcherson, Nathan Stacey, Caylim Vause and Hugh Kilpatrick led with 4 wins, only beaten by Luke Dobrich's (15) Harwired Racing team. Second place was split on a count back by Will Drew (14) beating Marcello Torre in their match.
The finals were first to three wins. For 5th and 6th place, Grant Box took the helm with his team Cullen Binet, Thomas Ostergaard, Bailey Ireland and Ben Lane. They sailed against Luke Dobrich and crew, Tom Hodge, Andrew Buchan, Murray Buchan and Kai Colman who won the first three races to keep 5th position. Box's team certainly made them work hard for it though, coming out in front in most pre-start situations.
It was a tough round for 3rd and 4th between Nick Syme and Marcello Torre. Marcello's team had been training together throughout the winter and it showed, with his crew of Liam Pabbruwe, Oliver Pabbruwe, Raffael Torre and Bruce McKinnon sailing well to take three wins.
Two young teams lined up to contest the top two places. Aaron de Longville (15) and Will Drew (14) on the helm. Will's team had the youngest combined age in the event with his crew Jonathon Everett (14), Brock Pitcher (14), Rohin Kehal (16) and Grayson Downs (14). Two wins to Aaron's Jet Racing but Will's Intrepid Racing didn't give up. They fought back with a win in the third match to stretch out the finals.
With Jet Racing leading 2-1, many close moves and lead changes took place and in a deciding move a luffing incident sent Intrepid Racing into a broach with Jet Racing sailing away to claim the win.
Head coach of the RFBYC Sailing Institute, Ben Durham commented after the event "The level of the sailors was really good for their age and the amount of experience they've had. With more time we will see some real talent coming out of this group. They controlled the boats well and improved a lot with their match racing over the weekend. It's such a steep learning curve. I was impressed to see that pretty much all of the sailors wanted to keep racing, they had learnt so much they were excited and just wanted to keep going".
The two day match racing event was well run by a team of volunteers who had been involved in the WMRT Match Cup Australia earlier in the year at RFBYC. The team, led by Race Officer John Taylor were very pleased to see that their efforts for the sport have encouraged the next generation of young match racing talent. RFBYC Sailing Institute sailors are inspired by their older peers with many local Perth sailors currently competing internationally both on the WMRT circuit and in international match racing competition.

Hark Olufs (July 17 or 19, 1708 in Nebel – October 13, 1754) was a North Frisian sailor. He was captured by Algerian pirates and sold into slavery. By successfully working as a slave servant to the Bey of Constantine, he eventually obtained his freedom from captivity.

Life
Hark Olufs was born as son of a nautical captain named Oluf Jensen on either July 17 or 19 in 1708 on the North Frisian island of Amrum, which then belonged to Denmark. In 1721 he became a seaman on the Hoffnung, a ship belonging to his father.

In 1724, on a voyage from Nantes to Hamburg, Olufs' ship was seized by Algerian pirates and he, and his two cousins, were taken hostage. Olufs' family could not afford the high price which was demanded in ransom by the Barbary slave traders for his release. Because the ship had been sailing under Hamburg colours, the family's request for a loan from the slavery fund of the Danish Kingdom was rejected.

Subsequently, Olufs was sold as a slave on Algiers' slave market. From 1724 to 1727/28 he was a slave servant of the Bey of Constantine and advanced in responsibility to become the Bey's treasurer. Between 1728 and 1732 he was made Commander of the Life Guards. In 1732 he became Agha ed-Deira, Commander in Chief of the local cavalry. In 1735, he took part in the conquest of Tunis by the Algerian army during the disposal of Al-Husayn I ibn Ali. As a reward, Olufs was released on October 31 and was allowed to return to Amrum. In 1747 he published an autobiography in Danish, which was translated into German in 1751. Hark Olufs died on October 13, 1754, in Süddorf on Amrum. His headstone is still visible in the graveyard of Nebel.

