“It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings — one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one. Today, for the first time [according to the Navy], the happily reunited couple was gay.”
Love should exist in all forms, everyone. ♥
Love is love is love.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwlgs3u4ME1r3m00qo1_500.jpg)

How is it possible that a computer program can recognize this, but a human can’t. It doesn’t make sense.
He’s really clever

Delicious Dissent of the Day: While St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School begrudgingly allowed its unofficial gay-straight alliance to move forward with its anti-homophobia event, it banned the display of rainbows, which the Ontario-based institution said are “associated with Pride.”
“There’s so many other things that a rainbow could be,” said the unofficial GSA’s 16-year-old founder, Leanne Iskander. “It’s ridiculous.”
Refusing to let the school’s anti-rainbow policy stop them from being Proud, the students decided to bake multicolored cupcakes and arrange them in a rainbow pattern. The best part? There were rainbows baked inside.
The event wasn’t without its hitches — the school banned most of the group’s literature on gender identity and safe sex and refused to allow the money raised to be donated to an LGBT charity — but Iskander vows to keep fighting the good fight until every Catholic school in Ontario has its own official GSA.

This Is Important, You Should Know About It of the Day: Openly lesbian Syrian blogger Amina Arraf, who fearlessly wrote about her country’s political turmoil at A Gay Girl in Damascus under the nom de plume Amina Abdallah, was abducted last night by armed men while on her way to a meeting in Damascus.
Her cousin Rania wrote about the abduction on Amina’s blog: “Amina was seized by three men in their early 20s. According to the witness (who does not want her identity known), the men were armed.” Rania goes on to report that the men covered Amina’s mouth and hustled her into “a red Dacia Logan with a window sticker of [president Bashar al-Assad’s deceased brother] Basel Assad.”
The Guardian says Amina — who is an American citizen as well — “had become increasingly popular after capturing the imagination of the Syrian opposition as the protest movement struggled in the face of the government crackdown.”
Supporters have taken to Facebook and Twitter to draw attention to Amina’s unlawful seizing, but, according to Rania, it’s unclear who took her or why. “Unfortunately, there are at least 18 different police formations in Syria as well as multiple different party militias and gangs,” she wrote in a recent update. “We do not know who took her so we do not know who to ask to get her back. It is possible that they are forcibly deporting her.”
Updates on Amina’s situation will be posted on her blog.

Memo To Home Depot: Thank You For Supporting Gay Rights
*********************************************************
Recently, the American Family Association (AFA) presented Home Depot’s board of directors with AFA’s demand that they stop funding gay pride events and other events that promote tolerance and diversity.
The AFA had a petition with about 500,000 signatures from people who have vowed to boycott the store unless it joins them in their campaign against gay people.
Home Depot responded with a resounding “No Way!”
From boingboing:Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake told the AFA to take a hike, stated that Home Depot was proud of its support for diversity, and that’s that.
Like all big box stores, Home Depot isn’t without its problems, but today, they’ve shown some real backbone.Click here to sign our petition to say THANK YOU to Home Depot Chairman Frank Blake for taking this strong stand.

My heart, it breaks in the truth of this.
I sure hope we can organize something similar in the Philippines! <3 LOVE is LOVE is LOVE.
I want to live in a Philippines that is more open-minded, inclusive. A country that does not hold double standards and recognizes an individual’s right to be protected from discrimination and violence. A country that recognizes the equal right to love.
PASS THE ANTI-DISCRIMINATION BILL NOW!
UPDATE: 300,000 around the world have already signed this urgent call. Add your voice now to keep up the pressure!
Can you please sign and share this petition demanding that Ugandan President Museveni stop the human rights violations by publicly vowing to veto the “Kill the Gays” bill?
In the next 24 hours, conservative lawmakers could move a bill that would make being LGBT in Uganda a crime punishable by death.
This hateful bill is part of a pattern of the Ugandan government’s violent repression of pro-democracy forces within the country - and time is running out to stop it.PLEASE SIGN. We must not allow this law to be passed.
PLEASE. JUST PLEASE.
