Minority populations receive a lower quality healthcare in part due to the inadequate assessment of, and cultural adaptations to meet, their culturally informed healthcare needs. The seven million American Muslims, while ethnically and racially diverse, share religiously informed healthcare values that influence their expectations of healthcare. There is limited empirical research on this community's preferences for cultural modifications in healthcare delivery.
Identify healthcare accommodations requested by American Muslims.
Using community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods, we partnered with four community organizations in the Greater Detroit area to design and conduct thirteen focus groups at area mosques serving African American, Arab American, and South Asian American Muslims. Qualitative content analysis utilized a framework team-based approach.
Participants reported stigmatization within the healthcare system and voiced the need for culturally competent healthcare providers. In addition, they identified three key healthcare accommodations to address Muslim sensitivities: the provision of (1) gender-concordant care, (2) halal food and (3) a neutral prayer space. Gender concordance was requested based on Islamic conceptions of modesty and privacy. Halal food was deemed to be health-promoting and therefore integral to the healing process. Lastly, a neutral prayer space was requested to ensure security and privacy during worship.
This study informs efforts to deliver high-quality healthcare to American Muslims in several ways. We note three specific healthcare accommodations requested by this community and the religious values underlying these requests. Healthcare systems can further cultural sensitivity, engender trust, and improve the healthcare experiences of American Muslims by understanding and then attempting to accommodate these values as much as possible.
Minority patient populations experience multiple challenges during clinical encounters, thus influencing the quality of care they receive.1,2 Differences between the patient and provider in language, cultural and medical values, as well as economic or social circumstances, may present obstacles. At a more macro-level, hospital-level services such as spiritual care departments and food services also influence the quality of the healthcare experience. Both the quality of patient–provider relationships and healthcare system services may then affect healthcare-seeking patterns and contribute to population-level healthcare disparities.
In discussions of healthcare quality, cultural competence and patient-centered care are championed as means to reduce healthcare disparities by improving how patients are cared for within the healthcare system. Cultural competence is a "set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or amongst professionals and enables them to work effectively in cross-cultural situations."3,4 Integral to cultural competence is the "capacity to identify, understand, and respect the values and beliefs of others."5 Cultural competence training improves provider attitudes toward minority patients, enhances cross-cultural communication skills, and fosters more stable therapeutic alliances.5 At a system-level, cultural competency programs along with patient-centered models of care ensure that patient values are respected and that medical complications stemming from cultural differences are reduced through reasonable healthcare accommodations.5,6
Little is known about healthcare disparities facing American Muslims and about the type of cultural tailoring of healthcare desired by this community. Although there are an estimated seven million Muslims in the US bound together by a shared religious tradition that informs cultural values around healthcare, the community is comprised of multiple ethnic groups that each have their own immigration history.7–10 Thus, the few empirical medical studies conducted within this community largely focus on specific subgroups and often overlook the influence of their shared religion in the patterning of health behaviors. To address this gap in knowledge, we delineate healthcare accommodations requested by American Muslims of different ethnic and national backgrounds and the values underpinning these requests. We define healthcare accommodations as adaptations made by the healthcare system in the manner or structure of healthcare delivery that respond to patient cultural or religious values. Understanding and addressing these patient values and needs may positively influence both healthcare experiences and future healthcare-seeking behaviors.