Legacy
Hark Oluf's life was chronicled in a biographical novel in 2010:

The Why and Why Not of Apple's Rumored 'Cheaper' iPhone
J. Glenn Künzler - Jan 16, 2013
Rumors have been swirling for the past several days about the possibility that Apple will release a cheaper iPhone, likely made of plastic. The muttering began with a post by DigiTimes, who isn't particularly well known for their accuracy. What made matters more interesting, however, was a second report by the Wall Street Journal, corroborating the story with their own sources.
From WSJ:
Apple Inc. AAPL -3.28% is working on a lower-end iPhone, according to people briefed on the matter, a big shift in corporate strategy as its supremacy in smartphones has slipped. […] Apple Inc. is working on a less-expensive iPhone as an alternative to the existing model, according to people briefed on the matter. The lower-end iPhone could launch as soon as later this year.
The report was later backed up by Bloomberg, who chimed in with yet another supposed confirmation:
Apple Inc. (AAPL) plans to sell a smaller, cheaper version of the iPhone as soon as this year, said a person familiar with the plans, part of a push to gain customers in developing nations.
Apple, which had been working on a more affordable smartphone since at least February 2011, is weighing retail prices of $99 to $149 for a device that would debut in late 2013, at the earliest, according to the person […] Apple has spoken to at least one of the top U.S. wireless carriers about its plans, the person said yesterday.
Later, Reuters posted some alleged comments from Apple's Phil Schiller (link not working, as the post was later withdrawn), who was claimed to have said cheap smartphones will "never be the future of Apple products." Those comments were later dramatically revised. While the interview was confirmed to have taken place, what Schiller may or may not have actually said seems up for debate (emphasis added, quoting Reuters' revised report).
But in a new version of the story published after the original, the Shanghai Evening News removed all references to cheaper smartphones, except for a mention of a "cheaper, low-end product." It also amended its original headline from "Apple will not push a cheaper smartphone for the sake of market share," to "Apple wants to provide the best products, will not blindly pursue market share."
Apple confirmed the interview had taken place and that it had contacted the Chinese newspaper about amending its original article, but had no further comment and declined to provide a transcript of the interview.
The Analysis
The "facts" of the story have changed a great deal since it was first confirmed by The Wall Street Journal. So what should we believe? Pretty much every Apple analyst has an opinion about this – and even former Apple CEO John Sculley has chimed in saying it's a great idea! Here are some thoughts on why Apple might or might not release such a device – and what's at stake in either case.
The Benefits of a Cheaper iPhone
Faster and deeper market share gains in China and other emerging markets for Apple.
Increase competition with low-end Android devices.
Would address the pre-paid phone market more effectively,
These are not insignificant points. As Apple continues in the battle for smartphone marketshare against Android as a platform, and against Samsung and other top smartphone manufacturers, any edge they can give themselves will be an advantage. While the iPhone 4 and 4S are already available for relatively cheap, getting the devices at a discount requires signing a carrier contract, which isn't ideal for everyone.
The real question is what sort of compromises a cheaper iPhone would require – and whether or not Apple is willing to make those compromises, which leads us into our next section.
The Downsides
For the many benefits Apple could reap, there are also a number of concerns. All of the rumors I am aware of that claim Apple will release a cheaper iPhone suggest it will be made from plastic – and that doesn't seem like an intuitive choice for Apple to make. Plastic scratches easily, becomes brittle, is very easily damaged, and tends to give a device a "cheap" look and feel. That's definitely not the sort of thing Apple tends to go for.
Releasing a cheaper iPhone alongside an upgraded 'iPhone 5S' could also lead to fragmentation concerns. In order to work around those concerns, such a device would have to be powerful enough to run any available iPhone app – which would seriously affect the ways that Apple can reduce it's production cost.
