Tell 3 is a new call to action. Tell 3 people that you’re gay. Tell 3 people that you know someone gay. Just three. It shouldn’t be that hard. Let three people know who you are and that you don’t deserve being treated like a second-class citizen; that you deserve equal rights.
—–California voted to get rid of marriage rights for our community.
—–29 other states have done the same.
—–LGBT people get fired from their jobs just for being who they are.
—–Kids get beat up in school for seeming “queer” while school administrators do nothing.
—–Same-sex couples can’t foster or adopt while children in need go without homes.
This needs to end.
Tell three people what it’s like to be gay. What helps people see that we are all really alike is having close relationships with one another.
And the best way to do that is by Telling 3.

Jessica Simpson.
I don’t like her. To me she is a no-talent-hair-tits-and-ass-wannabe-who-never-will.
But now all people can talk about is that she has apparently gained weight. Even women, who should be sticking up for women, are attacking her. Because she got fat, or so they say.
I’ve seen the recent pictures of her, and I’ve seen old pictures of her. She looks a bit heavier, yeah, but she looks healthy and happy, so why drag her down? Why put the most horrendous cartoons of her on the net?
Think about your own child, or yourself for that matter. Would you want that kind of attention for your child? For yourself?
I didn’t think so.
She is still, to me, a no-talent-hair-tits-and-ass-wannabe-who-never-will, but leave her alone.

Michael Phelps.
What is wrong with America that we have a desperate need for heroes, and then we begin to tear them down? Or heaven forbid they get caught doing something, and we all jump on the bandwagon calling them names and ratting them out?
He’s a swimmer, folks; he swims. And he’s pretty good at it, too, because he’s got lots of gold bling to show for it. And after he won that jewelry all of America stood on his shoulders and shouted to the world, Look at us! We.Are.The.Best!
Then Phelps picked up a bong and someone picked up a camera.
Sheesh.
Now, I don’t smoke pot; tried it once….hated it….never again. I also cannot stand the smell. But that’s me. Apparently Phelps doesn’t have the same lack of interest in pot as me. So he smoked, got snapped, and now everyone wants to drag him down.
How dare he?
We trusted him.
What kind of role-model is he?
Well, he isn’t a role-model, people. He didn’t sign up for that. He signed up to be a spokesperson for various companies, and to use his celebrity as a golden boy to make some dough so he could keep training and maybe get some more bling.
He didn’t ask to be a role-model. You all made him one, and then waited like wolves at the door for him to stumble, and then you pounce.
Grow up.

The mother doesn’t owe us answers, although I expect TV appearances and news specials and documentaries and books will come out of this.
Domestic partners, whether gay or straight, would have the right to take family medical leave to care for a partner who is ill, the authority to make end-of-life decisions for a partner and would be entitled to property rights in a partner’s pension and inheritance rights. Domestic partners also would have the same responsibilities as married couples in child custody and visitation issues and paying child support.

My watch must be slow, because I could have sworn her fifteen minutes was up.
There’s a documentary coming out called, Media Manipulation, or something like that, by a man who apparently wants to boink Sarah, because he seems to pitch a tent in his pants whenever he talks about her. About how it wasn’t Americans who elected Barack Obama, but the media.
The media? Really?
The media showed us what was wrong with Palin. An abstinence preaching mother whose own daughter missed the sermon; a woman who couldn’t answer even the most challenging question, like What newspapers do you read? Who, when asked a question, actually said, I’ll get back to you on that.
Get back to you?
I got a flash of a Palin Presidency after Grampa John kicked the bucket, and a reporter questioning President Wink-Wink about missiles being aimed at the US and Sarah saying, Oh gosh, I’ll have to get back to you on that.
Ka-boooooom.
Now there’s this video of Ashley Judd speaking out against Governor Palin’s obsessions with shooting wolves from the sky–much like shooting fish in a barrel, but you’re in a plane and you’re shooting wolves. In the winter. When they can’t hide. Shooting a defenseless animal simply for sport.
It’s murder, Sarah. Murder.
And you think it’s fun.
Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick
>The eight babies – I don’t get. Just for the health of the babies, before birth, what a huge risk. And this gal sounds obsessive from what her mother said. Somewhere someone has to step in and say ‘you’re not thinking straight’. Like folks who plastic surgery themselves into monsters. This gal not only abused her body but has also put 14 children at potential risk. That’s where I think we should draw the line.I shouldn’t read your stuff before I have to leave for work!!
>We think too much alike my friend.
>FP: I agree. Did anyone tell this woman ‘No?’ I don’t think anyone, from doctor’s to parents to the ex-husband to the sprem donor–who’s the father of the other six apparently–did.Dan: That’s a good thing. Right?
>Media Malpractice is the title, and you described him to a T. I saw excerpts from that mockumentary. Gag!! As ever, I agree with all you say on here! 🙂
