A new research study released today by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law shows that allowing same-sex couples to marry in Rhode Island would boost the state budget by more than $1 million over three years.  This net impact would result from an increase in state income and sales tax revenue as well as savings in expenditures on state means-tested public benefit programs.

The world's only conference focusing on the importance of language-broadly defined-in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered life will be held at American University from Friday, February 11, through Sunday, February 13. It will focus on the importance of communication and activism as it relates to sexual identity and orientation.  

 

The Lavender Languages and Linguistic Conference will serve as the launchpad for the creation of the first-ever journal devoted entirely to the study of Language and Sexuality-The Journal of Language and Sexuality. American University's Bill Leap will coedit this international journal with Heiko Moschenbaker of the University of Bayreuth. The first issue is expected in 2012.
