“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul - - - - - - - - - - - “if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.” - John F. Kennedy - - - - - - - - - - - - “Imagine finding someone you love more than anything in the world, who you would risk your life for but couldn’t marry. 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 - - - - - - - - - - -

I observed your blog using google and I must say, this is most likely one of the greatest nicely ready articles I have come across in a long time. I’ve bookmarked your site for more posts.

To Anonymous above: Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment. See, my partner, best friend and lifelong husband is the author of this wonderful blog. He puts so much time into making such a masterpiece of work trying to find things on the internet that may be a popular story or something completely ignored and missed. He'll put the most hilarious videos and comics he can find, as well as footage, stories and comments that will just bring the tears right out of you. You see, it's completely possible to get a glimpse of my man's personality, spirit and mind while viewing this site because his life is in the words he writes on this blog. Sure, the foods that make you cringe as well as the people of Walmart might not be exactly what I'm talking about, but scroll further and click on some stories from the past. From the birth of his beloved niece, to the many emotional and heartfelt comments that we'll leave about each other on an almost daily basis, part of his life is this blog. So I try my best to always keep up with it by leaving little comments here and there or pouring my heart and soul into a three page paragraph kinda like the one you're reading now, but I always feel like it's just not enough. That I could never show him how great a blogger he is because I am only one man with one voice that can leave one or two comments. Work like his deserves a following of people that also comment on his many blogs just to show him how appreciated he is for his hard work. I know he can see how many people read them and I'm well aware of the people on facebook that always "like" his posts, which are always appreciated of course. It's just that, taking a few moments to type a few kind hearted words really means the world to him. More people should do it. Thank you so much for doing it. In an electronic ocean of lies, gossip, misinformation and hate that the internet has indirectly generated, it's nice to know that there's still great people out there, even if they're anonymous. Once again thanks and have an excellent day.

The bully ones really hit close to home, my love, except for the one that says that it made them a better person. A part of me might be stronger because I survived what I was put through for all those years, but I will never thank them for it. I owe them nothing. I survived it by myself, and my reward is being able to enjoy the most amazing life that I have with you now. I love you bunches and I always will. It does get better, but you have to fight for it and survive. I'm so happy that I did.