It's also worth noting that Apple would have to significantly cut their profit margin if they released a cheaper device, which runs counter to their product philosophy. It's also difficult from a business perspective. Look at Android, for instance. Android is gaining market share like crazy – but mainly due to cheap handsets. As a result, very few Android device makers are actually turning a significant profit from the devices. Samsung manages to turn a nice profit – but then again, they offer high-end premium smartphones alongside their cheaper offerings. Would Apple really be willing to take a profit hit on their most profitable line of products?
What's in a word? The difference between 'cheap' and 'less expensive'.
Apple has proven their ability to reduct product price points in the past – the iPod mini and iPod nano are prime examples of this. It's possible that Apple could release a less expensive device without significantly compromising quality by altering the form factor, or scaling down the internal specs (perhaps taking away the Retina display on the low-end model). But again, the concern is fragmentation – such a device should still be capable of running any iPhone app from the App Store without issues, and without significant work being required of developers.
In the end, it's impossible to know for sure what Apple's plans are – whether or not they are planning to release a cheaper iPhone, and how they would go about reducing the cost. But I wouldn't be too surprised either way at this point – especially if they devise a way that doesn't require significantly lowering the overall quality of the product.
Apple have long been masters in the pricing game, starting with the iPod – and a lot of smart people seem to thing Apple could head in this direction (including Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a remarkable track record for Apple predictions). It will be interesting to see what direction they go in!
Hopefully we've provided you with a little bit more to think about when pondering the idea of a cheaper iPhone – although there's certainly much more we could have discussed. What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments!

A better view of Europe: the European Rail Timetable
Posted by Nicky Gardner and Susanne Kries | 1 June 2015 | News
Want to find out about what's new in Europe's summer rail schedules? Then just head for the June issue of the European Rail Timetable which is published this week. The timetable is published monthly, and for regular rail travellers an annual subscription really makes sense.
In addition to the twelve monthly issues of the European Rail Timetable each year, there are also two special seasonal editions. For those who don't want to invest in a sub, these seasonal editions are a good choice. Those summer and winter timetable editions capture the two key timetable changes of the year — which take place in many European countries in mid-June and mid-December. Not every country conforms to those precise mid-June and mid-December dates for changing timetables. In Britain, for example, summer schedules started on 17 May.
So as well as the regular monthly issue for June 2015, the Summer 2015 European Rail Timetable is also published this week. The seasonal editions carry additional material not found in the monthly timetables. They feature a good selection of current timetables from around the world — so the seasonal editions are good for roaming well beyond Europe. The seasonal editions also include lots of hard practical information for rail travellers with details of rail passes, embassy contacts, tourist offices, etc.
Both the June 2015 European Rail Timetable and the Summer 2015 seasonal edition can now be ordered. Copies will be despatched at the end of this week.
Both books are masterpieces of compression. Even in a web-wise world, a printed timetable is an essential part of the rail traveller's armamentarium. Websites may be good at answering the question "How do I get from A to B?", but the European Rail Timetable reveals a higher order of knowledge. It allows us to discern the pattern of rail services on any given route. And with time users of the timetable develop a good appreciation of network connectivity across Europe. In a word, the European Rail Timetable gives a view of Europe which is not matched by any website.

Promiscuity Differs by Gender
Men and women are hard-wired for short-term sex -- but must we obey our brains?
Men and women are programmed for promiscuity. But we differ in our desires.
Paradoxically, both men and women are also programmed to mate for life. Both can choose short-term or long-term sex strategies. What men want, however, differs from what women want.
The theory that men's and women's sexual desires are hard-wired isn't new. It's been controversial for decades. Now a central tenet of evolutionary psychology, the theory holds that our sexual behavior evolved over millennia and is encoded in our brains. We aren't doomed to act out these programs. But they do shape our desires.
According to evolutionary psychology, men and women each evolved their own strategies for seeking sex partners. If that's true, men's sexual desires should be the same for men everywhere. And the desires of men everywhere in the world should differ in the same ways from those of women. The same would hold true for women.
