Out of the Troubles and into Rights: Protection For Gays, Lesbians, and Bisexuals in Northern Ireland Through Equality Legislation in the Belfast Agreement
Part I of this Note explores the history of LGB rights in Northern Ireland, focusing on the development of domestic equality legislation stemming from the recent peace process. Part II examines the statutory framework of this legislation, concentrating on what protections and rights it provides for sexual minorities in Northern Ireland. Part II also looks at a recent European Directive prohibiting discrimination against LGB persons in employment. Part III argues that for truly effective change to occur, LGB individuals need both policy-based and rights-based legislation encompassing the human rights principles of equality and non-discrimination. Part III further argues that the political divisions in the region ultimately hinder the drafting, passing, and effectiveness of such legislation

Comment on the Coupling of Zero Sound to the Modes of He-B
Features in the zero sound attenuation near the pair-breaking edge in
superfluid He-B have been observed in large magnetic fields. Schopohl and
Tewordt [{\sl J. Low Temp. Phys.} {\bf 57}, 601 (1984)] claim that the order-parameter collective modes couple to zero sound as a result of
the distortion of the equilibrium order parameter by a magnetic field; they
identify the new features with these modes. However, we show that, when the
effect of gap distortion on the collective modes is properly taken into
account, the collective mode equations of Schopohl and Tewordt yield no direct
coupling of zero sound to the modes. Thus, the identification of the
absorption features reported by Ling, Saunders and Dobbs [{\sl Phys. Rev.
Lett.} {\bf 59}, 461 (1987)] near the pair-breaking edge with the modes
is not clearly established.Comment: 6 pages (Tex with jnl.tex
