No, You Can’t Deny Women Their Basic Rights And Pretend It’s About Your ‘religious Freedom.’

Outside the Stonewall Inn, as a crowd was celebrating the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling, I met Don Russell, 84, and his 100-year-old partner, Charles Schaeffer.

These two men have been together for 62 YEARS. 

When they started dating, Harry Truman was president. It was an entirely different world for gay men, to put it mildly. 

"You couldn’t walk around like this," said Don, looking down. Their hands were clasped tightly together.

I really enjoyed this book as a light, summer quickie (that's my term for books I don't get too emotionally invested in), until I googled the author and read that she started a "princess camp" for 8 to 11 years olds.  At 4,000 bucks a pop your little Cinderella can travel to London and walk the royal wedding procession and learn a proper curtsy.  I shudder to think what Peggy Orenstein would say.

Aw, congratulations Grimmy!

On this day in history…

When Nick Grimshaw was called in to see the controller of Radio 1 one Tuesday morning at the start of July, he genuinely believed something was wrong. [x]

July 3, 2012 was a Tuesday…so happy anniversary of your dreams coming true, Nick!

Hoda, from Hoda and Kathie Lee fame, said she loves watching commencement speeches when she is feeling blue.  Me too, Hoda, me too...

Stuff I like - strong, competent women

Stunning, and she could double as Melisandre on GOT.

The Rainbow Crosswalks Of Sydney, Australia

A popular rainbow crosswalk has been suddenly removed from Sydney, Australia’s gay and lesbian district because the city claimed it was a traffic hazard. The crosswalk was created to honor the 35th anniversary of the gay and lesbian carnival, and supporters want to keep the crosswalk because they say it serves as a symbol of the city’s tolerance.

In response to the city removing the crosswalk, people have started creating their own rainbow crosswalks.

Summer is Coming...

My sister and I have been so lazy lately, just sitting around on the couch watching TV all day. Since summer is here and with it bikini season we decided to turn our lazy  TV watching marathons into a workout. This is the ab workout I made for Game of Thrones:

And for those who don’t know what Supergirls are, it’s when you lay flat on your stomach and raise your arms and legs off the ground (like you’re flying like superman).
