Nonheterosexual (cf. GLBT) Youth Suffer Disproportionately

I just received a link aboutĀ and am a bit frightened by the results of this major scientific study released today by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study isĀ “Criminal-Justice and School Sanctions Against Nonheterosexual Youth: A National Longitudinal Study,” and their major finding is “Nonheterosexual youth suffer disproportionate educational and criminal-justice punishments that are not explained by greater engagement in illegal or transgressive behaviors.”

Take a read of it yourself; the PDF is freely available on their website.

Holiday in Paris, 2010

I finally finished uploading the pictures I took while we were in Paris for vacation / holiday at the beginning of September, 2010. This was the third leg in our rapid trip after a day each in Munich and Zurich. Paris really is a most magical place, and while this was not my first time there, it was the first time I ever slowed down enough to really enjoy the city.