We conducted this study in the greater metropolitan Detroit area, home to one of the longest-standing and largest populations of American Muslims in the United States, estimated to number around 200,000 persons.11–13
Our study utilized a conceptual model drawn from a series of models that considered the influences of culture and discrimination upon health behaviors and healthcare disparities (Fig. 1). Illustratively, Kleinman's "cultural construction(s) of clinical reality" speaks to the illness experience being shaped by cultural factors governing perception, labeling, explanation, and valuation of the experience, and by processes embedded in family, social, and cultural bonds.14 Thus, illness is socio-culturally constructed. In this vein, Islam is tied to health through its influence upon Muslim culture, as religious values attach meaning to health and disease as well as health-related experiences and influence cultural practices that manifest in health and healthcare-seeking behaviors. Leiniger's cultural care theory further notes that when patients experience healthcare that is incongruent to their values, the healthcare encounter becomes fraught with cultural conflicts and ethical dilemmas.15 Thus, Muslim patients may have religiously informed expectations of the healthcare encounter which if inadequately assessed or accommodated create poor clinical experiences or are perceived as discrimination. These experiences may then lead to delayed healthcare-seeking or altered health behaviors. Thus, as supported by the Institute of Medicine's seminal report entitled "Unequal Treatment", mistrust in the healthcare system, prior experiences of discrimination and lack of clinical accommodation affect patient health experiences and healthcare-seeking behaviors.16 We posit that these mechanisms also play a role in potential healthcare disparities amongst American Muslims.
We used a community-based participatory research model and partnered with four community organizations in the area: two umbrella organizations representing 35 Muslim organizations including 25 mosques, an American Muslim policy institute, and an Arab community health organization. Representatives from these organizations, along with a multidisciplinary investigative team, comprised a steering committee that guided all phases of the project.17 This project was approved by the University of Michigan Institutional Review Board.
Between December 2009 and March 2010, we conducted 13 focus groups with adults at seven mosques within the Greater Detroit-area chosen purposefully to achieve representation of both male and female Arab Americans, South Asian Americans, and African Americans. As our aim was to better understand the religious influences on healthcare, mosque-based recruitment was chosen as a proxy for self-identification with Islam and a base level of religiosity among participants. Each mosque governed the manner in which recruitment occurred; thus, a variety of methods including advertisements and announcements at mosques, flyers on community boards and listservs, and personal contact by mosque representatives were employed. Focus groups lasted approximately 1.5 hours and were segmented by gender and language (Arabic vs. English), and moderated by a multi-lingual, gender-concordant member of the investigative team. At the conclusion of the focus group, participants were asked to consider changes they would make in the healthcare setting to improve the Muslim healthcare experience and then to decide on the top three healthcare accommodations from the list generated.
Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. As respondents mixed Arabic and English, Arabic terms were translated by a bilingual team member and verified for accuracy by a second bilingual team member. The one focus group conducted entirely in Arabic was translated by a professional translation company and verified for accuracy by a bilingual team member. Qualitative content analysis utilized a framework team-based approach facilitated by the QSR NVivo 8 software (QSR International, 2009). Common themes were identified by drawing on principles of grounded theory, including constant comparison of participant responses and inductive identification of themes from the data using a team-based approach. An iterative inductive coding process was utilized by four team members, and disagreements were resolved through consensus building team meetings. Two analysts (AK and KG) compiled a list of the top three accommodations selected by each focus group across healthcare settings. Where focus groups combined one or more accommodations into a single larger category, these were decoupled in order to correctly tally accommodations, and where different terms were used to denote the same accommodation, a singular term was used. The most commonly appearing accommodations were grouped thematically during team meetings while reviewing focus group transcripts for the rationale behind the accommodation requests. For further rigor, we reviewed transcripts to enumerate healthcare accommodations that were mentioned but did not make the top-three designation. The three most commonly mentioned healthcare accommodations which were also amongst the top-three accommodations are reported below (Table 1). The validity of our findings is enhanced by rigorous codebook development, the use of a group consensus process that included reflexive discussion of the data to develop findings, and by employing a multi-disciplinary research team including community members.
Table 2 provides an overview of the relevant characteristics of focus group participants. Seven female and six male focus groups were held with between four and twelve participants. Four groups contained predominately Arab participants, three hosted mainly South Asian respondents, and two comprised of only African American participants. The remaining four focus groups consisted of participants of two or more ethnicities.
