上午看到皇帝穿“新衣” 无意识间做了一次孩子
中午回母校参加班会 无预料间被面对了一群孩子
最初以为自己站在河对岸的人 发现原来和他们一样站在岸这边
一样漂着——要怎么过河？

10 Ways to Start Conversations About The Freedom To Marry
Safine 发表于 2010-03-17 10:14:20
The passage of Prop 8 put the security and freedoms of all Californians at risk by taking away fundamental rights from a minority. Continuing to raise awareness and sparking conversations about the issue is crucial as we move forward to experience Equality For All. You can help change hearts and minds by simply starting a conversation with your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Here are 10 ways to start conversations about the freedom to marry:
1. Think about it—what if you were told that you couldn't marry the person you loved? How would that make you feel, or change your relationship, your future plans and your life? Worse yet, what if you got married, and someone tried to take it away?
2. Two people in a committed, trusting and loving relationship deserve the dignity and support that come with marriage.
3. People can have different beliefs and still treat everyone fairly. That’s why our constitution exists to protect everyone equally, including minorities.
4. It is a joy to see my son/daughter and his/her partner together and a part of our family. I wish those who voted for Prop 8 could understand how much it hurt our family.
5. Discrimination is wrong no matter who it affects. We must work together to fight against discrimination, wherever it appears. Today it’s marriage. What will be next?
6. Tradition is important in our family. That’s why we’ve invited our son/daughter’s partner to be a part of our family traditions and celebrations.
7. It is not for me to judge other people. Just because I disapprove of something does not mean that people’s rights should be taken away.
8. Many couples stay together for years and not only face discrimination, but many other challenges. In spite of these challenges, these couples remain courageous in the face of opposition and deeply committed to building happy lives together.
9. When gay and lesbian couples get married, they may finally be recognized as being part of the extended family. When the Supreme Court finally recognized their rights, many couples were surprised by how meaningful it was for their family members, too.
10. Domestic partnerships don't provide the same security as marriage. They exclude people from marriage and create an unfair system that often does not work in emergency situations when people need it most.

By the Numbers
Key Facts about Gay and Lesbian Couples in the U.S.
* Gay and lesbian couples live in 99.3 percent of all counties nationwide.
* There are an estimated 3.1 million people living together in gay or lesbian relationships in the United States.
* Fifteen percent of these couples live in rural settings.
* Between 1 million and 9 million children are being raised by gay, lesbian and bisexual parents in the United States today.
* The highest percentages of these couples raising children live in the South.
* Nearly one in four gay and lesbian couples includes a partner 55 years old or older, and nearly one in five is composed of two people 55 or older.
* More than one in 10 gay and lesbian couples include a partner 65 years old or older, and nearly one in 10 of these couples is composed of two people 65 or older.

Printemps - In Memory of Leslie...
Safine 发表于 2010-03-16 11:06:19
最近又找出Leslie的专辑
许久未听 再次想起竟又是在春天 有点意外
98年发行的这张国语专辑 法语"printemps" 正是春色满溢
附一张粤语EP"这些年来" 封面是乍暖还寒
"printemps"里的《取暖》 在EP中有了林夕重填的《最冷一天》
有些歌只该Leslie演绎
或者永远遗憾 或者永远怀念
---
取暖
暗夜的脚步是两个人 一路被紧紧的追赶
而你的眼神依然天真 这是我深藏许久的疑问
往天涯的路程两个人 不停的坠落无底深渊
握紧的双手还冷不冷 直到世界尽头只剩我们
你不要隐藏孤单的心 尽管世界比我们想象中残忍
我不会遮盖寂寞的眼 只因为想看着你的天真
我们拥抱着就能取暖 我们依偎着就能生存
即使在冰天雪地的人间遗失身分
我们拥抱着就能取暖 我们依偎着就能生存
即使在茫茫人海中就要沉沦
(曲: 陈小霞 / 词: 杨立德)
最冷一天
如果伤感比快乐更深 但愿我一样伴你行
当抬头迎面总有密云 只要认得你再没有遗憾
如果苦笑比眼泪更真 但愿笑声像一滴滴吻
如明日好景忽远忽近 仍愿抱着这份情没疑问
任面前时代再低气温 多麽的庆幸 长夜无需一个人
任未来存在哪个可能 和你亦是 最後那对变更
唯愿在剩馀光线面前 留下两眼为见你一面
仍然能相拥才不怕骤变但怕思念
唯愿会及时拥抱入眠 留住这世上最暖一面
茫茫人海取暖渡过最冷一天
(曲: 陈小霞 / 词: 林夕)

When Exception Becomes A Certainty...
Ma Ke 发表于 2010-02-25 17:13:14
The communication does not rely on the perception of either side,
but the fact of reaching both hearts, ...
and understanding becomes a certainty.
