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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Saturday Morning Coffee Break: It Could Happen To You

 
I cannot imagine ever losing the person I love.  I'm sure you can't either.  Some of you have lost wives, husbands, partners, parents, siblings, friends, and the emotional impact is unimaginable.  While I have lost loved ones, I have never lost someone I was dating or considered my best friend and lover.  It's like me losing Ryan today - I'd be devastated beyond belief.  It's not something I can prepare myself for.  Death comes at the most inconvenient time and there's no stopping that clock.

It's been a while since I've posted a "Saturday Morning Coffee Break", and now that I've come back it's as good as time as any to start.  So grab your coffee, sit back, and watch this video, because if you're gay, and in a relationship it could happen to you.  Oh and grab a tissue too, it's a tear-jerker.

If you wish to look back at some previous issues, click my logo below and enjoy.  And make sure to check out Saturday Morning Coffee Break every Saturday for another classic or current gay short film.

Is Your 'Gaydar' Working?

I always get asked from co-workers and friends to find out if a person is gay or not.  Some are even brave enough to say, "I know he's gay." And one of the ways they derive at this answer is by their persona - how the person acts in front of them.

So can you tell if someone is gay just by looking at them?  That's my question to all of you.

In the meantime check out these 12 gif images of Joe Jonas.  Gay. So gay! LOL.
 
 
 

Oh and by the way, The New York Times has already solved it - The Science of 'Gaydar'.

Must Watch: C.A.N.N.I.B.A.L. PSA

Over the last few weeks, Cannibalism has taken over our news, our Facebook, our blogs, our Twitters, hell, it's taken over our lives.  Due to the recent rash of brain eating humans from Canada, and the homeless eating beast in Florida; Andy Samberg from SNL appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live the other night and released a Public Service Announcement just for you.  It is titled C.A.N.N.I.B.A.L (Citizens Are Not Naturally Ingested By Americans League), and it's really serious.

Disney Prince of the Week 011

Over the last few months I have been posting a Disney Prince of the Week.  Can you guess the movie and the name of the character who played this week's Prince? 

While he's not technically a Prince in the movie, the artist considers him the girl counter-part of a Disney Animated movie.  Hence in the eyes of the artist, he's a Prince of Disney.

Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 018

An Avengers' Bad Romance

Just when you thought you'd seen it all... The Avengers go all "Club Kid" on you. LOL.  This is a hoot and it will probably make your day. LOL.

Watch as Loki, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the rest of the gang dance to Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance."

The Mad Men Barbies

I'm a huge Mad Men fan, and these barbies are just my favorite!!!  Apart from the Lady Gaga barbies that came out a few years ago, these dolls are remarkably "spot-on" re-incarnations of their characters of the hit AMC show.









You have Fat Betty (who came out 50 lbs. heavier than in previous seasons), with her can of whipped cream that she devoured in an earlier episode.  You have Megan Draper in her "Zou Bisou Bisou" dress she wore for Don's birthday surprise.  Next, you have Roger Sterling holding his bastard son, and my favorite one of all, Joan Harris wearing the “emerald necklace of shame" a she pushes her baby carriage.
You can check out the rest at My Life In Plastic.com

"Ain't No Homos Gonna Make It To Heaven"

C'mon, join me now... "I know the Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong...ain't no homos gonna make it to heaven."  A little louder... "I know the Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong...ain't no homos gonna make it to heaven." 

Yep, those are the words sung by a mere child in front of a congregation in Greensberg, Indiana.  


Isn't that just lovely?  And to think that all along I thought our preachers and pastors were men of God and all they cared about was love. Frankly, I'm tired of hearing that everyone is not like that, but as more and more churches are declaring death to us gays, and spewing hatred month after month, what else are we to believe?

I believe in a loving God.  A building is not a church.  What makes up a church are its people, and if there is but more than 1 that condones this hatred and death towards myself and my partner, then you are part of a bigger problem.  You are, in part, congregating with them, singing and worshiping with them.  The bible states where two are more are gathered in his name, He is there with them.

You don't have to go to a building to worship with people who hate your son or your daughter.  Get together with those you love and worship together, at a park, in your home, at a school - worship with them - they are your church.

Harm Caused by Drugs

I'm not condoning any type of drug behavior, but I like how Alcohol seems to lead the pack in, not only, causing harm to others, but harm to users as well.  

But hey, hey, hey - you can do shrooms, steroids, and marijuana for sure! LOL.

The Most Creative (and Ridiculous) Ways To Open a Beer Bottle

How many times have you grabbed a beer only to find out, you can't unscrew the damn cap off?  Well ,here are the most creative and (ridiculous ways) to open a beer bottle.  Some of them are completely crazy and some of them... well, I wish I had known. LOL.  I'm sure the people in Conroe or Cut-n-shoot know all about them. :-)

The video is pretty cool - check it out.


Movies in Rewind: Thor as the Huntsman, Thor as Thor

I don't know, Ryan and I went and saw Snow White and The Huntsman last weekend, and well... I couldn't get past the Bella and Thor characters that Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart play.  Unfortunately, they will have to face the backlash for playing those iconic roles for several years or for the rest of their lives.

The same went for actors in the past who have died, i.e. Christopher Reeve as Superman, or those who are still alive, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. The list goes on.

Regardless, the movie was entertaining. I will not spoil it for anyone.  I just found these images online and had to say something about Thor and the Huntsman.

Winter Is Coming... A Game of Thrones Parody Tribute

If you have not seen the season finale of Game of Thrones, then I don't recommend watching this.  But if you have, then you can.  :-)

The Key of Awesome have created a parody using Maroon 5's Payphone as a tribute to Game of Thrones, whose second second season ended this past Sunday.  Sad, but true.

The video is NSFW, but humorous nonetheless.


Adam Levine is quitting Maroon 5 because he can't stop watching Game of Thrones!  Lol.

Album Cover Parodies

What if comic book characters were used as famous album covers? Well, they would probably look something like this..
X-Force Queen
Cyclops Bowie
German artist Uwe de Witt over at Deviant Art, created these pretty fabulous parodies.  He also has a great blog, Spacelord, you can check out as well.  I especially love Dr. Strange Pink Floyd

Ghost Rider Prince
Warlock Judas Priest

When Are Vegetables and Fruit In Season?

Ever wonder when your fruits and vegetables are in season?  I do the grocery shopping in the household, and let me tell you... It sucks when the vegetables are not in season.  Unless the items are genetically enhanced, i.e. a 3 foot cucumber compared to 8 inches, then more than likely you will be eating a cucumber around 4-5 inches in size.

Here are two great info-graphics to show you exactly when to buy those items.  Unless all you care for is bananas, citrus fruit, onions, and celery - those are available year-round.

Laugh of the Day: Reset Your Password

OMG this is too funny.  How many of you have created passwords over and over, and the computer program doesn't like it?  You start cussing at the website, and when nothing else works, you call customer service.  Then you start an endless argument with them, because the password has to be 15 letters long, include no spaces, no special characters and sound like barbecue.

Well, this short comedy clip will remind you of your experiences.
