Gavin Creel's NOISE video is live on Youtube!!


This video is so powerful that I don't even have the words to express how I feel about it. The images contained within and the message Gavin is expressing in it broke my heart and rebuilt it multiple times in the span of 6 minutes. My admiration for this man just continues to grow and grow and grow. And Andrew Keenan-Bolger is a brilliant director. I'm in awe of them both. I dare you to watch this video and not get even a little choked up.

It's time to put a stop to the madness. Please watch. Buy the single. Make some NOISE. It's time to put a stop to the madness.

And for those who just want the specifics of where I am...

First glimpse of me, right up front next to my friend, S. I'm in the tie-dye shirt and dark skirt, three from the right.

The beginning of the line before we all appear. We appear at 4:03 and you can see me several times after that in the same general location as you did in the still-ish frame.

...and she has some fantastically constructive ideas for what to do about it when I just... don't. Damned Fred Phelps. I wish I could have been quit of his idiocy when I left Kansas. :-P

From Lynn Flewelling's LJ entry:

"It's all over the news this morning, so I won't even bother with a link. The US Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, says that the 1st Amendment protects the rights of the hate spewing Westboro Baptist Church to picket military funerals with signs that say that God hates America because of our permissive attitude toward homosexuality. A few choice sign quotes: "God Hates Fags" "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "Thank God For 9/11"

From NPR: "Asked why anyone would bring signs reading "God Hates Fags" and "You're Going to Hell" to a funeral for U.S. military personnel, church leader Rev. Fred Phelps said last year, "When the whole country is given over to sodomy and sodomite enablers ... the country needs this preaching.""

( The First Amendment Cuts Both Ways )

What's terrible? I remember those signs. They used to use them to picket outside the Topeka synagogue every Friday night, too... and presumably still do. @$$holes.

a multifandom pride meme


"In light of Tyler Clementi, this is an all-fandom request meme centered around the theme of positive sexuality attitudes. This includes coming-out stories, rights fights, straight supporters, anything as long as the topic has to do with perception of sexuality, and focuses on good experiences rather than bad ones.

We have to remember that being accepted is still a privilege, not a given. So many people are still dealing with prejudice and bullying and negativity because of their sexual orientation. The fight is not even close to being over.

Leave a comment with a pairing and a prompt, and try to fill as many prompts as you can! Any kind of fanwork is encouraged - fic, art, graphics, picspams, poetry, fanmixes, and anything you can imagine. Any pairing is go - a het pairing is fine as long as the theme is still something to do with non-hetero concepts.

Any kind of put-downs or grossly negative commentary will not be tolerated."


I just thought this was a fantastic idea, so I thought I'd give it a boost to those few people who read my LJ. How about some Hair prompts? Just sayin'... ^_^

Proposition 8 is down. I repeat, it is down. Hell, yeah!!

Good for you, Judge Walker! Now let's take this thing nationwide. We can get it done, people! Let's finish this. ^_^

Woo-hooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D *jumps up and down doing the happy dance*
