“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 - - - - - - - - - - -

The Astounding 5th Grade Glee Club Known As P.S. 22 Chorus

I was looking for a musical cover to "The Call" by Regina Spektor when I came across a 5th grade glee club performing the song.  And if that wasn't strange enough, the 5th graders, who are known as P.S. 22 Chorus, will be performing at the Oscars this year.  What are the chances of me finding that out? Slim to none, I'd say.

The chorus have their own blog, http://www.ps22chorus.blogspot.com/  and have been featured on NBC Today, CNN, and Oprah.   They have also had the pleasure of meeting famous musicians such as Kyle Minogue, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and many more.

I thoroughly enjoyed their performance and shed a tear while watching them sing.  Then again, the song itself would make anyone cry.  I have posted the song by Regina Spektor as today's Music Video of The Day and have posted the 5th grade class singing the song down below.
