“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 - - - - - - - - - - -

80 Mayors - One Purpose - Marriage Equality

The video your about to see makes me proud to be an American, proud to be a Texan, and proud to be Gay.  It not only shows the amount of strength, love and conviction these mayors have set forth to accomplish.  But their support and compassion makes all the difference in the world.

I love my Ryan, he is the epitome of perfection in my eyes.  My love for him and what we do with our home, our family and our future is ours and ours alone - not yours.  All we want is to be treated fairly, just like you, and everyone else.

Last Friday, 80 mayors from across the United States stood alongside those of New York (Michael Bloomberg), Boston (Thomas M. Menino), Houston (Annise Parker), San Diego (Jerry Sanders) and Los Angelese (Antonio Villaraigosa) as the five mayors of five great cities released a statement:
