"Fidelity" Don't Divorce Us

I am Canadian, and I believe in Gay Rights everywhere, including the right to marry, and right now legally married homosexual couples in California are being threatened. Ken Starr (of Bill Clinton scandal fame) has put forth a legal movement to nullify the marriages of gay couples in California, in response to the passing of Proposition 8 last fall, and this touching video is trying to get the word out that that must not happen. In passing such legislation, government would be undermining loving, committed relationships and the families created from those unions (not to mention taking away the human right they already have to choose who they marry, for goodness sake). It is important to spread their message of love everywhere, not just in the current hotspots. I feel so fortunate to live in Canada at a time like this. All love is recognized as equal here, and we can marry our partners freely, regardless of gender. I figure the more people who see this video, who get a little more exposed to the perspective of these gay families, the more everyone will see just how alike we all are in our ability and right to love. We can, and must, push out the ignorant, divisive mindset that is trying to dictate something we should all unite together for. After all, what are any of us without love?

Let's spread the message - please enjoy this video:

This is What a Feminist Looks Like

I was originally going to write an inspired post about this subject, but my mind is elsewhere tonight and I can't switch out just yet. Anyway, I came across this video in my drafts folder and realized I'd forgotten to post it, so here it is. I love it and I hope you will love it and join me on the Feminist train!!

Village Voice - Worst Lyrics of 2008

I heard that Nickelback received the honour of Worst Lyrics of 2008 for their song "Something In Your Mouth". I had to check out just how bad the lyrics were and who they were competition with, and the results actually shocked this liberal chick!! Maybe I'm not as liberal as I thought, because lyrics like "I'm a venereal disease, like a menstrual bleed" totally had my jaw on the floor. Some of the finalists' submissions (I like to think they all campaigned hard for the top prize) are even more vulgar, so if you'd like to read more click here - I just can't copy that sh*t on here in good conscience.
