You Know You're Gay When...


So, I came across this interesting article on Christwire.org that lists ways to tell whether your husband is secretly gay or not.

"Right now in America there are over 2 million couples secretly struggling with homosexuality in their marriages."

If these people are "secretly struggling" ... how is this an accurate statistic?

The site lists tons of ways to be a clever wifey and "out" your closeted hubby. It also states that if you answer yes to the questions they pose, you may want to ask yourself "whether you’re honestly looking for a man or just a shopping companion. Is sharing gossip more important to you than raising children?"

Here are my top five favorite ways to tell if your husband is gay:

1.Feigning attention in church and prayer groups
2.Overly fastidious about his appearance and the home
3.Gym membership but no interest in sports
4.Sassy, sarcastic and ironic around his friends
5.Travels frequently to big cities or Asia

Hmmm... I may have married a gay man... aside from the traveling to Asia thing, my man fits this list to a T... So... what else could possibly be assumed?!

Ridiculous! I cannot believe people actually believe this crap!

Dancin' in the Streets!!




It was announced just a few minutes ago that a federal judge in San Francisco decided today that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry!! Prop 8 was struck down!

"U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker said Proposition 8, passed by voters in November 2008, violated the federal constitutional rights of gays and lesbians to marry the partners of their choice. His ruling is expected to be appealed to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and then up to the U.S. Supreme Court."
(From the Los Angeles Times)

As a Los Angeles native, I can say that I am finally glad to see my home state doing something right! This is a huge win for gay rights and I believe a true win for humanity. Love is love and how can anyone in their right mind argue with giving all people the right to express their love through marriage?!

Good going Judge Walker! Hard to believe this guy was appointed by Mr. G.W. Bush!

Target Audience


Listen up, particularly all you local Mid-westerners, Target and Best Buy, both based in Minneapolis, have recently donated $250,00 to a political committee that supports Tom Emmer for Governor of MInnesota. Emmer is in fierce support of vetoing marriage equality legislation and has ties to a Christian rock band that advocates violence and even death to gay people. Um... quick question... since when is violence a "Christian" value?

Emmer is also pro-life and is in support of making it illegal for pharmacists to distribute contraceptives!

Well, I say shame on Target and Best Buy! It is odd, considering both companies have strived over the years to be a fair and equitable businesses. According to the HRC, Target and Best Buy have both consistently received 100 percent ratings on the HRC Foundation's Corporate Equality Index.



As a new mom, I feel like I live at Target sometimes... well, I can tell you one mama that will be taking her business elsewhere unless they can make this right. Babies R' Us, here I come.

Sign the petition by HRC to tell Target and Best Buy exactly how you feel about this issue:
