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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Lady Gaga Performs at EUROPRIDE 2011

Over the weekend, the lovely Lady Gaga was in Rome, Italy for the largest gay pride event in Europe - Europride 2011.  She performed her hits "Born This Way" and "Edge of Glory" to an astounding crowd on Saturday night at the ancient Circus Maximus.  Both the performances were acoustic versions of her songs. 

According to a must read article on MSNBC:
Lady Gaga told the crowd she is often asked "How gay are you, Lady Gaga?"

"My answer is: 'I am a child of diversity.'"

She also proudly cited her Italian roots — saying she was really named Stefania Giovanna Angelina Germanotta.

She also did an amazing gay rights speech just right before this. Hearing "The Edge of Glory" following her speech just makes me cheer and cry. I truly believe that she has saved countless GLBT and outcast kids from killing themselves. Just to feel loved no matter who you are or who you may love is more powerful then all the hate in this world and more charitable then any donation of any amount of money. She is real, honest and true and has forever changed the world for the better. God please protect her so that she can continue to love and inspire millions for many more years to come. Your little Monsters love you Gaga, but I love you bunches more, my love. Thank you so much for posting this. You really made my night as you somehow always manage to do. :) Love you bunches.
