There are so few songs out there in the music industry that even touch on the subject of gay relationships in a serious manner, in a non-negative manner…
I heard this on the radio, today, driving between work sites, and I started crying. It’s about damn time there were any songs like this around on general radio broadcasts.
Good on you, Macklemore, for making it, and good on you, Radio 104.5, for playing it.
So much respect for this man.
This should be on every major blog.
EVERY MAJOR BLOG.

When people say Bane died at the end of TDKR
When people say Barsad died at the end of TDKR
When Nolan says Bruce didn’t die at the end of TDKR
Thank you.
I don’t need Bruce to die… but I think the movie would have been better ambiguous at the least on his ultimate survival.
Also, no… no, honeys… Bane and Barsad are NOT NOT NOT dead. :|
this wins over other pro-gay commercials because you had no idea he was gay and then you can’t tell which one is his husband
they are showing them as people
not as gays and straights
fuckin love this commercial
It’s so fucking cute I swear
What is this for so I can love on it.

if being 100% gay is playing for the other team then i’d like to imagine being pansexual as playing for every team. you just sort of run around between the in and outfields juggling the extra balls and sit a couple innings in the audience eating a hotdog and eventually everyone starts to question whether you even know how to play baseball or not
and eventually everyone starts to question whether you even know how to play baseball or not
That’s already how a lot of people feel about pan. Sad, isn’t it? Still a funny post, though.
An example of Gay Marriage destroying america.
Oh wait, IT’S NOT.
I love these men to death. They are adorable, devoted, and REAL PEOPLE husband/fathers. Just watch the special Oprah did with them. There are no pretenses with them.
Thank you, Neil and David, for being yourself, for being amazing, and for helping show that gay people, gay relationships, and gay marriages are not some evil foe but just people being people.

In which Neil is like, “Sure, I’ll kiss on camera, I’m not shy…”
And then David is like, “Neil, if we’re going to kiss, we’re going to KISS…”
And then Neil is like, “Well I want a room, now. My husband, ladies and gentlemen!”

October is, among other things, held up as LGBT History Month.
Amidst that, October 11th, specifically, is ‘National Coming-Out Day.’
Now, this here’s Tumblr… and it’s a fairly safe space from what I’ve seen, and a place where people feel like they can be themselves, but that doesn’t mean everyone who’s “free” or “out” on Tumblr or other internet community sites is that free and out in their daily lives. Or that they CAN be.
I’m not going to go through a super-long post about this or get really personal with my own experience, but I feel it’s important to mention the day and its significance. I feel grateful that I can openly talk about Girlfriend on here (despite our super-complex relationship making that moniker just the best we can come up with), and that I have not received one bit of hate mail or one nasty comment about the fact that I do. It’s amazing… it really is. It’s how it should be, sure, but it still amazes me because I don’t see this kind of openness and safety in the “real world” most of the time.
So while I don’t need to “come out” over Tumblr, and I’m not here to discuss my personal life, I wanted to clear my queue for the day and leave this post up for the entirety of October 11th (it’s going to be hard, you guys, I’m an addict) in support of those who feel they can’t come out anywhere. In support of those who feel like their families and friends will never understand them. In support of those who fear for their lives should anyone find out their secret, or because they already know. In support of those who are bullied, outcast, persecuted and injured. In support of those who have lost their lives because of their sexuality, whether at the hands of others or their own.
I’d never encourage someone to come out just because someone put a name on a particular calendar date, but it’s at least a day to reflect on the act and the feelings and implications wrapped up in it… whether you haven’t yet, already have, or don’t need to, it’s still something to think about.
Sidenote: Today’s calendar designation is 10/11/12. That’s fun on its own, right?

