So much for "Love Thy Neighbor.."

Christian Contemporary Music singer/writer Vicky Beeching recently 'came out' as a lesbian, and the news has sent shock waves among those who have accepted Christ as their Lord and savior.
The British singer told The Independent the following:
“What Jesus taught was a radical message of welcome and inclusion and love. I feel certain God loves me just the way I am, and I have a huge sense of calling to communicate that to young people."
Beeching states that she realized she was gay when she was 13 years old. She felt conflicted about her feelings and had many evangelical leaders trying to pray the "demon of homosexuality" out of her.

Many Christians are now throwing a shitfit on the news of her 'coming out' and condemning her for living a "sinful lifestyle." Her Facebook fanpage has dozens of comments from (former) fans saying that she's a "disgrace" and that she needs to "come back to Jesus." The comments are enough to make your blood boil and your skin crawl. I've even heard that radio stations are now boycotting playing her songs, and Christian stores will refuse to sell her records.

This is precisely the reason why I don't identify myself with a religion. Vicky Beeching hasn't done anything wrong. All she has done is be honest with herself and with her fans. Her only sin is that she LOVES differently than straight people. Why condemn someone who is loving another human being?

Let me break it down for you guys:
Being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, asexual, or pansexual is NOT a sin nor disgraceful. No one CHOOSES to be gay. Gay people are born gay. Lesbians are born lesbian. Bisexuals are born bisexuals. And, straight people are born straight. The only CHOOSING going on here is the CHOICE to be happy with who one is on the inside.
The bible-thumping assholes can say all they want about "homosexuals being an abomination," but why should we listen to a group of people who believe in a work of fiction written by some misogynistic, racist, homophobes thousands of years ago?

I know that Vicky Beeching is steadfast in her faith, and that is great. She needs to continue doing what she feels is right and walk with her head held high. She shouldn't let religious shitheads tell her that she's an "abomination." What Vicky Beeching did was incredibly brave and she will definitely help a lot of Christians who are trying to come to terms with their sexuality.

I've heard some of Vicky Beeching's music and it isn't bad! Here are some of her best CDs below!

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
