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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Straight But Not Narrow


The really sexy Josh Hutcherson has come out in support of all the straights.  In a new campaign to support the Trevor Project, the Straight But Not Narrow campaign describes itself as the "go to" site for straight folks.  


This is a way of getting the message across that "it’s an unfortunate reality that most of the bullying and harassment that gay teens face comes from them."

Furthermore, the site continues to say, "Just be you, Cause that's good enough for us."
So, whether you like girls, you like guys, you like both, you like neither (well, that would kinda suck, but you get the idea)…. what difference does it really make? There’s a whole lot more to a person than who they date. And yeah, we’re all different. But we believe that it’s those differences that make us interesting. Why would we all want to be exactly the same? Where’s the excitement in that?

While I find the concept of this campaign really progressive, it's hard to believe in it, because of the condemnation we face everyday.  But then again, every little bit helps, and we thank Josh for his contribution.

This is a great message. I truly believe that this new generation, and everyone after it, will continue to be more and more accepting of us. We can only hope that more people out there hear the message of this hot boy, I mean, informed, knowledgeable and accepting straight man and help bring an end to bullying, where hatred begins, and inequality of rights, where hatred concludes.

Why are people so bent on defining each other by our differences, instead of how we are alike? Seems to me like we could all treat each other a little better, be a little kinder, and help each other a little more than we do!
