Two lawyers from Bavaria Markt Heidenfeld have filed with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague will press charges. They accuse Dr. Joseph Ratzinger, Pope of the Roman Catholic. Church of the crime against humanity under Article 7 ICC Statute.
Directly to the ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, the 59-page criminal complaint accuses Dr. Joseph Ratzinger, Pope of the Roman Catholic. Church of the crime against humanity in three international crimes that were previously not shown simply because they were based on an institution headed by the highest dignitaries, appearing on crime far superior. "The traditional deference to the Church authorities dull the sense of right," say the two lawyers Christian Sailer and Gert-Joachim Hetzel.
These three points are through the baptism of a newborn caused compulsory membership, the murderous ban on condoms and the patronage of the sex crimes of the clergy. In all of these points will recognize the lawyer to prove a crime against humanity and can. In addition, Dr. Ratzinger on all three counts of criminal responsibility had to wear. It was admissible because the display art.27 of the ICC Statute, thus having jurisdiction "means any person, regardless of their official capacity 'would be subject. In particular, the property relieved as head of state is not a person of criminal responsibility under this Statute.
Sailer Hetzel and therefore apply to the display to launch an investigation against the accused and to hear him on the facts before it. An opinion for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes International Criminal Court (ICC) is still pending.

Homosexual sex between siblings is not prohibited. Sex between hetero-siblings is. One pair of hetero-siblings finds that discriminatory.
Anal sex among gay siblings is allowed. Heterosexual siblings are being punished by law for the same behavior. This was not only an illegal interference with his private and family life but also even discriminatory, according to a 34-year old Leipzig and goes up before the Court in Strasbourg.
The now 34-year-old Patrick grew up in an orphanage. After the age of majority, he went in search of his mother. About this he learned that he had a sister named Susan, in which he fell in love and with whom he had four children in a row. Once, however, had experienced the youth office of the incest case, it took the children in foster care. Patrick in 2005 by the Leipzig district court for violation of Section 173 of the Penal Code and sentenced to one year four months' imprisonment. Sure, one would think: after all, incest - that the sexual intercourse between blood relatives - are prohibited. Patrick wanted to, however, so do not accept: He turned against the German Federal Constitutional Court, which, however, rejected in 2008 and his Complain also increased the sentence by one year.
Patrick will still not give up: After all, would be banned under German law of vaginal intercourse between blood relatives, but not such as the anal intercourse. Gay siblings would therefore be able to practice their love with impunity. The decision is now before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, because the German legislative provision was a disproportionate interference with his private and family life and also discriminatory, says Patrick. Also in Spain, France, the Netherlands or Portugal would therefore not forbidden incest. The Strasbourg decision is eagerly anticipated: either the action is dismissed, or the entire paragraph is considered to be of human rights and should be repealed. Then would be incest relations in Germany (and Europe) will no longer be punishable. The third possibility is that only the condemnation is lifted from Patrick. Although only then should his trial be reopened, which would result in similar cases, but probably to a considerable legal uncertainty.

Is the 'Aids Station' at AKH Linz the next austerity victim?
In Linz,the hospital beds for AIDS patients could soon be a victim of austerity. Today's report, the "Upper Austrian News" (OÖN).
Specifically, it is planned that the Department of Dermatology at Linz General Hospital, where the suffering from AIDS patients are treated, is converted to an outpatient clinic. This would give a care around the clock no longer possible. However, the department is the only place in Upper Austria, can be treated in AIDS.
The Special Commission to reform the hospital proposes to relocate the hospital beds for AIDS patients to another ward. But Heinz Brock, medical director of the Linz General Hospital, is skeptical: ".. This is a highly complex form of treatment There is no other department that has this power is beyond me, how this is," says the OÖN. He stressed that the transfer would in another department a "huge loss of quality" in the treatment result. He feared: "That would be the end of AIDS care in the General Hospital." Brock proposes instead to reduce the number of beds in dermatology from the current 67 to 20 to 30. This would save costs and maintain the standard.
Opposition to the proposal of the Reform Commission is also the Aids Upper Austria. Its president Erich O. Gates called the proposal "technically incomprehensible, inefficient, unprofessional and not only questionable, but for experts, even highly dubious."

