Anyone and Everyone: Choosing Love
If there was one movie I’d love to show every homophobic, offensive sign wielding jerk, this would be it and if THIS can’t change their minds, I don’t think anything can.The movie is a series of interviews with parents and their children from all different nationalities and religions talking about how they dealt with their gay or lesbian child coming out to them.
Obviously it was not easy for some, and there are varying levels of difficulty among all the parents with strong religious beliefs and cultural taboos. Still, it is so amazingly uplifting and beautiful to hear how they overcame their misguided thoughts about homosexuality and came to a greater understanding of not just their own children but the world. They not only understand but come to champion the cause of LGBT people and it’s something that changes all their lives.So basically I sit there and blubber “that’s so beautiful, how can you be so beautiful?” while tears and snot roll down my face.
Here is a (not so great quality) clip talking with an extremely christian family that just SLAYS me: http://youtu.be/uhO-B5t-DUY
Anyway, it’s unfortunately not on Netflix that I can find ( I saw it on PBS, so maybe you can too) but the movie is available for purchase here:
I was walking near the Port Authority Bus Terminal recently when a balding guy smoking a joint yells “Sexy Asian girl!” I give him a dirty look; he smiles.
As a 26-year-old Korean-American woman, I am wary of men whose attraction to Asian women leads to exaggerated gestures….
ATTENTION, THIS IS YOUR CHILDHOOD CALLING. PRESS PLAY.
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. And yes, i absolutely sung along
awesome.

reblobbed side by side because this is fucking important.
you cannot be an ally if you ever use ‘gay’ as an insult.
and the noh8 campaign should be held accountable (ha!) for allowing someone who is so blatantly (hetero/cis)sexist/binarist to appear in their campaign.
wow.
taylor swift sucks SO MUCH.
…..
Herp derp.
Taylor Swift, I really don’t ******* **** you and you need to stop making music forever, okay, you just SUCK SO HARD.
WTF
Like, I hated Taylor Swift for a long time, then I liked her, then I hated her again, and this will probably solidify my distaste for her.
Uhm guys… I know this maybe hard to believe because you keyboard warriors are busy battling
BUT I DON’T THINK SHE MEANT GAY AS IN STUPID.
I think she meant I’ll tell my friends you’re gay
as in her girlfriends that he’s gay
so that he can’t get any girls
It’s a joke get it. Ha-ha
Not like “Oh he’s so gay.”
but as in “Girls no he’s gay that’s why we broke up.”
Like she’s getting back at him. Not talking down to the entire gay community.
UGH
Dear poster directly above me: You realize that’s not any less heinous and in fact might be MORE heinous on some rubrics?
Because undermining someone’s sexual identity to their community of friends is awful behavior.
Because she’s planning to stage a scenario in which her ex came out to her and she proceeded to out him to everyone they know.
Because actively trying to prevent him from finding happiness with other girls, by any means, if fucking awful vindictive bullshit behavior.
She hasn’t said “I’ll tell all the girls I know not to date you because you’re this flavor of misogynist and I want to warn them about you (which would be valid if he actually is going around telling assorted guys that she’s obsessive and crazy)” she’s said that she’ll lie about his sexuality in order to level socially-standard homophobia against him.
What a funny joke. Ha ha.

“Fat” is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her
I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain…
I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’
‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’
What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!
I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons.
Sorry for the picspam, but holy hell I’m in love with my hair color. :D (Taken with instagram)
Think this shit’s funny?
Keep making rape jokes then.
It really gets me when people say things like “why didn’t you report them!?” or “it’s your fault, you let them walk free”. Statistically speaking, rapists will not be convicted, or tried or even brought in for questioning. The victim is lucky if their charges even get a second glance. Plus, the horrific things victims have to go through to prove that they’ve actually been victimized further damages their psyche and healing process, which should be their first priority above anything. It’s the sad reality we live in and rapists know this and it’s why they continue to be so prevalent. In addition, we live in a victim-blaming society where rape is considered a preventable situation in which a person can’t suppress their innate sexual urges instead of a violent, horrific crime. By saying things like “she was asking for it” or “they shouldn’t have been so drunk” suggests rape is something everyone is capable of if they’re tempted enough, which it most certainly is not.
These numbers need to change. This is embarrassing and disgusting, but we as a society, need to start rethinking how we even perceive rape before that can happen.

Each Grain of Sand a Tiny Work of Art
TAKE US CLOSER TO ONE OF THE LITTLE ONES
When you take a moonlit stroll on the beach, how often do you think about the tiny grains of sand creeping in between your toes? From above, sand seems like a bunch of tiny brown rocks, perhaps peppered with occasional shells or cigarette butts. But sand has a far more fascinating story to tell.
Composed of the remnants of volcanic explosions, eroded mountains, dead organisms, and even degraded man-made structures, sand can reveal the history—both biological and geologic—of a local environment. And examined closely enough, as the scientist and artist Gary Greenberg has, sand can reveal spectacular colors, shapes, and textures.
These images of sand from around the world were taken by Greenberg using an Edge 3D Microscope and can be found in his book, A Grain of Sand, which was published earlier this year by Voyageur Press.
