Minn. Senate OKs gay marriage; governor to sign

PATRICK CONDON and BRIAN BAKST , The Associated Press Posted: Monday, May 13, 2013, 5:30 PM

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Senate has voted to legalize gay marriage, putting the state on the brink of becoming the 12th to allow same-sex couples to marry.

Monday’s vote sends the bill to Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, who has promised to sign and could do so Tuesday.

The state Senate voted 37-30 to pass the bill. The bill passed the House last week. It allows same-sex weddings beginning Aug. 1.

With Dayton’s signature, Minnesota would be the first Midwestern state where elected representatives voted directly to allow gay marriage. Iowa has had gay marriage since 2009, but that was due to a court ruling.

Just six months ago, Minnesota voters rejected an effort to ban gay marriage in the state constitution.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

Minnesota state senators debated whether to allow gay marriage in this Midwestern state, with a vote in favor expected later Monday to send the bill to the Democratic governor for his promised signature.

“With just a few words, we have the ability to bring families across Minnesota into the full sunshine of equality and freedom,” said the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Scott Dibble, a Minneapolis Democrat.

The measure would grant “civil marriages” to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples starting Aug. 1, making Minnesota the 12th state to legalize gay marriage and the first in the Midwest to pass such a measure out of its legislature. Iowa allows gay weddings due to a 2009 court ruling.

East West Bank’s net profit grew 60% to P735-M in Q1

By Doris C. Dumlao Philippine Daily Inquirer

MANILA, Philippines Gotianun-led East West Bank grew its first quarter net profit by 60 percent to P735 million from a year ago on higher interest margins alongside a surge in fee-based and trading income.

The EastWest engine is running on all cylinders. We have the momentum and we plan to take advantage of the countrys favorable economic climate. We will continue our aggressive infrastructure build-up and business development efforts and further strengthen our governance practices, EWB president Antonio Moncupa said in a press statement.

The bank reported that a strong growth in consumer lending and low-cost funds resulted in further improvement in the net interest margin (NIM) to 8 percent in the first quarter. This NIM level is more than twice the industry average of less than 4 percent.

Fee-based income grew by 27 percent, which was attributed to consumer loans and branch-related transactional fees and charges.

Like most of its peers, EWB took advantage of market opportunities as interest rates continued to drop, thus posting strong trading results from fixed income securities trading. Trading income increased by P777 million to end at P1 billion in the first three months year-on-year.

The bank expanded its asset base by 34 percent to P118.6 billion as of the end of March due mainly to the 54-percent growth of its loan book. Its lending portfolio comprised mostly of loans to consumers followed by exposure to mid-market corporate borrowers.

Consumer loans alone grew by 44 percent year-on-year while corporate loans grew 70 percent year-on-year, as the bank expanded its corporate lending organization three fold.

Reprisals rattle West Bank, Gaza

A Palestinian has stabbed a Jewish settler to death in the West Bank – the first fatal attack on an Israeli there in more than a year – triggering retaliatory violence in both the West Bank and Jerusalem.

In the Gaza Strip, an Israeli air strike killed an Islamist militant who allegedly was involved in the recent firing of rockets from Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula towards the southern Israeli city of Eilat. The air strike was the first targeted killing in Gaza by Israel since a November ceasefire ended eight days of cross-border fighting.

The flare-up of violence on two fronts underscored the volatility of Israel’s festering conflict with the Palestinians even as Washington is trying to get both sides to resume peace talks.

”We will not accept the sporadic firing of rockets from either the Gaza Strip or Sinai,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after the killing of Haitham al-Miskhal, who according to the Israeli army was a ”key terror figure” affiliated with the Mujahideen Shura Council, an Islamist group that is active in Gaza and the Sinai area.

An Israeli aircraft targeted Miskhal in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. Miskhal, who worked as a police officer, was known to be linked to Islamist militant factions, according to Palestinians in Gaza.

An army statement said he was involved in arms production and trafficking and specialised in rockets and explosives that he sold to militant groups.

