It warms my heart to see people standing up for their fellow human beings.

Props to Adams to stand against bigots and discrimination

Why does the governor of Mississippi think _anyone_ should be walking into his daughter's shower? What kind of house is he running?

This is what I will never understand. Say I was abused by a Catholic priest and crosses are offensive to me. That doesn't mean I have the religious right to NOT see crosses. Someone wearing a cross is infringing on MY rights? See how stupid that sounds? What another person does or doesn't believe isn't infringing on my rights. It's the same with LGBT rights. If you don't want your daughter learning how to turn around and not look at something she is uncomfortable seeing, than it's YOUR responsibility to pay to put her in a Catholic school. Not every one else's responsibility to not offend YOU. Grow up you live in a world with a lot of different people.

Hey! I don't like the politics in another country. I'm going to break my contract with those who hired me to do the job and with the fans who purchased tickets!
