I came across this video while surfing my usual blogsites of interest, and it was too good not to share.

Sixteen year old, Marcella Fruehan wrote this song because, as reported on Towleroad, she wanted “to express [her] feelings in support of anti-bullying. As a 16 year old I see a lot going on around me; especially with bullying and the effects that it has on those who are bullied and what lengths teens will go to to ‘get away from it all. I want you to know suicide is never the answer. Truth is…you are loved, you are not alone…you are never alone.”

It’s a good song and video. Take a look for yourself.

FCKH8 has released a new video in time for Valentine’s Day titled “Valentine’s Day for Homophobes,” which I’ve posted below. You may remember I posted about a previous video about the “Top 5 Reasons People Choose to be Gay.”

Well, the folks at FCKH8 are at it again. If you like, share, and/or tweet this video, they will donate up to $5,000 to fight gay discrimination and anti-bullying measures. So, watch the video and if you like it, share it and help donate to the cause.

“The River”: New ABC Series

I don’t know if you’ve seen the promos for the new ABC series “The River,” but it looks like a show right up my alley!

Not only is it produced by Stephen Spielberg but it’s also directed by Oren Peli of Paranormal Activity fame. If you’re a lover of scary shows (as I am), then this might just be the show for you. With “The Walking Dead” and “American Horror Story” currently not airing new episodes, I’ll definitely be watching “The River,” which premieres tonight!

Set your TiVo’s and DVR’s!

Here’s the trailer for “The River” if you haven’t seen it yet.

A couple of day’s ago, I posted about Ricky Martin’s upcoming cameo on “Glee,” which is slated for next week. Now, we have a video of Ricky Martin singing LFMAO’s “I’m Sexy and I know It” with the “Glee” cast.

If this school were real, I’d have already transferred there!

Here’s the clip.

Canadian Country Singer Comes Out in Music Video

Drake Jensen, a country singer from Canada, recently released a video titled “On My Way to Finding You.” In the video, Jensen comes out to his fans as a gay man since his co-star and love interest in the video is Jensen’s husband.

Jensen was inspired to do the video by the recent rash of gay teen suicides. He even dedicated the video to Jamie Huber, an Ottawan teen who committed suicide after being bullied.

Coming out isn’t easy for the average Joe, but for those who live in the limelight of celebrity, the process is even more daunting. Kudos to Jensen for making such a bold statement!

HBO released a trailer for its new movie Game Change, which tells the story of the 2008 presidential election featuring McCain and Palin. Julianne Moore takes on the role of the former Alaskan Governor and no doubt had a great time portraying the wacky wing nut wannabe Vice President.

Based on the trailer (which I’ve included below), I can’t wait to see the movie.

NH Governor Will Veto GOP Attempt to Repeal Gay Marriage

John Lynch, Republican Governor of New Hampshire, announced during his State of the State address that he would veto any attempt by the state’s lawmakers to repeal gay marriage, as reported in Queerty.

You can listen to what Governor Lynch had to say below.

Thankfully, in a state where Republicans have the majority, enough state Republicans share Governor Lynch’s sentiment, such as Republican Representative Steve Winter, who had this to say to the Concord Monitor:

I’m for liberty and freedom, leaving people alone so long as they don’t harm or defraud other people…I believe what people do with their lives, how they select their mates, is none of my business and none of the state’s business.”

It’s nice to know that there are politicians out there who listen to the wishes of their constituents. As I’ve posted before, most citizens in New Hampshire don’t want to repeal the marriage equality law and have even fought back with their own campaign.

It’s my hope that the politicians in New Hampshire continue to do the right thing and not let the ignorance and prejudice of some politicians to destroy equality in New Hampshire.

Woman Weds Building in Seattle

I’m sure many of you’ve heard the much-used and completely ridiculous argument against gay marriage: if men marry men, what’s to stop a man from marrying an animal or an inanimate object?

Well, in Seattle, a woman named Babylonia Aivaz married a building to protect it from demolition. I know, I know. I had the same reaction too. WTF?!?!?!

According to Seattle new affiliate WCTI:

Babylonia Aivaz invited the Seattle public to attend what she calls the ‘gay wedding’ to the building [this past] Sunday. The building is an abandoned warehouse that is in the process of being demolished. Aivaz hopes to save the space for a community center.”

While I appreciate her commitment to her neighborhood, I wish she didn’t use a serious civil rights issue as her platform. Though her purpose is to prevent the “gentrification” of the “neighborhood she loves,” her wacky stunt will only give Republican and Christian extremists more fodder to hurl against marriage equality proponents.

Aivaz is no doubt committed to her cause, but she is a nut job who deserves to just be committed. With that aside, Aivaz’s “marriage” is doomed to failure as her intended is still slated for demolition.

Here’s the video of the wedding if you want to see the crazy in action.