Healthcare accommodations, i.e. cultural adaptations that would make patients more comfortable in the healthcare setting, were discussed in the context of advancing patient-centered and culturally sensitive care. In nearly all of the focus group discussions, participants discussed the importance of cultural competency programming and used multiple terms interchangeably as they described the need for "cultural sensitivity," "cultural awareness," and "cultural sensitivity training." Participants hoped that cultural competency programs would lead to (1) a greater understanding of Islam and Muslim culture, thus strengthening the patient–provider relationship as providers are more attuned to patient values and practices, and (2) improved Muslim experiences within the healthcare system as culturally sensitive adaptations would reduce barriers to, and challenges within, healthcare.
During these discussions, participants highlighted their experiences with providers who lacked knowledge about and respect for their Islamic faith. "A lot of doctors ask really basic things and you're kind of like . . . they should already (know) that stuff…" one participant complained, while another added, "It's not as if the patient . . . has to say . . . pay attention, I am a Muslim woman and I have this modesty issue. . . the nurse should be culturally sensitive." Although participants felt that cultural competency was the responsibility of both providers and patients, there was a general expectation that providers should undergo cultural-sensitivity training to learn the basics, and patients can then teach particulars. By assigning responsibility for cultural competency to the healthcare system, participants felt relieved of the burden to educate their providers about Islam during every healthcare encounter.
Cultural competency efforts and patient-centered care are especially important because Muslim patients may feel unwelcome in the healthcare system. Illustratively, one participant stated, "doctors and nurses . . . everybody . . . looks at you like (a) stranger or like you will be a problem for them." Another noted, "I think we all know of stories where due to someone having an accent or . . . appearing Muslim . . . that sometimes the doctors may be more blunt with you, or . . . belittle you, or not . . . give you the time of day."
Participants stated that Muslim patients run the risk of being treated negatively by providers when requesting accommodations for their religious and cultural beliefs. One participant shared her experience with a male doctor who became upset after she expressed her preference for a female gynecologist. Another participant said her doctor became angry when she requested that he speak to her from behind the curtain as she was disrobed. At times, participants said, providers may not take requests for accommodations seriously, "think(ing) it's a big joke . . . or a bunch of old-fashioned foolishness they don't want to be bothered with." Participants also noted an undercurrent of discrimination, noting that other groups receive religious considerations that they do not: "Why don't (they) go the extra mile with . . . Muslims? . . . (Our) needs are very tiny . . . What's the big deal?"
Participants noted that providers who acknowledge and respect their religious beliefs are more likely to be trusted and their recommendations adhered to. Summing up this theme, a participant shared:
When the nurse . . . tells you . . . I respect your religion . . . immediately, I will have trusted her. . . That's half of the work of being a healthcare giver . . . to get the trust of the patient. When the patient trusts you…he will be compliant with care.
Within the 13 focus groups, multiple items were noted as a top-three healthcare accommodation. The most common healthcare accommodations were: (1) Gender-concordant care, (2) Halal food and (3) Neutral space for prayer. (Table 1) Gender-concordance was discussed in the context of both inpatient and outpatient settings, while halal food and a neutral prayer space were requested in the hospital. (additional quotes in Table 3)
American Muslims are a fast-growing, under-studied, and underserved minority. While ethnically and racially diverse, their shared faith brings forth common concerns and challenges within the healthcare setting. Our focus group participants from African American, Arab American and South Asian American Muslims in Metro Detroit provide a consistent message: Providers need to be aware of Islamic values and should work toward cultural competence by accommodating these values when possible. When asked to offer specific recommendations of how healthcare systems can improve the Muslim healthcare experience, participants prioritized three items: (1) allowing for gender-concordant care providers as much as possible; (2) providing halal food in the hospital; and (3) allocating a neutral space for prayer. The preference for gender-concordant care stems from Islamic conceptions of modesty and was noted to influence healthcare seeking patterns. Halal food was believed to be health-promoting and integral to convalescence. The need for a neutral prayer space was advanced given the discomfort patients felt and challenges they faced while praying in the hospital. Thus, our participants addressed specific ways in which healthcare systems can improve the quality of American Muslim healthcare experiences, and to our knowledge is the first account where a multi-ethnic and multi-racial group of American Muslims were asked to identify and prioritize healthcare accommodations.