The Israeli slain in the West Bank was identified as Evyatar Borovsky, 31, a father of five and a security guard at the settlement of Yitzhar, near Nablus, in the northern West Bank.

The assailant stabbed Mr Borovsky in the chest, seized his pistol and fired at a border police post before a police officer fired back, wounding the attacker, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. The suspect was arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment.

Protest Turns Violent After France Legalizes Gay Marriage

A masked demonstrator clashes with French riot police within sight of the Eiffel Tower at the end of the La Manif pour Tous (Demonstration for All) to protest against France’s legalization of same-sex marriage. Pic: Philippe Wojazer/ReutersFRANCE legalized gay marriage on Tuesday after a wrenching national debate that exposed deep conservatism in the nation’s heartland and triggered huge demonstrations that tapped into intense discontent with the Socialist government. Within hours, fiery clashes broke out between protesters and riot police.

It was an issue that galvanized the country’s faltering right, which had been decimated by infighting and their election loss to President Francois Hollande. France is the 14th country to legalize gay marriage nationwide and the most populous.

See where same-sex marriage has been legalized around the world The measure passed easily in the Socialist-majority Assembly, 331-225, just after the president of the legislative body expelled a disruptive protester in pink, the color adopted by French opponents of gay marriage.

1st weddings could come in June

Justice Minister Christiane Taubira told lawmakers that the first weddings could be as soon as June.

“We believe that the first weddings will be beautiful and that they’ll bring a breeze of joy, and that those who are opposed to them today will surely be confounded when they are overcome with the happiness of the newlyweds and the families,” she said.

Earlier in the day, there appeared to be more police than protesters outside the Parliament building on Paris’ Left Bank, but that calculation soon shifted as night fell and thousands gathered to protest the bill. The protest dwindled to a few stalwarts shortly before midnight, when the violence began among a few hundred demonstrators including some who carried signs saying “Socialist dictatorship.”

Claire Baron, 41, a mother of two, said that she “will oppose the bill until the end.”

“I’ll keep going to the protests, I don’t give in. The bill is not effective yet, the president of the Republic must listen to our voices. We are here to defend family values. Children need a mom and a dad,” Baron said.

In recent weeks, violent attacks against gay couples have spiked and some legislators have received threats including Claude Bartelone, the Assembly president, who got a gunpowder-filled envelope on Monday.

France Legalizes Gay Marriage Following Intense Threats, Protests and Angst

PARIS (TheBlaze/AP) — France legalized gay marriage on Tuesday after a wrenching national debate and protests that flooded the streets of Paris. Legions of officers and water cannon stood ready near France’s National Assembly ahead of the final vote, bracing for possible violence on an issue that galvanized the country’s faltering conservative movement.

The measure passed easily in the Socialist-majority Assembly, 331-225, just minutes after the president of the legislative body expelled a disruptive protester in pink, the color adopted by French opponents of gay marriage.

“Only those who love democracy are here,” Claude Bartelone, the Assembly president, said angrily.

In recent weeks, violent attacks against gay couples have spiked and some legislators have received threats – including Bartelone, who got a gunpowder-filled envelope on Monday.

One of the biggest protests against same-sex marriage drew together hundreds of thousands of people bused in from the French provinces — conservative activists, schoolchildren with their parents, retirees, priests and others. That demonstration ended in blasts of tear gas, as rabble-rousers, some in masks and hoods, led the charge against police, damaging cars along the Champs-Elysees avenue and making a break for the presidential palace.

Justice Minister Christiane Taubira told lawmakers that the first weddings could be as soon as June.

“We believe that the first weddings will be beautiful and that they’ll bring a breeze of joy, and that those who are opposed to them today will surely be confounded when they are overcome with the happiness of the newlyweds and the families,” she said.

When President Francois Hollande promised to legalize gay marriage, it was seen as relatively uncontroversial. But the issue has become a touchstone as his popularity has sunk to unprecedented lows, largely over France’s ailing economy.
