Harry saved me from gay hate attack: Prince in extraordinary showdown with troops who threatened gunner | Mail Online.

Harry happened to mention that he and his brother had been told they were gay icons. I laughed and told him that I didn’t think that was the case. He became really adamant saying, “What? What? We are! Our press people told us.”

‘Harry then asked if he couldn’t be a gay icon because he was ginger. It was all very funny.’

Seriously, how can anyone not like this kid?

How President Obama Won a Second Term | Politics News | Rolling Stone

Reading up some classic stories today. Carville is the man. How many god’s honest truths that you have to accept or you will never understand how campaign work are there in this article?

One of my faves,

Remember, for Obama, there was a great strategic dilemma as to whether to present Romney as a flip-flopper or as someone who is for the rich guy. You had to pick one, and they picked “for the rich guy.” If you’re going to be successful in politics, you have to pick one. One of the great statements of the Kerry campaign was when they said, “We have a nuanced and layered message.” It can’t be nuanced and layered and be a message – it just can’t.

For Jackie Robinson and Jason Collins, the freedom and grace to play as you are

Random conspiracy theory musing of the day: if he were plucked from or groomed for this role it really is a brilliant pick on the part of unseen hands.

The first guy is an African-American NBA star?

Opening the door into a lot of communities; there with a positive example to relate to and imagine when they hear gay man.

Lotta doors opening in that one coming out of the of the closet.

If it were somebody’s pick, it’s a brilliant one.

Poll shows how US Muslims are like Protestants – and how they’re not

Ding Dong…

Why, hello backwards American whitey-white idiots!

Your jeezus-name-dropping asses have nothing to fear from your Muslim neighbors. Like you, they are defined more by being an American than the particular branch of Abrahamic religion they practice.

And  (in the tradition of my spouting from my peanut gallery positioned soapbox …) the quoted paragraph below mirrors what my (albeit limited) experiences with the people of Pakistan always showed:

In Pakistan, for example, three-quarters of Muslims say that non-Muslims are very free to practice their religion, and fully 96 percent of those who share this assessment say it is “a good thing.”

I only bring this up to to point out that many Muslims are more enlightened, accepting, and open-minded than your backwards asses!