Our respondents mentioned how cultural accommodations may influence healthcare-seeking behaviors, particularly in discussions of gender-concordant care, as some participants choose providers—and delay healthcare-seeking—based on availability of same-sex providers. Discussions of gender relations were most prominent in our female focus groups; however, both men and women noted these challenges, confirming findings from Afghan, Somali, South Asian and other Muslim groups.18–22 Our findings reinforce prior research demonstrating that lack of provision for some type of gender-concordant care leads to delayed healthcare-seeking within this community.19,22–24 While in the outpatient and non-urgent setting, it may be possible to choose a physician based on a gender preference, in the hospital setting, or for urgent and specialized medical conditions, greater challenges exist. It is unclear how healthcare systems and individual providers respond to patient requests for gender concordant care. A few hospitals have responded to modesty concerns by implementing knock, wait, and enter policies, and by providing more modest patient gowns.25,26However, some Muslim women note that providers may misinterpret their concern for modesty as shame for their bodies.21 Thus, the extent to which gender preferences and modesty concerns influence Muslim patient behaviors, as well as how healthcare providers can best respond to these needs, merit further investigation.
Hospitals have a long-standing history of accommodating patient preferences for food and allocating space to meet the spiritual needs of patients. The absence of such accommodations for Muslim patients within hospitals is multi-factorial, and our work suggests several possible reasons. One reason may be that Muslim patients are reticent to voice or advocate for their needs. Our focus group participants felt burdened at times in having to constantly educate healthcare providers about their values, and noted that cultural competency was a shared responsibility between the patient and the provider. The reservation against advocating for religious accommodations may further be compounded by uneasiness in drawing attention to their faith and mistrust of providers in the post-9/11 social climate.27 The healthcare administration may consider existing food services such as Kosher or vegetarian, and hospital chapels, to be sufficient for Muslim patient needs. Yet research notes that tailored food services and spiritual care delivery are gaps within hospital-based cultural accommodations common to many different groups.21,28 Thus, a need exists for dialogue between hospital administrators and community leaders. Such initiatives will allow for a better assessment of community needs and preferences, identify gaps in current healthcare delivery, and enhance trust and communication. Future studies should aim to assess the influence of such initiatives and established hospital-based cultural accommodations upon healthcare-seeking patterns.
Our findings are strengthened by our use of a community-based approach to recruitment, sampling from multiple segments of the American Muslim community, using languages preferred by participants in focus groups, and a qualitative research design. However, there are some clear limitations. Our data represent the voices of those members of the Greater Detroit Muslim community that attend mosques. This community is notable in that it is large and well-established with significant social capital. Yet a mosque-based recruitment strategy introduces selection bias toward members of the American Muslim community who have a stronger or more formal religious framework. As such, our work may not be generalizable across the breadth of American Muslim community and in particular to less religious segments of the population. However, precisely due to the long-history and large number of the Greater Detroit Muslim community, this work represents a first approximation to better understand American Muslim values and needs.
Lastly, our work suggests the need for further empirical and normative research. Developing and validating Islam-based measures of religiosity is integral to exploring associations between religion and health behaviors, and these efforts are still in preliminary stages.29 To gauge the generalizability of our findings, next steps should include gaining views from multiple Muslim communities and from Muslims with varying levels of religious adherence.
Enhancing cultural competency and providing patient-centered care are means by which healthcare inequities may be ameliorated. These efforts aim to inculcate attitudes at the provider-level that facilitate cross-cultural communication and respond to patient needs by tailoring healthcare. The same ethos applies at the healthcare system level where community needs are better understood and met by culturally sensitive healthcare accommodations and structural modifications in healthcare delivery. While we report on American Muslim values and preferences for healthcare accommodation, our work may have greater implications for minority health in general. The study of one underserved community may yield generalizable knowledge applicable to a larger group of minority populations, and a targeted intervention for one group may lead to benefits for people outside of this group. For example, understanding the need for culturally appropriate food provision within the hospital for Muslim patients may shine light on this unmet need of other communities. Similarly, developing more modest patient gowns sensitive to Muslim patient concerns may benefit others who feel patient gowns are too revealing.
