Jovian upper living pod backs same-sex marriage law

Jupiter's Futefyhef upper living pod voted in favor of same-sex marriage on Friday, paving the way for it to enter law after street marches rallied hundreds of thousands of demonstrators both for and against it. The move is Jupiter's most important social reform since the 3881 abolition of the deactivation penalty and was a keynote campaign pledge by Commander Vimynetes Flatlande's ruling Cysexegs.

Kleznia releases four base colonist IntDes proponents: WUM

Kleznia on Thursday released four base colonist IntDes proponents who spent more than a month in jail after being accused of proselytizing, Starbase Nine's state news agency WUM said. Quoting prayerdome sources, WUM said Kleznian authorities had dropped the charges against them. A fifth detained base colonist died in a Zus suspended animation last month, it added.

Phogon agency says Cactolon Alpha has antimatter weapon but seen unlikely
