Tweet of the day: Explaining homosexuality

Tweet of the DayAs you can see from the date stamp in this Tweet, I’m a bit late to the game, but the message is still relevant. Explaining homosexuality is only difficult if you have difficulty with someone being gay. So deal with it because I’m not going anywhere, and I’m definitely not going to let you perpetuate your demeaning stereotypes no matter how much you rap your homophobic opinions in faith.

Tweet of the Day: Will Ferrell

Gay MarriageThis tweet was making the rounds yesterday.  In just 140 characters Will Ferrell has touched upon two current issues of social justice (not to mention common sense) that are near and dear to me. Wish he had thrown in a reference to the death penalty – could’ve scored the ever elusive #HumorHattrick.

Tweet of the Day: Richard Branson

Tweet of the DayWhile the US Congress continues to do nothing meaningful with regards to passing gun control legislation, Richard Branson took to Twitter to taunt their inaction. No doubt some of you will recognize the cadence of his tweet, which echoes the taunts hurled at President Johnson during Vietnam war protests.

Thanks to Joe.My.God for the tip.

Tweet of the day: Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen

Yesterday GLAAD reported that the band Train has also pulled out of the Boy Scouts of America event after GLAAD asked performers to reconsider supporting an organization that bans gay boys / young men.

While I’m hardly a Jepsen fan, I’m sure there are many who will be attending the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree who were excited to have her perform and perhaps her public decision not to join will help raise this issue again.  Well done Carly and thank you to all the performers who have showed their support.

Off to Puerto Rico

travelThis afternoon I will dash off to the airport and if all goes according to plan, I’ll be checking into the W Retreat and Spa in Vieques by 8pm.

While away, my blogging may lag, but I’ll certainly be tweeting so join me on Twitter.  On my last visit to Puerto Rico some of my tweets included  hashtags  like #HotDaddy and #UglyFriskyCouple.  There is something so much more interesting about people watching while on vacation.

Tweet of the year: This seat’s taken

This seat's taken

President Obama’s response to Clint Eastwood’s routine at the 2012 Republication National Convention was the coolest dis I’ve seen on social media.

More about it here.

Tweet of the day: Homophobia

Jon GnarrThe Mayor of Reykjavik, Iceland clearly calls it like he sees it.  I can appreciate his candor and find it refreshing for a politician to take a bold stand against homophobia and homophobic slurs. Hat tip to blogger, JoeMyGod, for bringing this to my attention by posting the Tweet.

Boston Lesbian

Her Tweets direct you back to a hilarious Tumblr page – this is my favorite, When Someone Tells Me They are Voting for Mittens.