In conclusion, our study informs efforts to deliver high-quality healthcare to American Muslims in several ways. Understanding the values underlying these requests for healthcare improvement and the challenges stemming from lack of accommodations will inform efforts at improving cultural competence and providing culturally sensitive healthcare.

Cassey, I LOVE this video! I wasn't blessed with the "dance" talent so your encouragement to "just have fun" because no one is watching… that really helped me to break out of my shell and dance in front of my own self. I usually beat myself up about how I suck at dancing, but I just followed you. Even when I got off beat, I didn't just give up like I normally do, I forgave myself and jumped right back in. I had so much fun doing it that I had to rewind the video and do it again. This is just my first day doing POPlaties with you, but I really liked it! I hope that this is the year I can finally transform my body.
OMG! My butt is trying to run away from me right now!

Hello, I really love the second song played in the fat destroyer video, can anyone tell me who it is sung by or the artist please, would mean a lot x
Its Kiss You by One Direction!
Does anyone else get headaches and dizzy when you do intense cardio? It makes me feel like I should stop. The other day I pushed through it for a while and then afterwards I had to lie on the ground for at least ten minutes before I could get up and feel ok.
I use to get dizzy too, when I first started. Now I dont get dizzy, soon your body will adjust to hard workouts. Just take it easy, take breaks and drink lots of water! keep going! :)
Hey Cassey,
I hope you're having an excellent day. Just thought I'd let you know these links to the cardio vids are still unresponsive.
I still love you :) haha I'll just search them on the tube for now I guess!

is it possible to have a public method that returns multiple values and then later call that method only retrieving the value that you want?
public static string Values()
string length = DAL.Util.getlength();
string Name = DAL.Util.getName(ddlID.SelectedValue);
return length + Name;
now I know if I were to call this method just by saying
string a = Values();
it would return the concatenated string of both length and Name, but is there anyway to call just a specific variable from that method even if it were 10 variables long?
Thanks for any advice and help you can provide.

Standing on the floor of the Democratic National Convention was surreal. I am a formerly undocumented immigrant whose parents remain undocumented. And yet here, I was on the floor of a national political convention as it kicked off Monday.

I wonder why it is that his bilingualism is being celebrated while the bilingualism of the Latinx community continues to be policed and denigrated.
According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 76 percent of Latinos support Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Only 14 percent of Latinos said they back Trump.
This week is the third annual Latino Conservation Week, a chance for Latinos all across the country to demonstrate their passion for enjoying and protecting public lands. Few places is that passion more evident than here in California.
Why does Donald Trump publicly insult other candidates and political leaders mercilessly? Quite simply, because he knows he can win an onstage TV insult game. In strict conservative eyes, that makes him a formidable winning candidate who deserves to be a winning candidate.
For a while now, I've been thinking about how terms like "white privilege," "inclusion" and "unconscious bias" all sound just... too nice. Don't they seem a little on the pleasant side for words used to address a system of racist oppression?

Re:think 2014 - Great. But Don't Blink
Gabe Samuels
, March 26, 2014, 8:00 AM
First impressions, as we all know, are the ones that count. My first impression of this year's annual ARF conference is: "Hey, this is not the ARF of old." Not that the ARF of old was bad, it's just that this year's event is different. In several ways. The most noticeable difference was that in the past, you could blink. A few times... without missing much. This is decidedly not true today.
Today, and this explains the title of this piece, the sheer volume of presentations, talks, conversations and panels is nothing short of staggering. The program was fast-paced, well-planned, consisting of quality material and flawlessly executed. So far, so good. But remember! If you blinked, you might have missed something interesting, or useful, or both. Personally, and I hope (but know better), I am overwhelmed. I did bump into a few friends in the halls who seemed lost. .. not being able to decide where to go next. Do you remember what it was like to be a kid in a toy store?
