What's Up With All Those Damn Red Equality Signs?

So in case you haven't noticed, your Facebook news feed is probably covered with Red Equality Signs.  That's because the Human Rights Campaign is encouraging you to stand up for marriage equality, as the Supreme Court will take up two cases involving Gay Marriage starting today.

And if your Facebook isn't lit up with all these red equality signs, its probably because you're one of my straight friends who doesn't hang out with too many homosexuals, but that's okay, because we love you all the same. :-)

The first arguments will be heard today involving the infamous Proposition 8 ruling in California where opponents of gay marriage managed to strip away the rights of all those couples who wanted to be recognized as an equal.  Tomorrow the court will hear the arguments involving the Defense of Marriage Act.

In short, if Proposition 8 is upheld (ruled unconstitutional), same-sex couples in California who were married, and want to marry will be legal.  

The Defense of Marriage Act is a whole 'nother story.... the decision here could legalize gay marriage nationwide, something most conservatives, Republicans, and Christians will go nuts over.

We should hopefully hear something before June, if not, sometime in July or August.  Stand up, wear your red and be proud.

A Very Special Moment - Issue #6: Imagine a World Without Hate

It's time for A Very Special Moment, and this one hits close to home.  Actually, the previous issues hit pretty close too.

For those who are here for the first time, I created this series because I always come across videos on the internet, that I swear, are very special moments, and this video is a perfect example of one.  Have you ever wondered what it would be like if people didn't hate?  I have... hundreds of times.

But for the people in this video, it was something that overcame them.  It's time to reflect.  Reflect on what could have been.  Reflect on what "Hate" took away from us.  And this goes for straights and gays, as both are highlighted in the video.

Imagine a World Without Hate™, one where the hate crimes against Martin Luther King, Anne Frank, Matthew Shepard and others did not take place. Support us in the fight against bigotry and extremism by sharing this inspirational video and taking the pledge to create a world without hate at http://www.adl.org/imagine.

21 Accents In Under 3 Minutes

I thought this video clip was pretty cool.  You Tube Vlogger, Actress, Singer, and Director, Amy Walker give us a tour of 21 accents in under 3 minutes.  Quite impressive, I might say.

Amy Walker describes herself as "an actress, singer and writer who embodies a vast range of expression.

Her passion is performing in meaningful productions that inspire positive action in fulfilling our true potential as individuals and as a global community. She has received worldwide acclaim for the authenticity of her myriad accents, heightening the realism of each role, as she plunges joyously into the juice of humanity."

My Christian Thoughts - Issue #5 - The Bible Never Changes, Science Does

Honesty, thank God, Lord Jesus, this man was never elected.  OMG, what an idiot.  I'm sorry, but people like Joe infuriate me, especially those who claim to be God-fearing, God-loving Christians.

It's a Sunday and it's My Christian Thoughts!

So apparently, Joe the plumber can't stop reminiscing about those glory days when he and his football buddies would play "Smear the Queer" - because that was normal.  I'm going to say he was probably one of those that also beat up on the smaller boys.  But today isn't about smearing us gay men, it's about this video.

In it, Joe talks about when he became a Christian and his youth pastor showed him the light.  That unlike our Science books that keep being revised, because we humans are still trying to figure things out, The Holy Bible never changes.  Oh, I love how pastors like to use analogies when trying to explain things - it makes them so much smarter.

I'm going to refer you to an earlier  post, "Isn't This The Truth? How Many More Versions?", where I explained the reasoning behind "versions" and "translations" of the Bible.  So yes, The Holy Bible has been revised several times, and it's because "Humans are still trying to figure things out".

Has it ever occurred to Mr. Wurzelbacher that Science books change because answers are found, discoveries are being made, and Polio is 99% gone from the world?  That the car he drives to work, the pill he swallows for a headache, and the chair he is sitting on, are all owed to science.

I can go on and on, but I'm going to close with this.  Joe, if you're going to say something, do a little research on it before you speak your mind.  And for those who feel I'm wrong for saying the things I say, I'm sorry, but the truth may hurt a little.  These are My Christian Thoughts after all.

Yummy Sony Xperia Soup

So how do you prove to your friends that your "Sony Xperia Z" is better than any iPhone they will ever own?  Oh, I don't know, invite them over for dinner and serve them soup with an Xperia in it?  LOL.

