What if your best friend fell in love with their soulmate and wanted to marry them...and were told that they couldn't?
What if YOU found the person you were meant to spend the rest of your life with, and you were told you weren't allowed to?
This is the plight of gay people everywhere. Every day,in addition to the social stigma that they have to bear, gays everywhere are denied the right to marry.
This, to me, is completely illogical. Love is love. All love is equal, and the love between a man and a woman is no better than that love between two men or two women.
In addition, I would just like to point out that homosexual couples routinely report being happier (on average) in their relationships than heterosexual couples, and that a large number of adults who deal with depression and bipolar disorder are children of divorce. Homosexual couples are less likely to break up, and they are more likely to raise their children in a tolerant and loving environment. I'm not saying all gay couples are good and all straight couples are bad (I'm straight, so obviously I don't think it's bad), but I just want to debunk a bunch of the myths surrounding that particular issue. I'm not posting sources on here, look it up.
And if you bring God into it, then personally, I find it hard to believe that God would hate any form of love. God teaches us to love one another, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation.
All love is equal. Equal rights for all.
Keep it classy and fabulous!

A Review: He's Just Not That Into Me.
Sometimes we have to review the things we don't want to review. Like accounting. Or chemistry. Or vector calculus.
One lesson that every woman should understand and review regularly: "He's just not that into you."
We kid ourselves every day, saying, "Oh, he's busy," "Oh, it's finals week," "Oh, he got too drunk," "He's in a meeting," "His grandmother died," "He got hit by a car."
WRONG. It doesn't take any amount of effort to text someone a quick "Hey, how are you?" If he likes you, it will show. Below I have some other major lessons, plus links to corresponding videos (click on the title of the lesson).
Class is in session.
Lesson 1: If he wants to call you, he will call you.
Men do what they want. Always. So wouldn't it make sense that if the rest of the time, men do what they want, that they will do what they want to get something they want? For example, call a girl they want to date? Basic logic says yes. So if he doesn't call or text, give it up.
Lesson 2: You are the rule.
You know how Cinderella got the marry the prince even though she never told him her name and she was poor and out of his social class? Or how Sleeping Beauty's prince randomly came and saved her? Or how the prince came and woke up Snow White even though he didn't know her and oh, yeah, she was dead?
Fairy tales aren't real life. They're STORIES. So no, sorry, you are not a fairy-tale princess. If your Prince Charming cheats on you, lies to you, doesn't call, or is only about sex, he's not Prince Charming, and again, he's just not that into you.
Lesson 3: If he breaks up with you, he doesn't want to be with you. For whatever reason, women seem to think that a breakup is just a jumping off point for negotiations. If he breaks up with you, HE'S NOT COMING BACK. No matter what BS line he uses when he dumps you.
Well, that's it for today. Sorry for being cynical, but I just felt like saying it.
Keep it classy and fabulous!
