Bishop fined in gay discrimination case
This is an example of a power struggle between religion & secular government. The gay-rights issue is only the latest incarnation of it.

Of Lesbians and Gay Men
You know, I hate to bring this up, but I think that men are still making more money than women. In fact, I believe the statistic is, the average woman is earning 79 cents to the average man's dollar. Now, that is better than it was, but it still is not equitable.
Now, where this is really evident, is in the LGBT community, where the average Lesbian couple is making $1.58 to the average Gay male couple's $2.00. The reason that I am bringing this up, is that I live in a neighborhood that has an unusually high percentage of LGBT people. And, in my neighborhood, most of the Gay men are doing swimmingly better than most of the Lesbian.
I don't have an answer for this. It is just something that I have been noticing.
