    commercial

    huh. I have seen that commercial before, but I don't remember Neil Patrick Harris in it. I am glad to seem him though. It shows that companies find him quite marketable.

     

    Also - Why is playgirl even interested? I am guessing a publicity stunt.

    Miley Cyrus

    Hmmmm, it does sound like that, but still, concert lyrics are hard to hear sometimes.

    If she did, it certainly is a poor choice of words, though I can get how finding out your boyfriend is gay after you break up would burn. (not saying that happened, but could be a possible explanation?)

    Makes me think of the Taylor Swift song "Picture to Burn" where the lyrics "Go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy, that's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay" was changed when the song played on the radio. I adore Taylor Swift, but I hate that she used that as a lyric, though admittedly she was 16-17 at the time, just starting to become famous.

    I may be straight, but I'm not narrow.

    Clip from Spain

    And here's a cute clip from Spain to start off your week..

    Victor and Javier, a gay couple on the Spanish version of So You Think You Can Dance (It's really a version of SYTYCD mixed with Big Brother, since they all live in the same house).

    Anyways, they are really cute. Enjoy;)

    Thanks

    Thanks for the clip Mia. Didn’t know there’s another gay couple on fama. Over a year ago there was a cute gay couple – Juan Carlo and Jandro – on the same show, too.

    Thanks for sharing the

    Thanks for sharing the articles from the ny times. The one about gay parents made me really happy

    So that thing in Boston really happened? I read that this weekend and I was certain it was a joke or a fabrication

    Really?

    We're taking what Faux News says about anything as the truth?  Even if it is a local affiliate who is doing the reporting, I like to have all stories reported by that network verified by some other reputable source.

    Banned From Walmart!

    That article was a truly disturbing read, particularly because I GREW UP there. I mean, that's totally insane to me, but it's hard to imagine two lawyers from Chicago going nuts in a Walmart in Niles. Like, really hard.

    On the other hand, it's also really weird to me to think of this happening in my hometown. I didn't meet with much discrimination at all growing up in the South Bend/Niles area, and I was an out, slightly obnoxious and rebellious teenager.  So that is just creepy. Especially since we're supposed to be, I don't know, growing as a society and a culture - certainly growing more accepting. Or maybe that was just in the dream I had last night...

    "South Bend!...it sounds like dancing, doesn't it?"

    When in doubt, quote Katharine Hepburn.  :)

    Darn, I've always idealized the place as some sort of Sylvan paradise.  Guess not.
