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 - - - - - - - - - - -

Only Gay In The World - Video Premiere


I absolutely love Ryan James Yezak's music video parodies, they are the best!  I guess the fact that I'm Facebook friends with some of his performers makes me bias. NOT!!!  I would still love him and his excellent work.

A month ago I posted a parody to Britney Spears track, "Hold It Against Me," and it was much better than Britney's own video - not lying.  Ryan really puts a lot of time and effort into making these videos, and I highly doubt it's not costing him anything.

It's was a long time coming, but his next video parody has made it online, and as promised, it is titled, "Only Gay In The World," in reference to Rihanna's hit song, "Only Girl In The World."  As usual, the video is filled with hot, shirtless guys, and it follows a couple of gay kings, a cheerleader squad, some football players, gays in the military and ends with a reception preceded by a gay 'ol fabulous wedding.

Check it out - you're gonna love it! 

Quoted - Bill Clinton on Marriage Equality

"Our nation's permanent mission is to form a ‘more perfect union’ - deepening the meaning of freedom, broadening the reach of opportunity, strengthening the bonds of community. That mission has inspired and empowered us to extend rights to people previously denied them. Every time we have done that, it has strengthened our nation. Now we should do it again, in New York, with marriage equality. For more than a century, our Statue of Liberty has welcomed all kinds of people from all over the world yearning to be free. In the 21st century, I believe New York's welcome must include marriage equality." 
                                         - President Bill Clinton via a press release from the
Human Rights Campaign yesterday in New York.


We all know that President Clinton was instrumental in the passing of DOMA (Defense Of Marriage Act) and DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell,) but he did what he could at the time.  He had Republicans who were in control of the House and the Senate - there's really not much one can do with those nuts - he had to compromise.  

The former president has made up for it since he's left office, calling this his biggest regret and apologizing for it.  He has become a vocal supporter of the LBTQ community ever since.  Hillary, and daughter, Chelsea have also joined him in this fight.

Cover Wars - Issue No. 1

UPDATE: Drew Chambers wins first cover war!


As part of my new series, "Cover Wars," I would like to initiate the series with one of my favorite songs of the year, "Rolling in The Deep" by Adele.  It's from her new album, "21".

The premise behind "Cover Wars" is to get your opinion on who you think is the "best of the best" when performing a cover to a particular artist.  

Today I chose, Drew Chambers and Kris Cunningham feat. Natalia Brown to compete in the first round of my new series.

Who do you think has won this war?

I Want To Visit Ft. Campbell - Pretty Please, Mr. President

A Seal member preparing to capture top insurgents in 2007 near Fallujah, Iraq. Members of Team 6 are the elite of the elite.
If this picture is any indication of what our Seals look like, I want to book my next flight out thereLike Yesterday!

President Obama will be meeting with the Navy Seals who killed Osama bin Laden on his trip to Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, and with service members who just recently returned from Afghanistan - the date is unknown at this time. 
 "The men, hailed as heroes across the country, will march in no parades. They serve in what is unofficially called Seal Team 6, a unit so secretive that the White House and the Defense Department do not directly acknowledge its existence. Its members have hunted down war criminals in Bosnia, fought in some of the bloodiest battles in Afghanistan and shot three Somali pirates dead on a bobbing lifeboat during the rescue of an American hostage in 2009." - The New York Times

Jesus Is My Virtue, Judas Is The Demon I Cling To


This morning I reminded you about Lady Gaga's new video, Judas, premiering tonight on E!.   Well the video leaked right before I was going to lunch, and it was not intended to happen this way.  In fact, the video is being removed from the internet just as fast as I type this post.  

I have posted the video below, but don't know how long  it will stay active before I get caught - enjoy it while you can.  I absolutely love it!


UPDATE:
Unable to control the outcry and hunger for Gaga, they made her release the video before it's anticipated release tonight on E!. She has now posted the video on her You Tube Page.

Gay Ads That Matter - Issue No. 005 - Google Makes a Stand For The Better


If you were watching Glee on Tuesday night you may have noticed a Google Chrome commercial midway through the show that probably had Bryan Fischer ROTFL or PO'd.  Regardless of the outcry from these haters, I'm re-evaluating my use of browsers for the first time in 7 years.  


The intense ad featured some well-known and not so well-known people, but most importantly, it starred Dan Savage, the creator of the It Gets Better Project.


Thank you Google for making a stand - you just helped broadcast our message of equality to millions of people in just one evening - imagine the possibilities.

To Tattoo or Not To Tattoo, That is The Question...

This is actually an old pic that's been circulating for quite some time.  I thought I should post it, because it never hurts to share stupidity and hypocrisy where it exists.  Ah the Christian heart, you gotta love'm.

This gentleman thought he would quote scripture by printing a tattoo on his arm from Leviticus 18:22 where the Lord says, 'you shall not lie with a male as one does with a woman.'  I guess the moron forgot to read the following chapter - in Leviticus 19:28, where the Lord forbids anyone from inking themselves with tattoos.