No apartment for 2 lesbians = trial at Court of Human Rights
Because a landlord wanted his house in Vienna not to rent to a lesbian couple, is the chairman of the Lambda Legal Committee, Helmut Graupner, before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. For, according to Austrian law, this discrimination is allowed.
Lisa and her partner Claudia Hampala Tondl wanted to move together in the fifth district of Vienna. The rent of 900 euros was indeed quite high, "but it was a piece of this garden, which we liked very much," the 27-year-old student recalls in the daily newspaper Der Standard. The broker was about to terminate the lease with her alone and asked for proof of income from Hampala. As the two women said: "We do not plan on WG, but are a couple we share all expenses.."
Thus, the problems began: suddenly became a citizen and an income proof of three and a half times the amount of rent required. For heterosexual couples remained the same but the conditions were, test calls. "In our personal environment, it makes no difference whether one is heterosexual or homosexual. But this is a soap bubble, as in Austria, it often looks different," the 27-year-old student is disappointed.
Other hand, complain they wanted - but the discrimination in the provision of services exempt from punishment in Austria, at least for lesbians and gays. For migrants the same behavior of the landlord would have been punished. Nevertheless, the Constitutional Court is no unequal treatment. He followed in the last year of a statement by the Federal Government. This argued that denial contributes to a rented apartment "strangers" to the "difficulty in integration. "Comparable social consequences" for the discrimination of lesbians and gays "it has not," the government.
Therefore Graupner is now before the Court of Human Rights. The Austrian Equal Treatment Act violates the basic rights of non-discrimination laid down in Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Particularly bitter was only in March, the relevant law had been amended with appropriate changes were even in the bill. Then they were re-painted - at the urging of the ÖVP.

Court rules, that religion doesn't entitle someone to insult homosexuals.
Bad luck for a religious fanatic who believed he could insult under the guise of 'religion'is a lesbian colleague. The appeal court upheld the dismissal as justified.
The applicant was in a Wal-Mart store in Joliet (Illinois) and is engaged in a religious group that rejects homosexuality strictly. During a break from work, the applicant withdrew her a lesbian co-worker: homosexuality would not be accepted by God, she said. The lesbian is 'not quite right in the head' and would 'go to hell'. This became a supervisor of the applicant, this debate then the dismissal. Reign in Wal-Mart, the supervisors, a zero-Tolerance' policy regarding any other harassment because of sex, color, political persuasion or sexual orientation.
Powered by lawyers of the religious association of the woman then sued Wal-Mart for violations of the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religious conviction. After her dismissal was based solely on the fact that it refused homosexuals, their dismissal would be occupied because of their religious beliefs. This view is shared, however, neither the trial court nor the appellate court in Chicago: The applicant had with their abuse - religious conviction or not - a serious nuisance and therefore committed a 'gross negligence', which constitutes a valid reason for dismissal. "If the applicant claims, Wal-Mart would allow her to insult homosexuals at work and draw their on their religious beliefs may be, then you are wrong, "the clear ruling of the appellate court.

Gay penguins and giant octopus.
Despite freezing temperatures in the artificial landscape awaken in Antarctic penguins of Constance large aquarium Sea Life Spring fever. A year after their arrival by refrigerated trucks from the French Brest is currently flirting on Lake Constance, you're worth.
The animals hunt at 30 miles an hour through the water and even so the feathers. The typical "I-Ah" cries of the animals their names are placed in the mating season to hear more often than usual. No wonder the nurses do is hope for offspring from the protected species standing coat makers.
But finding the right partner is apparently also in penguins, not easy: in particular males Bonaparte seems to fall head over heels in an unfortunate plunge. He only has eyes for the nurse. Actually seems Bonaparte sit up an optical illusion. The object of desire is simply the boots of his nurse. The black boots with the white sole provides a lying on his belly penguin seems deceptively similar.
In terms of infertility is one constant in experience. Even last spring, a supposed dream team turned out for the penguins to be gay. The two men had even built a nest.
Lonely it is not the same. Just in time for the season opening the Gentoo penguins at the Sea Life received new roommate. In the special exhibition "Octopus Garden", the Grand Aquarium displays since Tuesday giant squid, known as octopuses. The animals are considered very intelligent and can even open vessels. Their hiding camouflaged octopus art full of stones and shells, so as to produce elaborate gardens.