Dear Tumblr,
I apologize for my SPAMSPAM of posts about RocknRolla whilst freaking the fuck out.
…Well, I’m not SORRY… but I did spam. :D
However, I found a vid that compiles the best portions of Handsome Bob from the middle of the film, and my GOD… The creator of the vid is now among my internet heroes.
Tom… you are perfection, no matter what role you are playing.
Welp…. Destiel lost.
But you know, Teen Wolf is a new thing, and new things carry a large weight of new shippers! I’m not really surprised that Sterek won, but I’m still super happy that Destiel was the last one from everyone else, and that Arthur/Eames stood so long!!
Also, Misha’s tweet was the best thing to come out of all of this. I mean, SERIOUSLY.
Alright, so this interview puts the last few things I’ve seen / read about Tom Hardy into better perspective, and I have a newfound respect for him as a person in “modern” society.
Have you ever had any sexual relations with men?
As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for *beep*’s sake. I’m an artist. I’ve played with everything and everyone.
But I’m not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak.
To me it just doesn’t compute now I’m into my 30s and it doesn’t do it for me and I’m done experimenting.
[….]
But there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I don’t think I’m metrosexual but I’m definitely my mother’s son. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine.
The website quoting the interview text points to the essence of Hardy’s words to be “that sexuality is more fluid than most people admit and that men experiment with other men — as he did once.”
It’s refreshing to see people in the public eye acknowledge that human sexuality isn’t so cut and dry as to be between bio-males and bio-females. Or even to pigeon-hole it to be that people can only be one thing, gay, straight, bi, whathaveyou. Recognizing that experimentation and exploration is part of the human experience (in general, as well as with sex) is so important.
I tend to do my fair-share of “fangirling/fanboying” when celebs say things that can be taken as inferring gay tendencies, or when they share stories of “one night, after the party…” times, I really do. Especially on Tumblr. And I won’t take back one post, nosiree ma’am.
But sometimes, in that excitability that I have, I think I come off as being only sensationalist, only being giggly about “OMG is he GAY?” and all that. When really, I just love shipping people together because it’s fun and I have a vivid imagination…
…And I firmly believe human sexuality is a fluid thing. It’s not rigid, it’s not even a sliding scale or a spectrum, in my opinion. It is what it is. You seek pleasure where you seek pleasure, and where you seek it today might not be the same place you sought it out yesterday, nor the same you seek for it tomorrow.
Now, don’t get me wrong… Not gonna stop shipping same-sex characters (and slashing their actors) together… can’t stop that, it’s impulsive and fun. And, hey, if they ever actually did stuff or ‘got together’ yeah, my head would explode in the best of ways…
…[pause]…
Ahem. But really, I just don’t put people into boxes. I can’t fit into one box or another, no one label feels like it suits me no matter how much I try to rationalize it, so why should I force someone else under one?
I also can’t just pick one shipping fandom. I mean, look at this shit:
I do so love flowcharts.
And I do so get annoyed when people spew “BUT IT’S IN THE BIBLE” as their reasoning for, well, just about anything.

Google to offer gay staff extra pay to allow for tax inequality with straight couples
Internet giant Google today began paying its gay staff more than heterosexual employees in the latest example of its lavish perks culture, reports The Daily Mail.
Lesbian and homosexual staff will get extra wages to make up for higher taxes they have to pay.
The search engine decided it was only fair to bump up the salaries of its gay staff, a spokesman said.
Under U.S. law, when a firm offers health insurance as a benefit for an employee’s partner, it is tax-free for married couples but taxable income for gays.
Google will make up the difference in additional pay, on average $980 a year.
Google is already one of the best companies in the world to work for, a few of my friends are having the time of their lives there. THERE IS A SLIDE TO GET BETWEEN FLOORS in a few of the buildings. It’s insane, and I’m glad that they’re continuing to do right by their employees!
Wow. Google, you impress me. Maybe it won’t be the worst thing when you finally take over the world.
At least we know there’ll be some perks…
omg this was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen. LANCE BASS WAS PRINCE CHARMING.
Excellent mashups!! And just lots of fun. :D
