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 - - - - - - - - - - -

You're Amazing Just The Way You Are and The Two Schools Who Told You So

So what do you do when you want to get a message across?

Take your jacket off in the middle of shopping mall, take everyone by surprise and perform a dance routine.

To throw their support against anti-bullying, that's exactly what 2 schools in Canada did.  They all sported pink t-shirts with the word, 'Acceptance' in large, bold letters with some script underneath it saying, "You're Amazing Just The Way You Are."  In reference to the Bruno Mars song, "Just The Way You Are," playing in the background.

Good job kiddos, I loved it.

Such an amazing video. I really hope these kids take the message to heart and truly learn to accept everyone just the way they are. I think they will though. The younger generation is always more progressive, understanding and accepting than the previous one. I really believe that, with time, I will live to see us gay people have all our rights one day. And that bullying will no longer be accepted in our schools.
