Ellen Brought To Her Feet, Saying Thanks To The President
Ellen gave President Barack Obama a standing ovation on her show today for his powerful words of support for marriage equality. The statement is the first definitive support from the White House and the first open support of gay marriage from ANY president in history. While he maintains that individual states should maintain control over the issue, his statement is a powerful push in the right direction.
In other words, a VERY big deal. Especially in an election year. Unprecedented. Wow.
Exercising Around The World
This dude is AWESOME!
“Inspired by “Where the Hell is Matt,” I decided to self-fund a 120,000+ mile, 16-country, 18-month adventure around the world. You can read the whole story here: http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/04/16/exercising-around-the-world/.”

Anderson Cooper Giggles… AGAIN.
If you’ve been following me for a long time, you know what a crush I have on my Silver Fox. I love him even more when he giggles like a school girl. An event that happens so rarely, it is truly a delight to see.
Last time was Gerald Depardieu. This time? Dyngus day.
Thanks to Anna AND Cheryl for sending me the link and for thinking of me, lol! Clearly, I haven’t keep my love a well hidden secret. Thanks ladies. :)

Introducing ‘Operation Leprechaun Warrior’
According to his Youtube channel, this is the warmup to his fitness series.
1. Basketball around waist 10 times clockwise and counter-clockwise. Go as fast as you can.
2. Basketball around ankles/shins 10 times both directions. Go fast.

Keep calm & carry on!

Viral Video: Gay Teen Records Coming Out To His Mother
And she’s very proud of him.
It’s a bit of a long video (he’s clearly nervous) and Mom lays out all the worries & concerns she has, before summing up ‘Well, you know I’m okay with that right?”
Hug & kiss.:)
I wanted to share this because 1) it’s fairly realistic (and yes, she does ask ‘well, are you bi?’) and 2) often we focus too heavily on the FEAR and not on the positive outcomes that coming out can have.
It’s a fab video for parents who might be scared to have the conversation with their kids & a reminder that once the ice is broken, other tensions can be released.
Not every family situation is the same, but you don’t always know how someone will react until they have the chance to. In the video, his momĀ admits that she’d watched other teens come out on YouTube, and that she’d always kinda known.
Congrats to Daniel! It’s one thing to come out to Mom, quite another to post it on the net for others to benefit from. Love the love!
