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anticipated: either the action is dismissed, or the entire paragraph is considered to be of human rights and should be repealed.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.

He has them as compared to eating disorders and meant they would have to be treated because of their defect. In a book published last year, he said, also HIV-positive individuals were responsible for their infection and their infection was "a kind of immanent justice" for the abuse of love.
For Leonard, it was not the first Tortung: First of All Saints, he was met at a church service in the Cathedral of Brussels by a load of whipped cream. Even then, the thrower could escape undetected. Most appealing was the action for the controversial cleric but probably not - for the pies, it was not, according to journalists searches delicious cream cakes, pizza dough, but only with whipped cream.

The 'death list' leads to the state of Bahia with 29 murders, followed by 24-Alagoas and Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo with 23 murders. 'popular mode of death' is the shooting at 43%, followed by knife murders of 27%. By beating with sticks or stones after all, died for 18% of murder victims. Many of these crimes interpret because of the cruelty with which they are performed out of hate crimes. So some of the victims were tortured or castrated for example, a transgender was even slaughtered with 72 stab wounds.

Ondamaris investigates: Why are HIV-positive excluded from hepatitis C studies?
The treatment of hepatitis C is facing major upheavals - very effective in significantly fewer side effects than existing therapies. But - HIV-positive are often still excluded.
Several new drugs are being tested in Phase III trials for hepatitis C. The results so far are very promising. You can hope that, ultimately, not only to existing therapies can be significantly enhanced - it can soon seem possible that treatment of hepatitis C could do without the (not just side effects) of interferon (see relevant investor'Befürchtungen ', (3 )).
HIV-positive have an increased risk of becoming infected with hepatitis C. And in HIV-positive people who are co-infected with hepatitis C, there is a risk that the hepatitis C infection progresses faster than in a singular HCV infection.
But - those are the people with HIV from trials of new drugs against hepatitis C currently most excluded in principle.
For example, a search in the new 'EU Clinical Trials Register' example of a Phase III study of the hepatitis C protease inhibitor telaprevir study (EudraCT Number: 2010-021628-84):
Principal exclusion criteria:
...
18. Subject has human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection. "
While there are now examining studies, the HCV protease inhibitor in HIV-positive (first data were presented at CROI 2011, see (1)) - but only occasionally. And initial studies show that these drugs work well in HIV-positive - one less reason, people with HIV continue to be excluded from future studies. In addition, first data were presented to interact with HIV medications (2). Another reason for less.
This exclusion is done with reason - and certainly not with discriminatory intent.
Thus, treatment of both infections (hepatitis C and HIV) is more complicated than the treatment of a single infection. And the interpretation of study results could prove complicated. On interactions between HIV treatment and new hepatitis C substances (naturally) still not well known.
But - all this, in fact, people with HIV generally justifies excluded from studies with promising hepatitis C drug?
Justify this, they thereby - to withhold further options - they are particularly important - treatment?
Justify this exclusion on a principal of a whole group who are at increased risk of infection with hepatitis C have? And that also is at increased risk of faster disease progression?
Researchers and sponsors must ask themselves whether this exclusion principle is responsible yet.
Admission authorities and ethics committees must ask themselves whether this exclusion principle is still acceptable.
But - in the end will probably not change this, as long as HIV-positive who are also co-infected with hepatitis C, not even "get your ass up", some pressure to engage themselves and fight for their rights and health ...

Theme for this years World Health Day: Prevention before Treatment.
This year's World Health Day on 7 April 2011 under the theme "prevent and combat antibiotic resistance and". With her campaign wants the World Health Organisation (WHO) has obtained the efficacy of drugs for the treatment of malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV / AIDS for generations to come. Reason for this is the last in the decades around the world growing and most problematic development of resistance of pathogens to still successfully used drugs.
The Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) supports the concerns of the WHO, the emergence of highly resistant pathogens to counteract, and has also reflect the special importance of the prevention of infection through prevention, such as HIV / AIDS. Even the HIV virus can develop in inadequately controlled anti-retroviral therapy resistance. Such resistant pathogens can be transmitted to other people. So far this danger in Germany is relatively low, as carry HIV competence centers and specialized practices, HIV therapy to the best science-based standards. Globally, these high-quality HIV treatment is not guaranteed everywhere, and the risk of developing resistance increases. This also has consequences for Germany, since resistant pathogens are mobile with infected people and can be transferred anywhere.
"Germany is not immune against resistant HIV viruses", warns Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Pott, director of the Federal Centre for Health Education. "Therefore shall remain, prevention before treatment ', because the surest protection against infection is still the condom."
Thanks to more than 25 years of continuous preventive work of Federal Centre for Health Education and the German AIDS-Hilfe, Germany is in the number of new HIV infections in Europe at the lowest place. "However, we must not slacken our efforts. in a globalized world in which AIDS for many years to a life-threatening disease, it is essential to stabilize the AIDS prevention has been achieved and if possible expand, "said Elisabeth Pott.

