A lazy Sunday trip to the beach. I love Whitley Bay in the winter. It's so peaceful.

A women after my own heart! It's hard out here for a bitch. The backlash against this video I'm sure is on the way. But for now I will just enjoy the catchy beat and sarcastic undertones.

Dear Amy: I recently discovered that my son, who is 17, is a homosexual. We are part of a church group and I fear that if people in that group find out they will make fun of me for having a gay child. He won’t listen to reason, and he will not stop being gay. I feel as if he is doing this just to get back at me for forgetting his birthday for the past three years — I have a busy work schedule. Please help him make the right choice in life by not being gay. He won’t listen to me, so maybe he will listen to you. — Feeling Betrayed Dear Betrayed: You could teach your son an important lesson by changing your own sexuality to show him how easy it is. Try it for the next year or so: Stop being a heterosexual to demonstrate to your son that a person’s sexuality is a matter of choice — to be dictated by one’s parents, the parents’ church and social pressure. I assume that my suggestion will evoke a reaction that your sexuality is at the core of who you are. The same is true for your son. He has a right to be accepted by his parents for being exactly who he is. When you “forget” a child’s birthday, you are basically negating him as a person. It is as if you are saying that you have forgotten his presence in the world. How very sad for him. Pressuring your son to change his sexuality is wrong. If you cannot learn to accept him as he is, it might be safest for him to live elsewhere. A group that could help you and your family figure out how to navigate this is PFLAG.org. This organization is founded for parents, families, friends and allies of LGBT people, and has helped countless families through this challenge. Please research and connect with a local chapter.

Chicago Tribune, Washington Post and NPR contributor Amy Dickinson, everyone. Quick, get this woman a TV show. (via Amy Dickinson)  (via gaywrites)

It is crazy to me that people in this day an ages still believe that being whatever sexual orientation is a choice. It's as much a choice as being born with blue or brown eyes. 

If you asked any of the LGBT, do you think if it really was a choice, they would have picked a life where they are discriminated against? Where to just marry the person they love is impossible in many places? Where in some countries it is a crime punishable by death? Some how I don't think so. 

When will people learn that equality is what everyone deserves.

Thank you, Albuquerque!

After an unprecedented effort by extreme, outside groups to try and determine what health care women in Albuquerque should be allowed to access, the voters spoke loud and clear—and rejected a city-wide 20 week abortion ban. 

Last night’s resounding victory in Albuquerque is a message for anti-women’s health groups nationwide: Bills that aim to restrict women’s ability to make their own, private medical decisions will not stand. The voters have spoken: Women deserve access to the care they need—no matter where they live, no matter what.

The fact that majority of people who brought forth the idea of banning abortions in America are men speaks volumes. Women have a right to choice, this does not mean that I am pro-abortion! But I believe every person has the right to decide about their own bodies.

Why Girls Should Not Cut Their Hair Short

Written by RogerSterlingJr

This article should be renamed “Why Feminism is still needed. And Desperately.” I saw this pop up on my facebook newsfeed, thankfully because someone else was equally as appalled at is as I was, and I had to take a look. I don’t normally post feminist/equal rights related posts on this blog, but frankly I am so angry and so sick to my stomach that I couldn’t care less any more. I got to the end of the first paragraph and I wanted to vomit, talking about how “knockouts” like “Catwoman” and “Hermione” (not even gracing the actresses with their actual names) had fallen “victim” to short hair. As if these women had only chosen to cut their hair out of some minor lapse in judgement, and not because sometimes it’s nice to have short hair, because they felt like a change, or maybe because damn, they look hot with short hair regardless of your sexist opinions! If these women wanted short hair, it was their choice, because they wanted it, because it is their body and they don’t live to cater to you and your LAD mates, who, in reality are little boys who don’t seem to have two brain cells to rub together in that empty space between their ears. Then came the passage about Jennifer Lawrence. I love that woman, not just because of her stand on weight in Hollywood, but that is particularly relevant because of this. I love that she is a healthy weight, she isn’t big but she isn’t thin. She is sexy, she is drop dead gorgeous and she has openly acknowledged, and with some pride to boot, that she will be one of the few female celebrities never to have anorexia rumours spread about her. Then this “article” has the audacity to say this: ”If you have any female interaction on social media, whatsoever, you may also have seen Jennifer Lawrence’s new ‘do. Though every chick on the planet begs “Can we just be best friends? Why is she perfect?” you’d only bang her if she lost ten pounds. Now, shedding some lbs. might not even do it. Lawrence didn’t go full-on pixie short, but the results are equally disastrous. Should have cut her dessert instead.” Yes, because every woman’s aim in life is to lose weight so that they can warm the bed of some frat-boy and his tiny prick! As if any man who held opinions like that would stand a chance with a woman like Jennifer Lawrence, or Anne Hathaway, or Emma Watson, or any woman with half a brain, let alone intelligent, stunning women like those.  ”There are certain things about girls that a guy only notices if they are spectacular or spectacularly awful. Tits, ass, legs, and a couple other things stand out regardless, but a girl’s eyes are only worth noting if they look photoshopped in real life or if they are hanging out of their sockets.” Wow … WOW… by this point in the article, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Tits, ass and legs? Gee, isn’t it great that a woman’s worth can be entirely based on the size of her tits, the pertness of her arse and the whether or not a man wants to spread her legs! This may not be the consensus of the general male population, but reading some of the comments underneath this seriously made me question my faith in humanity. This so called “article” borders on the hilarious as it reaches it’s climax, where it offers another reason not to cut your hair. Well, it says, you don’t have to cut it just for us, think of all of the bitchy comments you’ll get from other girls. Think about how they will laugh when that short hair makes your face look fat. Citing that if you want to have your hair cut short, do it, but only if you aren’t between the ages of 18 and 28, because that is the “female sweet spot” when all women apparently have to spend their lives impressing men, so that they can leave their fathers and find that husband they have dreamt of their whole lives, leave their jobs and devote their lives to this husband who judges them solely on their physical attributes. Pah! What a joke! I don’t give a damn about impressing guys, or girls for that matter. When I dress up, it’s because I want to look sexy, I want to feel sexy, for me! And when I don’t feel the need to, I don’t. I will cut my hair short, and go out in my jeans and hoodie with no make up on. Shock horror, frat boys! I don’t do this for your benefit, none of us do! Women are people too! They have their own thoughts, their own hopes and dreams and they not everything they do is to cater to small minded misogynists like you? Wow! /s I would like to point out that this is only one article amongst many on this vile website. My faith in humanity took a nose dive this morning, and I’m going to need something serious to restore it.
