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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Art In The Most Fascinating Form

I found these photos by photographer Henry VIII quite fascinating.

Am I being biased when it comes to older folks re-enacting scenes from world history?  If you remember, I had written a post back in April titled "Art In The Most Despicable Form," and I wasn't kind to the photographer.  In fact, I was rather upset and angry at the photographer for using children as props for his "iconic moments in history" photos.  What do you think? Is it any different if it were old people re-enacting the scenes?

How many  iconic moments in history do you recognize without looking at the answers.

Unfortunately, the only one I got was Iwo Jima, but I was pretty sure of the Lee Harvey Oswald assassination. The woman in his place confused me.