Interesting piece about Homosexuality and Teachers.
The 48-year-old is outed for over 20 years since his teachers and teaching practice. "That's happened quite spontaneously, " he says. In a music lesson speaks his support teachers across the (homosexual) Russian composer Peter Tchaikovsky. Langer turns on and informs the class about his own sexual orientation. Not for the pleasure of the director ("He was arch-conservative") and with tangible consequences. The school head prevents the body Long after his internship as a music teacher receives for which it was originally intended. "It had to do with sexual orientation, " says Langer.
That gay teachers are discriminated against in the workplace is not unique even today. This shows a recently published German study. More than 1000 teachers Arne Mueller has asked for it. The 29-year-old, even gay, a teacher wanted to find out which teachers are exposed to stress gay. The results are frightening.
Although two thirds of respondents were in their outing in the school (also) positive reactions, however, witnessed a further 15 percent as insults, harassment or violence. "The number of cases is relatively low," says Mueller, "but there are extreme bursts into the negative."
As reported by gay teachers of psychological terror and threatening letters, even from colleagues, their subordinate sexual harassment of their students. Most of the verbal, psychological and physical violence is but from the students. More than 40 percent of German teachers have been discriminated against because of their sexual orientation by the students (see chart below).
John Long is the never happened, he says. Wolfgang Schmidt already. One time, however: students then attached to an information paper with his signature anti-gay remarks added. Wolfgang Schmidt teaches at a school in Linz, and he is not really so. He wants to remain anonymous because of his school do not know all that he was gay - certainly not the manager. "Before, I was afraid," says Schmidt. Meanwhile, he has none. But he saw no reason just to talk to his boss so private things. "Perhaps I dread the confrontation."
The Linz teacher belongs to the large majority. Statistically, there is projected in Austria five to ten thousand teachers gay and lesbian teachers. How many of them are outed at school, you do not know exactly. "Very few," said gay teachers themselves Hardly anyone the handle as open as he says Langer.
Must it really be that a teacher to his students discussed his sexual orientation? "A proactive outing I have done before," says Langer. But the result is given. When he talks about what he has done over the weekend that he made with his partner into the city or in the concert was. "If it offers, I tell stop from my life," he says.
But of course he wants to be role model for gay and lesbian school students. Because these have very serious (see report below). If the teacher be open about their homosexuality, and the students see that this is normal. And trust are more likely to stand by their sexual orientation.
"It would be good if the students learn in and from their teachers, that is a common way of life, " said Schmidt, the anonymous teacher from Linz. However, he will not even fight on the front line. "I'm somehow a bit too valuable to me because in addition ask." Naturally, when the negative experiences that make a lot of gay teachers still.
The school is "not a very benevolent habitat" for gay and lesbian teachers teacher, says Greg Faison, special education teacher and up to four years chairman of the Gay Initiative (Hosi) Salzburg. "It is handled like a bit until recently in the U.S. Army, " he says. "Do not ask, do not tell. homosexuality is okay to live - not as long as is being talked about 'institutionalized Faison missing information and prevention in schools. "It must be clarified at each school: we are not, gay pig '."
On Langer's school heard this expression barely. He has the rare good fortune to teach at a grammar school, where his sexual orientation is considered normal.
Before the council office to him his students have been congratulated, and now they grab the last morsels from a buffet. For young people it was always understood that Langer is gay, says a colleague. They would always respond with interest and sympathy to his sexual orientation, Langer says himself, "So much so that some find it chic, they have a gay teacher."

