A Tribute to Gay Couples

Well, Brad and I have one more week to go before final exams! This week we're finishing up with classes and next week we take our finals. I swear I don't think the week is going to get here soon enough.

I. Want. This. Semester. To. Be. Over. Right. Now. If. Not. Sooner!

We're going to be doing some short posts this week since a lot of our time will be spent studying. So... on to today's post:

I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of Lady Gaga. I know her music is not to every one's taste, but she's been very vocal about her support for gay rights. She also speaks out against all kinds of bullying.

We're both members of the Young Adult LGBT Group on Goodreads and our friend Kaje posted this video last week. Enjoy.

  4. Great video! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    I really like her music and what she stands for. Even my son, who is a hardcore rocker, likes her songs. :D

    Good luck with the studying. No distractions until after study time, Matty...lol.

  5. I liked this, because I think the effect is to say "you are SO not alone. Gay couples are everywhere and look like all of us. This is how it should be." Glad you liked it too.

    Best of luck with the studying. Take breaks, and provide each other with positive reinforcement ;) You guys will do fine. I have no doubts.

  6. We live in a world full of labels. We need to get rid of them because all they tend to do is limit us. We are human, we are each an original and we are as we were meant to be. It does not matter who or how we love...as long as we love.

  7. I vaguely remember seeing this posted but was too distraught at the time to pay attention. Although I'm still enough of an emotional wreck that it has me tears. I'm glad you shared it here and I got to actually see it this time. It is absolutely beautiful and I agree with what Kaje said about the message it sends. Again it goes back to Love is Love, plain and simple, no if, ands or buts.

    I am sure you will both do just fine on your exams. Don't get burnt out with the studying, perhaps you could even find a way to make it fun ;)
    LOVE AND HUGS

  8. Each time I hear this song I can't help but think about The (gay) Edge of Glory vid you had also posted a few months ago and that always put a big smile on my face.

    Loved this vid, too. Thanks for sharing.

    And Brad & Matt, fingers crossed for your exams. Sure you will do great. ;)

    Hugs to you both.

  9. One more week, guys, you can do it! Good luck on your exams.

    I love the message <3

  10. This is the kind of message that works for the young ones, images of regular couples, doing every-day things, with inspirational music. We are all the same, love is love, gay or straight.

    Lovely :-)
