Jennifer Hudson Speaks On Lesbian Rumors, Her Gay Fans And Playing Whitney Houston

Posted in: , , ,

Jennifer Hudson, 32, says she doesn't care whether people think she's lesbian. This is in a reaction to public speculation on her sexuality which started more than 7 years ago.

The singer and actress, says in a recent interview that she faced scrutiny again after singing marriage equality anthem, "Same Love" with Macklemore and Mary Lambert at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
If someone ever questions or thinks that, I don't care what you think. It shouldn't matter. And I did get that! People were like, "Is Jennifer trying to tell us something?" Hey, I wasn't, but if you wanna think that, it's all right with me. When I got the call (to do that performance), I was like, "Oh my god, I definitely wanna do this. A powerful statement is being made and I wanna be a part of that."

Read JHud's take on the upcoming Lifetime biopic about Whitney Houston below, and some more exerpts from the interview...

7 Bible Quotes In Support Of Gay Relationships Released By Youtube Activists

Posted in: , ,

After the news about R Kelly's Transguy daughter yesterday, I went searching for what the bible has to say about gays and transgenders. I found these bible quotes by LGBT activist Matthew Vines in a recent video with popular lesbian vlogger Arielle Scarcella.

Matthew is Christain and begins by saying; "Sexual orientation is a pretty new concept. Christians in the past tended to see same-sex behavior as a vice of excess like gluttony or drunkenness, not as a sexual orientation that can be expressed in loving, committed ways. So Christians don't have to reject their faith's tradition in order to accept same-sex relationships."

Traditional Wedding For Gay Couple - An African First

Posted in: , ,


They say culture is dynamic and this was proven recently in South Africa, in the small town of KwaDukuza as a young gay couple said "I do", the traditional Zulu way. 
It was the area's 'First Traditional African Gay Wedding', and if my guess is correct, also the first in the whole of Africa. What I find quite heartwarming is the fact that their parents were present and supportive of them.

Same-sex Marriage Licenses granted in Washington State

Posted in: , , , , , ,

At the elections last month, Washington state where we live made history as one of three U.S. states where same-sex couples were by popular vote, granted the right to get married. The law that legalized same-sex marriage took effect by midnight today, and from the news, gay and lesbian couples eager to exchange vows have been lining up the marriage licensing offices since yesterday.

It was back in May this year that President Obama in an interview made comments supporting same-sex marriage. Some were outraged and others happy. I am all for equal rights for everyone though I admit that on the gay marriage issue, my thoughts are still evolving.