And something else was decidedly different: the style!
Attendees at previous years' Re:think conferences have been treated to entertaining music and graphics — but this year it was really different. With few exceptions, presenters took center stage, freely walking around, without a visible mike, informally engaging the audience rather than standing woodenly behind podiums. Additionally, not that I am a fashion buff, but didn't both men and women dress better? Or, at least, a lot more interestingly?
But there is more! The content, (well.. most of it) was highly targeted and to say the least, shovel-ready useful when attendees get back to their desks. I'll not give away the material, you should have come. But I can't resist pointing to some truly interesting remarks that made attending a rewarding experience.
Starting with Gayle Fuguitt, the ARF CEO, celebrating her first anniversary as chief today, set the pace and the tone with enthusiasm and energy in her opening, welcome remarks. Gayle noted the obvious that the times "they are changing" and the not so obvious, the need to change the role and the focus of the market researcher of the future. Research, she said — and I paraphrase — needs to be re-invented, so the three days of the conference are sharply focused on the three priorities facing us: consumer engagement, rethinking ideas and rethinking the skills needed to act on them.
Gayle's opening was not an easy act to follow. But Soledad O'Brian interview of Keith Reinhard came close. True to form, Keith did not mince words. To a packed audience of researchers he reiterated The Creative Mantra that it's all about Emotions (the capitalization is mine...) and that the winning (M)ad Man and successful advertising come from The Gut, not from research. Research, he said in answer to a question, is useful to gain "insights." But truly great ads originate in the right side of the brain. And now, a full disclosure note: he didn't actually say those things that I attribute to him – but that's what I heard.
Later, I enjoyed another Keynote talk by Carolyn Everson. She provided convincing evidence of the importance of mobile — not that anyone needed convincing — but it was interesting to hear that Facebook had no revenues from mobile two years ago, and today mobile account for one half the advertising revenues. It was equally, if not more interesting, to learn how this came to be the case. Mark Zuckerberg apparently refuses to talk to anybody, or listen to any ideas, unless they are shown on a mobile device. So that is how it's done.

type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: {"id":12345,"strings":["onestring"],"trueFalse":false,"anotherString":"Woo String","anotherTrueFalse":false},
//Success/Error handlers here
Now, the issue I'm seeing is this: Regardless of the data being sent,
anotherString and
anotherTrueFalse are all being bound correctly when I debug my controller action and inspect the parameters being bound to my action.
The issue is with
strings: if I send a JSON array with a single string (as above), it never gets bound to the
IEnumerable<string> in my action. If I send something like this instead:
"strings":["onestring", "twostring"]
Then it gets bound properly as an
IEnumerable with two entries.
What's going on here, what am I missing?
Note: I've just been trying to get the mapping to work first so it's still a bit messy. I'll be cleaning this up by putting all five of these properties into a view model so I have just one object being bound here - this may resolve the issue altogether. But still, it's curious to me that this doesn't work when the JSON array only has one entry.
Addendum 1: In my AJAX above, that's essentially what's being sent in the request to the server, but I'm actually building that object and then passing it to JSON.stringify -- just attempting to make the problem statement as simple as possible. What you see is what the browser sends to the controller action.
Addendum 2: Placing all of these properties into their own view model has cleaned things up a bit, but the binding issues still remain. Also, switching from
IEnumerable<string> to
string[] also exhibits the same issues, so there is something I am fundamentally missing about how MVC performs model binding for us.

Obama meets with family of slain TSA officer
LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Barack Obama has visited with the family of a Transportation Security Administration officer who was killed at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says Obama gathered with relatives of officer Gerardo Hernandez at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Monday. Obama was in Los Angeles to attend Democratic Party fundraisers.
Obama also met with TSA agents Tony Grigsby and James Speer, both of whom were wounded in the shootings.