The New Dallas - Ewing vs. Ewing


I've stated this many times before, and I have no problem doing so. I'm really excited about Dallas returning to Television after more than a decade.  If you're not a Dallas fan, or curious to know more about the new series, check out Ultimate Dallas.com for all the latest updates and news on the new show. The site has an episode guide, interviews with various cast members from the original series, videos, the latest news, and so much more.  I have been a long time fan, and frequently visit the site for all my Dallas info.

Since we're on the subject of Dallas, Ultimate Dallas.com posted a news bulletin this past Sunday answering questions it's readers had asked. I posted a few down below, along with a character synopsis for Christopher and John Ross's side of the family.  For the full question and answer session, you can go here.

Let's begin...
In a nutshell can you outline the plot?  It’s really about the next generation of Ewings. Miss Ellie summed it up very well in season 6 of the original series “Think ahead Sue Ellen, think twenty five or thirty years ahead. I won’t be here then and the fight won’t be between JR and Bobby, it’ll be between John Ross and Christopher

Bobby still owns Southfork and has a battle on his hands both privately and publicly as he strives to save his late mothers legacy. A battle which will tear the family apart. At the heart of the battle are John Ross and Christopher Ewing, two ambitious young men who both want to be top of their game and take the power and influence that comes with being a Ewing.

Like the beginning of the original series there is an element of  the rich and the poor, with less well off characters mingled  into the lives of the Ewing family.

Which of the original characters will appear? Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) and Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray). Lucy Ewing (Charlene Tilton) and Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly) will make a brief appearance for an event at Southfork Ranch.  Appearing in the lead roles are John Ross Ewing (Josh Henderson) and Christopher Ewing (Jesse Metcalfe).

Who is who in the Dallas pilot?
Let’s break this down.

Christopher's Side

ANN RYLAND EWING (played by Brenda Strong) –  Bobby’s lovely new wife.

BOBBY JAMES EWING (played by Patrick Duffy) – Adopted Father of Christopher Ewing and owner of Southfork Ranch.
  
CHRISTOPHER EWING (played by Jesse Metcalfe) – The new acumen and entrepreneurial vigor of the Ewing clan. Smart, attractive, effective, he has the guarded eyes of someone who’s already mixed it up with life.

REBECCA SUTTER (played by Julie Gonzalo) -   Fiancée of Christopher Ewing and about to become the next Mrs Ewing.

 John Ross's Side
   
 JR Ewing (played by Larry Hagman) -  Father of John Ross Ewing.  He spent his life building a legacy for his son to ensure they maintain a power-base in Dallas. It’s time to hand over the reigns.

JOHN ROSS EWING (played by Josh Henderson) – A powerful man, he is charismatic, seductive.  He’s his father’s son.

SUE ELLEN EWING (played by Linda Gray ) - Mother of John Ross Ewing.


The Ramos's
ELENA RAMOS (played by Jordana Brewster) – Daughter of the Ewing cook Carmen and girlfriend of John Ross Ewing. She spent her entire life at Southfork Ranch growing up with both John Ross and Christopher.

CARMEN RAMOS (played by Marlene Forte) – Hispanic mother of Elena Ramos and long time Ewing cook.

Angry Man Rips Off Head in New Dodge Ad

Omg! Shame on Dodge for sending such a horrific message!  

Poor robot, I can't believe the man just went all Dexter on his ass, and then drives off recklessly through the streets.  What's wrong with this picture?

But.... I did like the futuristic bathroom, kitchen, the clothes changer thingy, bracelet-activated door, and the dog walker :-)

The Trailblazer Campaign Flourishes


The Trailblazer Campaign, established by James Duke Mason continues to thrive as more and more actors contribute to this promising movement.  

If you recall, I blogged about James, and his ingenious idea back on April 19.  He started the Trailblazer Campaign to help gay actors, young or old, come out of their shells and be proud of who they are.  James has been a vocal supporter of the LGBTQ community for quite some time, and shares his experiences in various articles and videos online.  

I'm not sure if there is a website, but I do believe you can can get started here, www.twitter.com/ttcampaign; Also, feel free to take a look at two new contributors (below) to this great crusade!



The first video features up and coming actor, Nicholas Downs from the movie, "Is It Just Me?" and Mike C. Manning from MTV's The Real World, DC in the second.

Where Do You Stand on Regret?

My opinion is that we shouldn't regret things that we did, or do in our lives.  I've always felt that everything happens for a reason and we go through life learning from these things. If I were to regret picking up my first cigarette at 18, or taking my first drink at 22, I wonder where my life would be at this point. It sure wouldn't be where I am now.  If I were to regret ever meeting my previous partner, I would never would have met my beautiful step-daughters.  

This topic always takes me back to The Butterfly Effect. The lead character in the movie changed one thing in his life because he wasn't happy with it, in turn disastrous consequences took place - all due to this one thing being changed.   If we were to change one thing in our lives, how different would our lives be today?  Very!  I would never have met my current partner, Ryan.  

If you think that at this point in your life you're doing something you shouldn't do, then don't do it; But if you did, learn from it and move on.  If you remove one piece of the puzzle it will never be complete - don't remove pieces from your life.
