Here’s this week’s quote I love…
“Love is always bestowed as a gift — freely, willingly, and without expectation… We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.”
-Leo Buscaglia
Isn’t it lovely?

Give a Damn!
Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…
Today I’m loving the Give a Damn Campaign
Equality. Get Informed. Get Involved. Give a Damn!
“The Give a Damn Campaign is for everybody who cares about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.
But, it’s especially for all you straight people out there! Whether you’re already an active supporter, want to show your support for the first time, or hadn’t given equality a lot of thought before and now want to learn more, we are here to help you get informed about the issues and get involved, at a pace that works for you.”
Learn more at: wegiveadamn.org And grab a banner for your site at: www.wegiveadamn.org/stuff/ They have some cool ones with stats that I hope will make people think.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Quote I Love: The most wonderful of all things in life
Here’s this week’s quote I love…
Yes, I’m posting another quote about love this week. I’m a hopeless romantic. I freely admit it.
“The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.”
-Sir Hugh Walpole
Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week and that love accidentally finds you if it hasn’t already.

Video I Love: Cuteness I Couldn’t Resist
Once a week, I post a video I’m loving. Here’s this week’s…
Cats will do ANYTHING for food.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a big animal lover, and this cute (slightly odd) vid made me smile today. I hope it does the same for you.
Hope you have a great week!

Obama extends health care rights to gay partners
Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…
Obama extends health care rights to gay partners
“The White House on Thursday released a statement by Obama instructing his Health and Human Services secretary to draft rules requiring hospitals that receive Medicare and Medicaid payments to grant all patients the right to designate people who can visit and consult with them at crucial moments.”
“It said Medicare-Medicaid hospitals, which include most of the nation’s facilities, may not deny visitation and consultation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.”
It’s a start. A step toward ending discrimination in a time of great importance like the hospitalization of a loved one.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Quote I Love: Playing Gay
Here’s this week’s quote I love…
“People sometimes think I’m gay because I once played a gay in a movie. It’s funny. Audiences don’t think you’re a murderer if you play a murderer, but they do think you’re gay if you play a gay.”
-Perry King
Anyone have any thoughts on why this might be true?
Hope everyone is having a nice week!
