“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 001

I would like to start another series on my blog with a focus on advertisements addressing gay issues, titled Gay Ads That Matter.  Over the years, I've seen MTV, Magazines like OUT, Instinct or The Advocate, post ads about issues involving our gay youth, couples, parents, etc..  And some of these ads are truly, truly amazing.

Starting with the first Issue, I bring you an ad from the pro-gay nation of Israel.  As you may already know, Israel is a full democracy and have accepted gays whole-heartedly through the years. They also have one of the highest percentages of support for same-sex marriages in the world, while they have not officially been sanctioned in the country, they do recognize marriages performed elsewhere.

Wow, what an amazing ad. Wonder if we'll get gay marriage first or if they will. Their ahead of us but who knows what the Supreme Court might do one day. Who knows. We'll have to wait and see.
