Retired WWE wrestler Steve “Cold Stone” Austin came out for same-sex marriage on his radio program.  In a delightfully expletive filled section, he states,

” I’m for same-sex marriage… . I don’t give a shit if two guys, two gals, guy gal, whatever…. whatever it is, I believe any human being in American or any human being in the God Damned world who wants to be married.. and if it’s the same-sex, more power to ’em.”

Lily Allen – F**k You

Fuck You StillI love this video made if France to Lily Allen’s wonderful song “Fuck You”.  This has been a sort of anthem for me and my husband as we’ve navigated the homophobia in the US.  It is only fitting that we send the same message to Putin and the asshats running the Russian government.

Read this open letter from British actor, writer and activist, Stephen Fry.  He ends with this:

 

I am gay. I am a Jew. My mother lost over a dozen of her family to Hitler’s anti-Semitism. Every time in Russia (and it is constantly) a gay teenager is forced into suicide, a lesbian “correctively” raped, gay men and women beaten to death by neo-Nazi thugs while the Russian police stand idly by, the world is diminished and I for one, weep anew at seeing history repeat itself.
