Ewan McGregor is one great guy.
In a recent interview with George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America, Ewan McGregor makes a comment that is music to our ears. While talking about his current movie, George puts up a still from another movie Ewan shot with Jim Carrey. In it, the two are seen kissing. George's comment is nothing short of homophobic. He basically asks Ewan what's up with the picture. Ewan responds ""Well that's just two men kissing, and it's, uh, in this age, in 2010 it's extraordinary that it's still an object of humor." Love the comment Ewan! Then George proceeds to push saying "it looks like it's more than a kiss, you are making out". What an idiot. George Stephanopoulos needs to be yanked from his job on ABC. Ewan stood his ground and they moved on to the next topic.
Thank you Ewan McGregor for standing your ground and helping move everyone forward. Two guys kissing should not be a big deal. George, you're an idiot. ABC...you're losing your gay touch.

When we forget what we are fighting for.
Just when we sometimes feel that we can't fight anymore...or forget what we are fighting for, a great video reminds us. Take a look at the video of inspiring photos set to song (Susan Boyle, "Who I Was Born To Be"). While there are an awful lot of 'rainbow' pics, it's a symbol of our hope. The words are quite inspiring too.
Susan's voice is powerful and when you pair it with these images, you'll understand.
Sarah Palin still doesn’t know anything.
Sarah Palin is making all kinds of money speaking at these 'Tea Party' conventions. It just proves that you can pay someone $100,000 and they still don't know anything. She hammered Pres. Obama for using a tele-promter. Uh...and? At least he doesn't scribble notes on his HANDS! Sheesh. Sarah had to write notes on her hands and ACTUALLY LOOKED DOWN AT THEM during her speech.
Then during an interview with FOX News, Sarah jumps in to defend Rush Limbaugh for calling liberals "retards". Well, that makes sense. Why? Because she (Republicans) wanted to slam Rob Emmanuel on saying one stupid comment. Sarah, looks a bit taken aback on the question though. She said that Rush wasn't recorded saying it. What?? And listen to how she answers it. She is just as dumb as ever. The sad part? She defends anyone using the word 'retard' in such a negative manor (like Rush)...since her child has Down Syndrome. Sarah is not only dumb...but she's a bad person.

Gay Singer Matt Alber strikes a chord.
Gay singer Matt Alber has a lot going for him. He's got a Grammy nod for his past work in the group Chanticleer. His singing style is unique and takes you to a place we can all identify with. Matt is down to earth and his voice swirls and hits those high notes with ease. Last November, Matt released the CD "Hide Nothing" and he is gaining popularity in the music world. His video for the single "End of the World" just might be one of the best gay themed videos out there. It's set in a barber shop and turns out to be quite romantic.
I've heard Matt sing this song accapella on the FestofFun.com podcast...and it was flawless. You can find Matt Alber on Amazon.com by clicking the box below. Click the play button and you can preview all of Matt's songs. Be sure to buy the acoustic version of End of the World. Matt...you are a true artist.
Obama speaks at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner, embraces gays.
Obama attempted to do some damage control this past weekend. The Gay & Lesbian Community has been very vocal with their worry that some of Obama's promises are going to be left on the side of the road. Sure, the United States is going though some bad times. Economy is on the mend, World Relations is trying to be improved...and there is the Healthcare Reform mess. Well, the Gay & Lesbian Community feels that Obama is not acting fast enough on his promises.
President Obama promised to end the Don't Ask, Don't Tell military policy...yet nothing has been done to get rid of it. He also expressed his disapproval of DOMA (Defensive Marriage Act). DOMA is what is standing in the way of a Nationally recognized Gay Marriage law.
On October's Equal Rights March, President Obama took time to address the Gay & Lesbian Community at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner. This is only the 2nd time in history that a President has spoken to a group that is marching on Washington. While the speech was powerful...some are still worried that the time line was not defined and will get pushed out. Obama says he is still against DOMA and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, and will end them. He stops short of saying when.
Take a look at the video of his speech below. President Obama, please help us obtain the Equal Rights we as Americans deserve.
Carrie Prejean’s interview shows her (lack of) intelligence.
Every one's been saying it.... Carrie Prejean.....YOU'RE FIRED!
Carrie Prejean is another example of someone that will do ANYTHING for fame. She was blasted for her comment in the Miss Universe pageant's 'question' segment. When asked her views on Gay Marriage...she responded she was against it. (Idiot...who does your hair...your makeup...who runs the pageants??) After that...pictures surfaced of her that were against the Miss USA pageant rules. Mr. Donald Trump first said that she will keep her Miss California crown.
Fast forward a few months and now...she is fired. The reason for the firing is that she has not held up her contractual agreements. Missed appearances for Miss USA equals you are not doing your job Miss Prejean. She began using her title as part of her hate against gays. She missed appearances while speaking at churches and motivating people to be against civil rights.
All I can say is it's about time. She should have been fired after the first missed event. Prejan keeps saying she got in trouble for speaking her mind. Hello?!?!? You are showing support for discrimination against a minority group. What would have happen if she would have said she doesn't believe in interracial marriage? She would have been fired IMMEDIATLY!
Gay Marriage is a civil rights issue. It is illegal for a majority of the population to vote on the rights of a minority. All of the people that are against gay marriage need to understand that this is not about YOU. It's about US as gay Americans.
Check out Carrie and how hateful she sounds in this interview. Carrie...move on. You give the white population a bad name. I personally like the 'head rolling' around the 1:19 mark.