Now there's convincing new evidence that this is so.
It comes from the International Sexuality Description Project, led by David P. Schmitt, PhD, Bradley University, Peoria, Ill. The projects findings appear in the July 2003 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The title sums it up: "Universal Sex Differences in the Desire for Sexual Variety: Tests From 52 Nations, 6 Continents, and 13 Islands."
"Both men and women show signs of being programmed to be monogamous in a certain way and promiscuous in a certain way," Schmitt tells WebMD. "The main difference is in short-term mating strategies, or how men and women go about being promiscuous."
Good Sex Partners vs. Lots of Sex Partners
"We don't say men and women always opt for short-term strategies," Schmitt says. "What we are talking about is that when they go for infidelity or promiscuity, men focus on large numbers and women focus on quality."
What really irks Schmitt is that many people interpret this finding to mean that women are designed to be faithful but men are predestined to be promiscuous. That's not what the evidence shows. Instead, both women and men are fully equipped for one-night stands and lifelong relationships.
Schmitt and colleagues asked men and women all over the world about what they wanted from long-term and short-term sexual relationships.
"What we found is that when men opt for short-term mating, they pursue larger numbers of partners than women," Schmitt says. "When women go short-term mating, they don't go for large numbers. They are a little more discriminating. They look for physically attractive men who have masculine facial features. Women look for men who are symmetrical, who are high in social dominance. This doesn't mean all women will be short-term maters. But when they opt to do so, they show these desires."
Another big difference: Men are ready to say "yes" to sex much more quickly than women. They say they'd need to know a person only a relatively short time before consenting to sex. Women want to know their potential partners significantly longer before sex.
Yet another difference points to the origin of the dumb-blonde stereotype: The minds of men.
"Men's preference for intelligence in short-term mates drops off the scale," Schmitt says. "If you look at what men want in a short-term mating partner, a sexual partner as opposed to a marriage partner, they prefer below-average intelligence."
These different desires hold true regardless of whether women or men are married or single, heterosexual or homosexual. And they hold true across six continents.
Different Desires for Marriage Partners
Schmitt's findings also support basic differences between men and women in what they want in a marriage partner.
"These differences aren't as conspicuous as those for short-term desires, but they are still quite distinct," Schmitt says. "Long term, men prefer youth and physical attractiveness while women prefer men who are somewhat older, intelligent, and ambitious. Men prefer women who are intelligent, too, but not as much."
These differences really shouldn't surprise anybody, says Helen E. Fisher, PhD, professor of anthropology at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N.J. Fisher is the author of First Sex: The Natural Talents of Women and How They Are Changing the World and Anatomy of Love: The Mysteries of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray, among other works.
"Why should they have desires in common? Men and women are very different creatures," Fisher tells WebMD.
Men, she says, already know that they need to appear fit and socially powerful to attract a mate. And women certainly know what attracts men.
"Men are looking for youth and beauty in the short term -- women really do know this," Fisher says. "They do try to look young and pretty. It is remarkable how the makeup and clothing industry constantly plays on this. Makeup makes the face clearer, the eyes bigger, the lips more baby-like red, the hair the sweet light color of youth. Clothing, too: The belts and things that show off the waist-to-hip ratio, the tight blue jeans and shirts that mold the figure. Both sexes always know these things."
The Limits of Lust
People built their hopes and dreams on relationships, not mating strategies. But there's nothing wrong with knowing what you want and going for it, says George Williams, PhD, an Atlanta-based marital and sex therapist.
"I help people become conscious of their own desires," Williams tells WebMD. "It is perfectly legitimate for people to be clear about what they do and do not want in a partner."
Williams agrees with Schmitt and Fisher that men and women have innate desires wired deep into the brain. But he stresses the importance of other brain wiring -- that which gives us reason.
