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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Kid Who Body-slammed His Bully Speaks Out

After years of tormenting and being picked on, 15-year old Casey Heynes snapped, and body-slammed his bully onto concrete.  The video, which I blogged about last week, became an internet sensation.

In an interview last night, Casey stated he had been taunted for years, because of his weight, and been duct-taped to a pole at one time.   He said that while he was glad for the support, he had actually contemplated suicide last year.

In the past, he usually let bygones, be bygones, and never retaliated for what these boys did to him.  But something happened to him that fateful day when he grabbed his bully and slammed him to the ground.  Casey just snapped.
"He just came up out of nowhere and grabbed me by the shirt and then he punched me in the face. Then he went for a second hit, and I blocked it," Casey recounted.
"The third hit, I don't know if he connected, and then the fourth and fifth hit me, and then I actually snapped and grabbed him," he said.
Catch the interview here, and decide, should Casey be punished for what he did?

I'm so proud of him. How embarrassing must it be for the parents of that other little brat. You go kid. I only wish that I had the courage to do what he did so many years ago.
