state of being... or crisis?

First off, Usher's comment in the 2008 issue of VIBE magazine about lesbians made me laugh so hard, I almost peed on myself. No joke. It's completely absurd... here's what it said: "Women have started to become lovers of each other as a result of not having enough men."

HA! Are you serious Usher? Looks like you've got cake on your face. Okay, even if you wanted to "solve" that problem you've created in your mind, are you going to be the one rallying the troops together to fix us lesbians? I'm sure you'd love to cheat just one more time so you can make another Confessions album and this time put in there how you "cured" lesbianism... but that's just it. We are lesbians... and not by choice. We are lesbians because we love other women. You can have twice as many men on this planet, and we're still going to want a woman. That's how we were born.

Lesbian: (noun) A woman whose sexual orientation is to women.

Now that we have that knowledge... let's move on to different issues. Angelina Jolie did a public service announcement for World Refugee Day on June 20th.

God on ya, Angie.

Now, I can't say that I'm actually looking forward to her new movie Wanted, because I've been waiting for it for over a year now... so at this point I'm just thinking, "Alright already!!! Give us the damn film!" However, I keep seeing all of these trailers for it and can't help but realize how incredibly skinny Angelina is getting. Seriously honey, eat a biscuit!

Poor Ms. Jolie. I hope your babies don't come out malnourished. Either way, I'm sure they'll be freaking gorgeous... once they've fattened up a bit. No one likes the skinny cow in the pasture. :)

So now that gay marriage is legal in California, (hopefully permanently... fingers crossed!!!) does this mean Angie and Brad are going to wed? She did say that they were going to wait until everyone could marry, did she not? And now that you don't have to be a resident of Cali' to marry there, is it time for her and Mr. Pitt to tie the proverbial knot? Hmm...

One thing's for sure... there's a lot of other people getting married on the West Coast. (ie: Ellen and Portia.) I think it's amazing that people who love each other can express it legally! If only we could get the other states (and our parents) to change their minds and let us be equal! Isn't it just the craziest thing that oppressed people can have pride? It just goes to show that we have a mentality that somehow states, "You can hold us back, but you can't break us. Just don't expect to hold us back forever!" I'm so happy that the "most popular" state in America is making a public show of ending inequality... even if there is a governor there who refers to some men as "girly men." We can't change everybody's mind.

Well, congratulations to all of those happy couples out there. I'm looking forward to picking up my wedding license some day too!

Make History.
