And what's wrong with it anyway? It's a positive message about self-acceptance. That's a problem?
I didn't have a problem with the video until that ass--le, who wants society to view her as a man, stood up to show that she was pregnant.

lol. They want people to accept them for "who they are", but they can't accept themselves for "what they are".


How messed up is that?

Oh, cool. It's been over a week since Orlando. Good to see you're all feeling comfortable enough to start hating on those nasty gays again. Now things can get back to normal on City Data! Whew!

Not falling in line and accepting everything pushed at you doesn't mean you HATE anyone. That's a real simple concept that everyone always misses. People can disagree with one another without hating each other. THE MORE YOU KNOW!

I never had a problem with "these people" in the past.
Hell, I used to stick up for them and even had friends that lived the lifestyle.
But that was then. My opinion changed when they all became militant and shoving all their crap in my face all the time. I turn on the tv and it's all gay gay gay or lbgqtsv whatever all the time. And they're all pist off and angry all the time. Do what you do and blend in. Stop making an issue out of everything and constantly shoving it in my face. Nobody cares that you are gay anymore. Get over it. You can marry and have health benefits and all the goodies that straight people have. The war is over. Go home.

No one's pushing anything at you. It's your own problem if you're overly sensitive & take everything personally. Quit staring at people holding hands in public or kissing. Quit thinking about gay sex.

They only had that little rainbow heart (or flag, I don't remember) for one day. They don't have it now.

I see nothing wrong with it. Agree with their life style (whatever that means) or not, there is nothing wrong to show sympathy and compassion towards your fellow human beings who lost lives.

What did the people of San Bernardino get? Remember those people were shot throwing a baby shower for the couple who shot them.....our leader went golfing, so why is this different?


NYPD has a rainbow police car........what did that cost us?

They got a nation mourning for the victims. You got a problem with that? Tough.

It's pretty obvious when companies pander but most people see this stuff and just think"awwws", which SHOULD be reserved for cat videos... but whatever.
Good point.......I prefer all of them to stay out of politics. I use to love watching Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon.........their political rants has changed that. The only one I have forgiven is Cher.




awwws are also for goat videos!
