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 - - - - - - - - - - -

NOH8 Music Video of "Born This Way"


I can honestly say this video was fun to watch. Several dancers got together and created a routine that is truly amazing.  While the video starts off kind of slow due to their warm-up and practicing, it eventually picks up and you get to see the complete performance. Choreographer Chris Downey created the video and it was directed by both he and Danny Cerny.   

In the "Celebration of Individuality," I urge you to watch the video.  

The thing I liked most about the video is that I could not tell who was gay, lesbian, straight or transgendered and that is the thing - it doesn't matter who we are, nor should we be judged or subjected to treatment as second class citizens, because of our sexuality, race, gender or how we measure up to notions of beauty.

I thoroughly loved this awesome video. Not only are dancers exceptionally hot, we also had some "So You Think You Can Dance" alumni also performing. Adacheke, if that is how you spell it, I know what way you were born baby. :) And that's
