In a blog post about how not to be “Ugly by Accident,” spurring users to be more particular about the kinds of photos they post of themselves on their profiles, online dating giant OKCupid threw in a chart or two about how iPhone users have more sex partners than those who use Blackberry or Android.
Whether it’s a statement on socioeconomic status, or just a random sampling with improper causation applied, the findings ignited a blogosphere fire. Techies on the Internet who dispute the findings are calling for Android users to: “Go out and have sex!” (Now that’s one call to arms we can get behind.)
In other calls, the Mexican Supreme Court decided that all of its 31 states must follow the footsteps of gay-and-lesbian-friendly Mexico City—and grant same sex couples legal marriages nationwide. “What’s going to happen to a same-sex couple when they cross the border?” asked Justice Arturo Zaldívar, who voted with the majority. “Does this marriage disappear? They go on vacation and they’re no longer married?” The Court ruled earlier this month that Mexico City’s marriage laws were constitutional, and struck down a bid that other states need not honor those commitments.
At the same time, the American Bar Association has made it’s own commitment, having recently called on all state legislatures in the U.S. to allow same-sex marriage. Our country’s largest professional legal group voted overwhelmingly on the resolution during its annual meeting—with only one member opposed. With an army of lawyers calling for same-sex marriage legalization, we’d say that declaration should certainly hold up in court.
