“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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Joseph McElderry - Simply Beautiful

He's gorgeous, he's 19, and he's gay!

I like it when young men like Joe come out.  I know it may have been difficult for him, but he worked the courage to announce it on his official website, thanking his family and fans for their support.

Singing an original song by Miley Cyrus, "The Climb," Joe McElderry became X-Factor's season six winner in the UK.   In 2010 he was approached by Twentieth Century Fox to record the specially written track, "There's A Place For Us", which features in the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  The song was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2011 for best original song in a motion picture.

So in honor of X-Factor making it's American debut in the Fall of this year, I have posted 4 videos of the very talented Joe McElderry.  The first one featuring his amazing rendition of Luther Vandross's "Dance With My Father", the second one featuring his X-Factor finale performance where he sang "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, the third being his first music video, "Ambitions" and the fourth video being his current hit, "Someone Wake Me Up."

He's actually English, but yes, quite possibly another Davy Jones.

I never saw him before but I could read his gay mannerisms in the music video from the other day. He's hot and talented. Here's to hoping that his music career goes far and beyond and that he doesn't just end up as another cast member on Eating Out 5.
