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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Oh So Very True!


Must Watch: The Lego Story

If you're in your 70's, 60's, 50's 40's, 30's, 20's, 10's or even 5, you'll enjoy this video.

Celebrating 80 years, Lego has put together a Pixar-esque video that is pretty darn cool - I really enjoyed watching it.  

The video tells the story of how Lego came to be, and the origin of the famous painful-foot-stabbing bricks.  LOL.  You won't be disappointed.

Hell, If I'm correct, my mom still has my original Legos I played with as a kid.  I need to have a talk with her. :-)


To Quill or Not To Quill

This picture looks kinda funny, huh?  Well, I'm sure the dog doesn't think so. She came upon a Porcupine that didn't want to be disturbed and the doggie got a face full of quills.  500 of them!  Ouch!

She underwent extensive surgery to have them removed, but some are still lodged in her.  Bella Mae is currently in recovery.

Zac Efron Does John John Denim

I'm not sure where I read it, or who said it; but I think they said it best when describing Zac Efron in his recent photo shoot for John John Denim.
"It's pretty disturbing that the guy in the photo is prettier than the female models he's posing with."
Sorry ladies, I thought it was pretty funny and somewhat true.

Must Watch: Cut The World by Antony & The Johnsons

Starring actress Carice Van Houten and actor Willem Dafoe, this music video will leave  you with your mouth wide open.  I really don't know what to say about this video, aside from the fact that it was brilliant? Splendiferous?  You decide.  Maybe by watching it a second time you'll understand it more.  
The video does come with a statement, "This video may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised."

Cyanide and Happiness: Nightmares


Quoted - "We Need To Talk About Kevin" Star Comes Out

I’m queer. I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular. I’ve been trying to figure out relationships, you know? I don’t know if it’s responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don’t think we’re ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that’s what you’re supposed to be looking for. Then [when] we find what we think is love — even if it is love — we do not yet have the tools. I do feel that it’s possible to be at this age unintentionally hurtful, just by being irresponsible — which is fine. I’m super down with being irresponsible. I’m just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people. That’s where I’m at in the boyfriend/girlfriend/zefriend type of question.Ezra Miller (Kevin in We Need to Talk About Kevin) comes out in the latest issue of Out magazine.

When Will We Forget?

So based on the U.S. Census Bureau we tend to forget things that have happened in our lifetime at an alarming rate.  Or is that because more and more people are coming down with Alzheimer's?

While you may say, "I remember," that's pretty unlikely.  You probably remember reading about it, or learning about it in your high school history book, but do you actually remember being there at that specific time and place?

So by 2019, most of you will probably forget the Challenger Explosion, by 2027 you've forgotten about Lorena Bobbit, and by 2042, the first i-Phone.  Check out this list, it's pretty darn hilarious, but more than likely very true for most of us.


Isn't This The Truth? The Grndr You Wish You Had

Don't Lie.  You know this is the way you wished Grndr appeared on your i-Phone.  
Grindr-inspired underwear editorial styled by Miguel Enamorado with the hottest underwear from Calvin Klein, Emporio Armani, Versace and more, for the September 2012 issue of Interview magazine.
And there's many more to feast your eyes on here...

Quoted - Homeless Man Talking About the Day He Was Viciously Attacked

He attacked me. He just ripped me to ribbons. He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically that’s all there is to say about it. For a very short amount of time I thought he was a good guy. But he just went and turned berserk. He apparently didn’t have a good day at the Beach and he – he was coming back. And I guess he took it out, took it out on me or something.” –  Cannibal victim Ronald Poppo, in an interview with CBS Miami

I thought this was absolutely crazy when it happened, and I feel so bad for Mr. Poppo.  I truly hope you can find peace.  Our prayers are with you!

Traffic Sign: God Hates Gays!

You have to love the good citizens of America who know there are stupid people in this country, and most of the world for that matter.  This lovely video was posted on YouTube last week by a woman who was driving home one night.  Everything in my right mind was telling me this had to be in Texas, because we have millions of crazies in this 'once upon a time' very blue state.  But I was wrong, it's another state full of crazies - Utah.
When the Utah Department of Transportation, Provo Police Department, and Utah Highway Patrol were contacted last week, this is what they had to say...

“Employees of each bureau expressed shock upon hearing the news of the sign, in several cases saying it was the first they had heard of it. Eventually it was established that the sign was on the I-15 corridor. Utah Department of Transportation spokeswoman Mindy Nelson told Gay Salt Lake that signs are maintained by contractors who have the messages approved by UDOT. The sign was most likely changed by one of the contractor’s employees who thought he or she was playing a prank. ‘A very bad prank that is obviously unacceptable,’ she said. Inquires to UDOT regarding the contractor responsible for the sign, and the department’s response and investigation were not returned as of press time.”

Kiss of the Week - Issue No. 019

"The first kiss is the passionate one; it’s the one filled by desire and attraction and all that. But the second one is rational; you get time to think about it, worry and over analyze. Most prefer that first kiss, but I’m partial to the second one because it’s about something more."

Movies in Rewind: We Need To Talk About Kevin

I'm telling you right now, if you haven't seen this movie, don't.  If you do, be prepared.  While the movie is just a movie, it is by far, one that was very painful to see.  Ryan and I watched "We Need To Talk About Kevin" a week before the recent shootings in Colorado, and boy did it hit close to home when we saw the news unfolding before our eyes.

The movie is mostly about a young teenager named Kevin, and his mother, Eva, played by Tilda Swinton.  It tells the story through the eyes of Eva, who deals with an event that happened in the past, but recent enough to where Kevin is about to turn 18.  This particular event is so tragic that it will leave you speechless at the end of the movie.  But what was so sad about this whole scenario being played out before our eyes, was knowing that these things truly do happen.

Ever since this boy, Kevin was born Eva knew something wasn't right, but no one cared to listen, especially her husband.  And as the boy grew up, the more disturbing the situation became.  This was a very powerful movie indeed.

You can check out the trailer below. 


Television Networks: Who Owns Them All?

Have you ever been curious as to who owns the big television networks?  So yeah, if you watch ESPN, The History Channel, Lifetime, Military History and/or anything related to Disney, you're royally screwed; they're owned by the largest Gay supporter, Disney*ABC.  Yep. All you folks watching anything owned by Disney and ABC are going to hell. Just ask God.

Here's a small chart showing you who owns what, who makes the most, who owns the most, and a little bit of history.  Check it out, it's pretty cool.
