The Argentine Government promulgated homosexual marriage law in a climate of celebration

in a folding chair, round by the sixth row of the room, Carlos Álvarez-the eternal dreadlocks Uruguayan married when there was not yet authorized by law, "nervous leg moved. Among the hands pressed her red notebook. Walter hugged her partner, designer Roberto Piazza, for photographers. From his neck hung a crucifix of diamonds. Maria Rachid and Cesar Cigliutti, the two activities that were exposed to the thorny cross television, opened the plates were going to deliver to the President, the closed, cleaned them with a fist, open again. What was to start was the act of promulgating the gay marriage law, passed by Congress last week, which takes effect with publication in the Official Gazette.
In the first row, Pepe Cibrian, Enrique Pinti and Vilma Ibarra, one of the authors of the project, when the room sat Patriots Bicentennial "was still empty. The chair that stood between them and actress Florencia Peña was going to end up occupying Nestor Kirchner. A few rows back, Hebe de Bonafini embraced with Cigliutti (President of the Comunidad Homosexual) while-aisle-by Estela de Carlotto talked to actress Esther Goris. To the right of the dais, eight ministers, including Juan Manzur, in the center of the controversy over abortion (see page 28), they settled on red velvet chairs. In front of an audience (and camera) were placed the chief of staff, Aníbal Fernández, Senator Jose Pampuro and three governors: the fueguina Fabiana Ríos, Tucumán and Santiago del Estero Alperovich José Gerardo Zamora.
The hundreds of activists lined after waiting and crowded the hallways erupted when Cristina Fernandez signed the enactment of the law.
"Today we are a more egalitarian society than last week," said the President, following the debate from China. "Miles had won the same rights that I had," said he had thought when they voted for the law. Cigliutti presented with a plaque: "26 years of fighting discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation and gender identity." Then it was the turn of the Federation gay. "Not for me the distinction, but for the militants in this cause," said Cristina.

GENETIC SIMILARITY STUDIES SHOW THE JEWS
Published: June 9, 2010
Jewish communities in Europe and the Middle East share many genes inherited from the ancestral Jewish population that lived in the Middle East a 3000 years ago, even though each community has genes from other sources, usually the country where you live.
That's the conclusion of two new genetic research, the first to use scanning equipment to compare genome-wide many Jewish communities around the world.
A big surprise of both studies is the close genetic of the two Jewish communities in Europe, the Ashkenazi and Sephardic. The Ashkenazim flourished in Northern and Eastern Europe until its destruction by Hitler's regime, and now live mostly in the U.S. and Israel. The Sephardim were exiled from Spain in 1492 and Portugal in 1497 and moved to the Ottoman Empire and North Africa and the Netherlands.
The two genomes investigations extend previous studies based only on the Y chromosome, the genetic element carried by all men. They refute the suggestion made last year by the historian Shlomo Sand in his book "The Invention of the Jewish people" that Jews have no common origin but are a miscellany de pueblos en Europa y Asia Central que se convirtieron al Judaísmo en distintas épocas.
Las comunidades judías de Europa, el Medio Oriente y el Caucazo todas tienen ancestria genética esencial que se retrotrae al Levante; los judíos etíopes y dos comunidades judaicas en India son genéticamente mucho mas cercanas con sus poblaciones anfitrionas.
Las encuestas proveen ricos datos acerca de la ancestria genética que es de gran interés para los historiadores. “Yo estoy constantemente impresionado por la forma en la cual los genetistas se mantienen avanzando con nuevos proyectos e iluminando lo que conocemos de historia,” dijo Lawrence H. Schiffman, un profesor de estudios judaicos en la Universidad New York.
A survey was conducted by Gil Atzmon College of Medicine Albert Einstein and Harry Ostrer, University of New York and appears in the current American Journal of Human Genetics. The other, conducted by Doron M. Behar's Health Care Campus in Haifa and Rambam Richard Villems of the University of Tartu in Estonia, was published in Thursday's issue of Nature.
Dr. Atzmon and Dr. Ostrer have developed a form of demographic events synced from genetic elements shared by different Jewish communities. Their calculations show that the Iraqi and Iranian Jews were separated from other Jewish communities around 2500 years ago. This genetic finding reflects a historical event, the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 587 BC Nebujadnezzar and exile of many Jews there at his capital in Babylon.
shared genetic elements suggest that members of any Jewish community are related to each other as closely as they are cousins \u200b\u200bin the fourth or fifth grade in a large population, which is about 10 times higher than the relationship between two persons elected randomly in the streets of New York, said Dr. Atzmon.
Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews are about 30% of European ancestry, with most of the rest of the Middle East, concluded the two investigations. The two communities seem very similar to each other genetically, which is unexpected because they have been separated for so long.
One explanation is that they come from the same source of Jewish population in Europe. Atzmon, Ostrer team found that the genomic signature of the Ashkenazi and Sephardic was very similar to that of Italian Jews, suggesting that an ancient population in northern Italy of Jews married to Italians could have been a common origin. The Ashkenazim are listed first in Northern Europe around 800 AD, but historians suspect they came from Italy.
Another explanation, which can be complementary to the first, is that there was much exchange and intermarriage between the two communities that are expected between the two communities in medieval times.
genetics confirms a trend noted by historians: there was more contact between Ashkenazim and Sephardim who suspected, with Italy as the key exchange, said Aron Rodrigue, a historian at Stanford University.
A common Jewish surname is Italian Morpurgo, which means someone from Marburg in Germany, too, Dr. Rodriguez said, one of the most common names among the Sephardim who settled in the Ottoman Empire Eskenazi, indicating that many Ashkenazim were joined the Sephardic community there.
Both genetic research indicates "that may have common roots shared by the two groups, but also had extensive contacts and arrangements," said Dr. Rodriguez.
The Hebrew could have served as the lingua franca among Ashkenazi community, speaking Idish, and Ladino-speaking Sephardic talking. "When Jews encountered each other, they spoke Hebrew," Dr. Schiffman said, referring to the medieval period.

Sounds That Give You An Erection
Jesus: his religious environment and ours.
Our religious background is very upset. They say we're not in a time of change, but a new era. Before I was born, the Vatican banned ecumenism Vatican II prompted him, and now favors dialogue with other religions.
For almost 20 centuries has prevailed religious exclusivism: "Outside the Church there is no salvation." A mid-twentieth century Karl Rahner included as "anonymous Christians" all men of goodwill who profess other religions.
Today, the octogenarian Cardinal Martini, in his "Talks night in Jerusalem, says," Much more important than a particular religion and a way for me outside that seek God, to do it with sincerity and willing to give him. " But the Vatican is replicated to the old formula exclusive.
How I find my way I? I will go to Jesus and their behavior on their religious background.
Jesus and Judaism: Jesus was a Jew, he practiced his Jewish religion and died a Jew, calling on God with Psalm 22. When a lawyer asked, answered by proclaiming the "Shema Israel", the profession of Jewish faith, that every pious Israelite recited twice daily:
"Hear O Israel, the Lord is the sole Lord and love the Lord your God with whole heart, with all my heart, whole mind, with all your might. "
elevated to Jesus' second commandment, "and" similar to the first "another term from the Jewish tradition:" love thy neighbor as thyself. "
Jesus often quoted the prophets of Israel and explains its mission as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah:
"The Spirit of the Lord rests upon me, because he has anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord. "
However, in citing this passage from Isaiah 61.1-2, short reading and omit the second hemistich the verse "and a day of vengeance for our God." Jesus does not accept the religious view, expressed in many passages of Scripture concerning God's wrath. Jesus at his baptism in the Jordan, saw God as Father. And they described in the parable of the prodigal son.
Jesus knows that the Law of Moses commands that the "men of the city" to stone the adulteress. But he defended shaming the perpetrators, and not condemn. According to the Act would not he have an obligation of clubbing? Jesus lived his Jewish religion with great freedom of conscience and in light of their experience of God as Father.
Jesus and other religions of his time, Jesus gives the example of the behavior of a Samaritan-a schism of Judaism, as an example against priests and lawyers. And the Samaritan woman says
"Believe me, woman: the time is coming that you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem ... but the hour is coming, or, rather, has come, who worship the true worship the Father in spirit and loyalty, for the Father seeks to worship him and men. " Jesus understood
that his mission was going "to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" and saw his miracles a sign that the promises were fulfilled, that had come the Kingdom of God. A Canaanite woman pagan asks you to heal her daughter. Jesus with a common expression in your environment says "not right away the bread to the children and throw it to dogs." The woman, with the greatest humility and confidence, he says "Come, Lord, even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
A pagan woman makes him see that there may be more faith-confidence, in a heathen than in Israel. The miracle occurs and discover Jesus that the Kingdom of God has come to pagans. Did
found a religion?: Christianity is based on Jesus, but Jesus did not found Christianity. The texts speak after the resurrection of instructions to the disciples, to preach throughout the world and to baptize. Many Catholic exegetes agree to consider these stories as midrash, as dramatized explanations, consider that there were no appearances but visions, religious experiences of those first Christians. They, interpreting scripture, understood that God had not allowed the failure of his envoy and "has made Lord and Messiah this Jesus whom you crucified."
That Jesus gave no such instructions, it is clear that the dispute remained the same apostles about the permanence of the Law of Moses and circumcision. As the pagans were embracing the faith, the early Christians had to be discovering new rites and increasingly away from Judaism. The new wine was bursting old bottles.
Conclusions: In every religion there is a tension between prophecy and institution. Jesus as a prophet, instigated a movement that ended up exceeding the institutions of Judaism.
The nascent Christianity was developing new institutions that displaced the prophetic. The initial experiences sought support of Greek philosophy and dogmas were proclaimed. Constantine changed the martyrs of dignitaries of the Empire changed the service authority. In these situations come from the centuries of religious exclusivity.
I think the movement that led Jesus fit the Samaritan woman, the Canaanite, the Roman centurion, the rabbi at our synagogue, the imam of the mosque, the Buddhist or Shinto ... without receiving circumcision or baptism. Not be called Christians, but are children of God and citizens called to live their reign.
As Cardinal Martini says "You can not Catholic God. God is beyond the limits and boundaries put it. " Gonzalo