Seriously, check out this video of a Sony Xperia Z being thrown into a pot of hot steaming soup, and still function after a small wipe down. Skip to about 1:25 in the video.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 59 - The Photo Bombing Dog

Our dogs would so do this.  I can't count the number of times our 4 chihuahuas photo bomb our camera while we're recording a video or taking pictures.  Just recently I was posting a video on YouTube and there was our chihuahua, Lady, photo-bombing away.

Checkout this Craigslist apartment listing where this cute dog has managed to photo-bomb every photo in the ad.  Too adorable.

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: Who We Are

Good morning readers, it's time for yet another Saturday Morning Coffee Break so grab your java, sit down and watch this great short movie.  The following movie was filmed in 2009 and released in 2010.   

For those who have never seen it, here's a short synopsis.  And yes, it does have a happy ending.

Who We Are explores the relationship between two best friends who find themselves struggling to hold onto their friendship while dealing with the feelings they have for one another. Alex (Taylor Caldwell), an openly gay high school student, tries to rebuild his relationship with his best friend Michael (Justin Fix), after revealing to Michael he has feelings for him. When Michael reluctantly decides to attend a 'Gay-Straight-Alliance' meeting Alex, he reaches a new state of understanding and level of acceptance for Alex. Michael's parents (John Patrick Kelly & Kim Reed) battle between accepting what they're religion suggests, and opening their minds to accepting people for who they are. The film captures the societal hardships many homosexuals face and a story of love without boundaries.

Make sure to check out Saturday Morning Coffee Break every Saturday for another classic or current gay short film.

Blood Stained Glasses

Look, I know the whole spiel, "people kill people - guns don't kill people", blah, blah, blah.  But does Yoko Ono really have to show us her husband's blood-stained glasses to let us know that "Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the U.S.A. since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980."

The answer is yes, and I'm glad she did.

Yet Another Fucking Music Festival

Too Funny if you take the time to read the flyer.  LMAO at "Hologram of that dead musical legend" and "You loved them in 8th grade"

You can actually buy the 13x19 inch poster over at Neat Dude - check them out.

I Came Home To FIRE and ICE

So I get home from work last night, cook dinner, and open up my TV Guide and Lord and behold, I find the following spread!  OMG! I'm so, so, so excited!

If you're a Game of Thrones fan you should be too!  The White Walkers are coming and it's going to be a battle for the ages.  Executive producer, Dan Weiss, states "This the season we've been waiting for and there's enormous shock and suprise".

And if you thought the Houses of Targaryen, Lannister and Stark were open to compromise, think again.  Not if Daenerys has something to say about it.  Besides, do you blame her?  She was robbed of her family, her rightful throne and is the only one left in her bloodline.  Ohhhh, I'm thinking she will have something to show for it.   

'By the end of Season 3, Daenerys is on the rise and impossible to ignore while others will fall and be forgotten. "What's at stake for all the families in their fight," says Weiss, "is the survival of their name and the continuance of their line."'

Check out trailer #2 for Game of Thrones Season 3, it's absolutely fantastic!

And while you're at it, pick up the TV Guide at your local supermarket, it's a really great article! You can collect all 3 covers!

Isn't This The Truth? Morning Truths

These are great and ohhh so true!!  Absolutely love #9, because at 1 AM you're saying, "Tomorrow I'm going to get up early, exercise and get a head start on a productive day."  Come 7AM, not so much. LOL.

The Breathometer - The World's First Smartphone Breathalyzer!

This is really cool, but how many of you would actually use it?  

The Breathometer™ is "The World’s First Smartphone Breathalyzer!" It's small enough to fit in your pocket and on a keychain.  If this would have been available when I was younger, it would have saved me several tickets.  Then again, I was young.

All you do is exhale into the device after you're out with your friends, and it will give you the blood alcohol level on your phone.  Hand the keys over to a designated drive or call a cab.  Watch the video - it's great.

And for those who don't know what pledging is - you're supporting an entrepreneur trying to make it big with a product.  Or you simply believe in their campaign and wish to contribute to them.  Prices vary, and the more money they raise, the more they're able to produce and promote a particular product.  This one starts with $20 and you'll have your product by the summer.

Movies To Watch: Despicable Me 2

I can't wait to see this movie!  The second trailer to Despicable Me is absolutely hilarious.  It was posted 2 days ago, so check it out if you haven't already.
