Learn Beginner Spanish

Learn Beginner Spanish

1) Learn to speak Spanish without breaking the bank!

Every year people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on language learning tools attempting to learn to speak Spanish as quickly as possible. What do you think they would say if you could prove to them that they were wasting their money?

2) Become confident enough in your abilities that you can handle yourself comfortably in any situation

The problem with most of the formal language learning tools currently available on the market is that they are intended for travelers. That is all fine and good if you are travelling to a foreign country and just need to learn enough of the language to find your way to the train station and back without finding yourself the hostage of the little green men because you have become so lost that you have actually wandered out of earth’s orbit, but it doesn’t do you much good if you are attempting to discuss day to day events!

Hate crime and gender discrimination rampant

A large number of tragic losses of life have recently come to public attention in lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and transgender communities and sadly, there are also daily acts of hate, bias and discrimination that go unnoticed or unreported. The LGBTQ Center has called upon all members of the public to stand up to these acts.

As many as 7 children aged between 11 and 18 have died recently at the hands of others or by their own hand after suffering from harassment based on their gender identity.

People who participate in or fail to intervene in these extreme acts of intolerance base on their perception of another person’s known sexual identity, gender identity or gender expression only serve to perpetuate these hateful crimes and senseless and unnecessary loss of life.

In order to deal with the root cause of gender or sex based hate and discrimination, it is vital that there be continuing education, open and frank discussion and that successful intervention strategies be developed and implemented before it is too late for other young people who find themselves in similar circumstances. Youth must know that they can lead productive and happy lives and at the same time, feel free to express their sexual orientation and gender identity. It is time for an end to hate crime, rampant bigotry and open harassment.

It is hoped that these recent incidents serve as a call to action for all people who interact with youth who struggle to openly express their sexual identity and that we can see an end to mindless violence and self harm by individuals literally terrorized by hate and discrimination based on ignorance and lack of education.

There are resources in your local communities able and willing to help and if you know a young person affected by discrimination and bias based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, take action and intervene before it is too late. We must all strive to make the world a more welcoming, accepting and harmonious environment for all regardless of age, sex, gender, orientation or sexual preference.

Gender Identity - Gender Reassignment - New Equality Legislation in UK

Many provisions of the Equality Act 2010 come into force in the United Kingdom on 1 October 2010.

The Act was one of the last pieces of legislation to be enacted under the Labour Government and represents the culmination of years of lobbying by equality campaigners in the United Kingdom. The Equality Act 2010 will apply in England, Wales and Scotland.  Northern Ireland does not come under the scheme of the Act as the Northern Ireland Assembly has power to legislate in this area.

The provisions that came into force today include:

• Changing the definition of gender reassignment, by removing the requirement for medical supervision.
• Extending protection in private clubs to sex, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity, and gender reassignment.

The Act is an important innovation in the UK in taking a holistic approach to equality law – where a single body is charged with monitoring and enforcement.  The preexisting UK patchwork equality regime was very complex and difficult to navigate, it is therefore intended that this single Act will make the equality laws clearer and deliver greater compliance.  Importantly the Act clarifies the definitions of harassment, discrimination and victimization and applies them across all of the protected grounds in the Act.  The legislation represents the evolution of equality law in the UK from a formal equality model to a substantive equality model that addresses not only direct discrimination but also more subtle incidences of indirect discrimination, harassment and victimization.

Equality in the workplace - Gender Bias

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation (HRC) released its 2010 Corporate Equality Index report on the 1^st of October 2010.

Northrop Grumman Corporation, a leading global security company which employs over 120,000 people and which provides innovative systems, products, and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services to government and commercial customers worldwide was among 337 companies to receive the top score this year from HRC, the nation's leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans gender (LGBT) civil-rights organization.

A spokesperson for Northrop Grumman Corporation advised that workers are protected from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression because of their employers' policies on diversity and inclusion, training and benefits. Federal law does not protect employees from discrimination based on real or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation, although many cities, counties and states have such protections. Similarly, employer-based health insurance benefits typically do not cover LGBT workers and their families.