AIM (Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation) leaks private date of porn actors.
On this website are over 15,000 active and inactive already porn-makers listed. According to Wiki Leaks System each have complementary information, such as the correct name, date of birth, place of residence or CV. There is also a base for 'high-risk of HIV' gay porn actors, who play in hetero-porn.
Many of the descriptions contained untrue statements that keep the author apparently funny. It is noted by a (former) gay porn actors such as: "Although it is rumored that Mark had once had a family, this was merely a rumor in the spring of 1958, he slept as a gay, homeless bum on the beach, as a crippled sea urchins. (...)" crawled up his ass (note: we translate the text because its taste is not on). The article ends in any case with the image of an old, obese man who was supposed to show alleged the former porn star now, and the description of his limbs: "Mark was born without testicles and scrotum, he should indeed have ever had a penis, this was, however. very small and useless. Since 1995, it will mark not be able to find his penis. He insists though still waiting to have one, but he does not believe most people (...)"
It is striking that those porn-makers, of which accurate information - such as the correct names and dates of birth - are given, those should be, which is at the U.S. Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM) in San Fernando Valley (LA) most STDs can have. This entity can view porn producers using a special access the data of the actors and their health certificate. AIM has a theft of their database back decided. Where here which apparently leak is or who has copied the data and may be passed and published, had so far, however, find it yet.
In the porn actors in any case there is a frenzy, because many are not hiding either outed or source of their income to their friends, sometimes even against their own families. A legal action against the site is hardly possible, because she hides behind a fictitious address in the Netherlands.

The planned organization of the event on school grounds had led to strong media attention, as the management of the school backed down was: The approval of the event had taken place under the condition that 'stand the nature of the meeting in accordance with Catholic Christian values', said director Ann Rebgetz. Immediately after the school administration was made aware of the contents of the event was, therefore, the commitment is withdrawn. Even David Hutton, Executive Director for Catholic Education, hastened to assure that 'the Catholic Church any kind of firm opposition to homophobia and homophobes have no place for the dissemination of the theses would'.
This now leads to protests by the President of the Miracle Christian Center, speaking in his turn of discrimination. "We are not homophobic. Many of us once had a homosexual lifestyle," he complained to the press. They have no fear of homosexuals, they would rather love - and take care of them for years. Sure, my critics: after all, one would just have been trying for years to "heal" these people "with homosexual lifestyle."

After a kiss homophobic pizzeria owner throws gay patrons out of his establishment.
Have the 20-year-old and his 21-year-old friend "kissed and groped intense 'and would' have been asked politely not to do so" due to guest complaints only reason? Or was it 'just a little kiss' traded and had overreacted to the CEO? A local reference in St. Gallen provides at least for tremendous excitement.
The 20-year-old Sandra H., his friend and his mother visited on Sunday afternoon, a pizzeria in St. Gallen. To enjoy a pizza, it would not come, because, as Sandra H. had, the two gay men kissed before yet. Then would come the Managing Director of the pizzeria and had the two friends rebuked. 'This is a decent place', is the man and the couple would have meant the kissing stopped immediately. When Sandro's mother then had meant that a kissing straight couple but also would be 'no problem', the round of the premises had been made. Sandro felt discriminated against and turned to the Swiss newspaper 20 minutes, turned it into a story.
Not true, however, claimed Vincenc L., deputy managing director and son of the allegedly homophobic Italian: You have not against gays. In the pizzeria were all regardless of sexual feeling, or skin color, welcome. Sandro H. was solely made of the premises, because he - or rather his mother - would become "loud and abusive 'towards the manager of the pub and' shown the middle finger 'to the CEO would. "Such conduct must be located in their own premises have not fallen. No matter whether by heterosexuals, gays or lesbians," says Vincenz. To prove quasi that they had in the pizzeria nothing against homosexuals would get in April every homosexual couple free a glass of Prosecco.
'have shown the middle finger' that his mother, the manager, and Sandra H. dispute does not. That would have been only when the rounds of the premises already had been made. Also do not agree so again, insists Vincenc L. The group would not have been made of the premises, but would have the place for 'the incident' to leave voluntarily. Whose version of history right now in fact can be ascertained no more likely. On the one hand, anyone who has met once already to a group of Italians, to confirm that they are not necessarily 'the least' count. On the other hand, proved by the undisputed fact that Sandro's mother had shown the middle finger, not necessarily the behavior of a 'fine lady'. The fact is that the story stirred up much dust. Facebook groups with boycott calls were established zugepostet the guestbook of the pizzeria with negative comments. Even a vigil outside the pizzeria do up some. For the pizza host has the story certainly an economic loss as a result, it provides comfortable with homosexuals to heterosexuals not necessarily for additional 'sympathy'. Suited to combat homophobia and prejudice, it is not safe. Whether you 'settle' the matter 'not therefore might have been different?