On Nov. 1, a gunman pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and shot the TSA officers. Hernandez died from his wounds. Authorities have said 23-year-old Paul Ciancia (see-AHN'-see-uh) had a vendetta against the federal government and was targeting TSA officers.
Hernandez had a wife, Ana, and a 14-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.

Colombia: Pro-equality protests as Senate votes on same-sex marriage bill
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I wish some of these bigots would enlighten the rest of us as to which countries exactly, that have legalised same sex marriage, also have made necrophilia or bestiality legal as well.
I know plenty of countries where bestiality occurs and same sex marriage is illegal, like the US and Australia.
Well I dont know American laws on bestiality but Australia does actually ban it.. Its not banned on some islands off Australia though (which is 'technically' still owned by Australia but they govern themselves..)
Bestiality is legal in Germany while same sex marriages are not. In fact there are even 'erotic zoos' where pervy types can indulge their fantasies. There is talk of criminalising bestiality in Germany however.
Not very hopeful on this. It seems the votes are there to kill it. The Senate President was caught a few days ago promising an evangelical leader that he would never let such a measure pass.
If it fails then same sex marriage will be law in the country by June anyway. They're not going to gain anything by killing the bill although I suppose they can shrug their shoulders when SSM comes in and say it's not their fault.
Indeed. The politicians cannot block it. They can either make it look like they support equality or they can ignore the issue and have it become law by default.
No, same sex marriage doesn't come in. All the legal rights do. Hence why notaries are passing around a civil unions bill among themselves because it is an open secret that the deadline will be missed to conclusively pass an explicit same sex marriage law.
If absolutely nothing is passed by June then couples can go to a notary and register for the raft of rights.
Ah I see. Misunderstanding on my part, sorry. I had assumed that the court had set the same terms as the Supreme Court of Massachusetts did ie legislate for marriage or it'll come in anyway on the same terms as straight people.
I guess the full rights are going to have to be enough for now then but hopefully the Colombian Congress will get their act together sooner rather than later.
The court has ruled in favour of it, which means it will be legal unless there is a constitutional amendment passed, which will require a supermajority.
This is merely a symbolic setback for the country but Colombia will still become the 15th country to allow equal marriage
Uruguay, New Zealand, France, come on Colombia, let's make it four in a month!
Well if they dont, on the bright side it will give us (England and Wales anyway) the chance to be #15!
I like 15, its a nice number!

Former Prime Minister again defends decision and insists it was taken 'out of good motives'
A source thought to have 'phenomenal access' to Iraqi regime was eventually labelled a liar by MI6
Jeremy Corbyn says UK should 'support giving the International Criminal Court the power to prosecute those responsible for the crime of military aggression'
Andy McSmith on the former Prime Minister's press conference in the wake of the release of the Chilcot report
'The report concludes there were no lies' says Blair. No, but it does reveal a letter to George Bush, in mid-2002, that says 'I will be with you, whatever'
The Chilcot report specifically states that Blair had been warned this could happen, in great detail
'The decision to go to war in Iraq has been a stain on our party and our country'
What's the difference between Iraqi WMDs that don't exist, 45-minute warnings that are falsities, 70,000 non-existent Syrian "moderates" and a fictitious NHS windfall of millions if Britain left the EU?
The famous 'I will be with you, whatever' line turns out to be followed by a 'But…'
Official report delivers scathing verdict of military intervention that 'went badly wrong'
Tony Blair's government had a policy of attacking journalists ('rapid rebuttal') who questioned its Iraq policy, especially in regards to weapons of mass destruction
Mr Campbell said the report's core findings had 'laid to rest' a string of allegations made by Mr Blair's critics

An Interferometer Microphone
The Brownian or thermal noise limit has been reached up to frequencies of about 50 kHz in air using an axially symmetrical two-beam interferometer whose pellicle beamsplitter bulges under sound pressure. Frequency spectra of the Brownian noise observed in hydrogen, air, and CC12F2 are shown to be correlated to cavity resonant modes (or echoes) within the microphone.