"Human beings' sexual behavior has an awful lot to do with our ability to think and imagine," Williams says. "There are some primitive brain structures that operate, but our sex behavior is not seasonally driven or hormone driven -- we don't mate only in the spring, or only when the female is in heat. We can use reason in our sex lives."
Just because men and women are programmed for promiscuity doesn't make it impossible -- or unnatural -- to have faithful, monogamous, long-term relationships.
"I tell people to honor their values," Williams says. "If you honor fidelity as important to you and your relationship, it is a matter of your own integrity to honor that.
"And, as the Catholics say, there is the issue of avoiding proximate occasions of sin. Or as my college roomie used to say, 'God will throw a sexy woman in your path every six months.' So don't fan any coals that come your way. Don't fan the fire."
Sex Cheating Defined
Adultery doesn't just happen. One member of a relationship has to switch strategies. Why?
"People abandon their long-term sex strategy in favor of a short-term strategy because of lust," Williams says. "But affairs are very complex entities. They are always problematic and usually dangerous. When people tell me they are having an affair, they think the most dangerous part is getting caught. I think the most dangerous thing is to fall in love."
The least dangerous kind of an affair, he says, is the kind of one-night stands that happen at a convention or a conference where people part and never meet again. The most dangerous are secret, longstanding affairs that go on for years with fantasies and hopes and dreams of building a relationship.
What makes it an affair? Williams thinks his answer will surprise most men -- and few women.
"I think an affair occurs when two people are in a committed relationship, and one or both has a relationship with another that has secret content and sexual tension and they hide all of it from their partner," he says.
"A common misconception among men is, 'I am not having an affair because I have not slept with the other woman.' But they dream, they fantasize, they wish they were with the other person -- that is what I call fanning the coals."
That "other" Williams speaks of may be a friend, or a co-worker -- or a pornographic image.
"Here's a common thing I am seeing today. Women will catch men engaging in something pornographic on the Internet," Williams says. "While men view this as innocent sexual arousal, women view it as a major violation of the marriage. It is a secret sexual encounter they are excluded from that contains arousal and ejaculation. This takes energy from the relationship. I encourage people to keep the focus of their sexuality on their partners."
Using Sex Programming In Your Marriage
Fortunately, men's and women's hard-wired sexual desires can be harnessed to help, not harm, their marriages. Unfortunately, Fisher says, few people take advantage of this.
"It is really remarkable how we absolutely know you have to do a good job every day at work to keep your job. We know we have to eat well and exercise regularly to keep healthy. But when it comes to marriage, for some reason we cling to that concept of 'til death do us part," she says. "It is quite detrimental. Because even in relationships in which people are deeply committed, one has to work to keep one's marriage together."
Where does one begin? Fisher points to the brain. Whenever people do something new -- or meet a new potential sex partner -- the brain secretes a chemical messenger called dopamine. High dopamine levels are associated with sexual arousal.
"I say to people if you want to keep your long-term relationship exciting, do novel things together," Fisher says. "It does drive up dopamine. It really can help your sex drive."
What kind of new things? Use your imagination.
"Oh, try new things in the bedroom, of course," Fisher laughs. "But it's not just that. People always go to the same places for dinner. Go somewhere new for dinner, for vacation. Wear something new to bed. Pick up a new sport together; learn to ski. Go to new kinds of theatre and to movies. This is why people go on vacations. It creates excitement. It is a way of tricking the brain into states of arousal and sexuality that can keep a marriage well groomed."
As light-hearted as it sounds, this advice isn't simply a means for fun. Your marriage may depend on it.
"If people spent as much time talking about what to do in bed on Saturday morning as they do on where to go on Saturday night, they would elevate the level of their relationships," Fisher says. "You can't treat a person as an old shoe. These days it is easy to divorce. It is easy to be an adulterer. Women are far more independent these days, and there is no disgrace in divorce. Relationships are fragile. Your marriage needs a certain amount of regular massage to keep it in health."
