Talk if you need to, please. <3

Tumblr user http://shatttered-dreams-broken-wings.tumblr.com doesn’t believe anyone cares about her. Her name is Katie and she is beautiful and I care. Please reblog this so that when she gets out of the hospital, she will know people care.

If you see someone getting hate on your dash, you stand with them. Even if it’s a quick anon message telling them not to let it get them down, do something. This hate, mostly anon, is making beautiful people on Tumblr hurt themselves and leave this world. 

and that’s it. simple. real. unadorned.

Canada Lesbian Couple’s Engagement During Toronto Maple Leafs-Ottawa Senators Hockey Game

In what is likely the most heartwarming video you’ll see all day, a Canada-based lesbian couple took to the ice of a hockey game during intermission for a crowd-thrilling marriage proposal.

As Yahoo Sports is reporting, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan named Alicia was escorted onto the ice wearing a blindfold. When the blindfold was removed, she looked up at the video scoreboard and read a message from her girlfriend, an Ottawa Senators fan named Christina.

The pair embraced before Christina got down on one knee and slid the engagement ring onto Alicia’s hand. After the couple shared a kiss, the Senators mascot raised a sign that declared: “SHE SAID YES.”

Check out this heartwarming video above and get ready for “aww”s

Yep. I cried.

For the last several weeks, a conservative organization called One Million Moms has relentlessly attacked JCPenney for starting up a partnership with Ellen DeGeneres. The group called on JCPenney to fire Ellen as their spokesperson because she’s gay.

Their campaign never stood a chance, as hundreds of thousands of people joined JCPenney, GLAAD and other organizations in garnering support for Ellen online and simultaneously raising awareness about the hardships LGBT people face in the workplace. For example, GLAAD pointed out through this campaign that you can be fired in 29 states just for being gay, and in 34 states just for being trans*.

Finally, One Million Moms has backed down and backed off. The director of the group essentially said there are other things to worry about and this isn’t worth their time anymore. Not to mention how many people in the country are now completely against this group for their hateful speech and actions - yeah, maybe that was part of it too.

“Turns out ‘1 million’ antigay activists just can’t compare to the millions more — moms, dads, sons and daughters alike — who agree with JCPenney that no person should be fired simply for being gay,” said GLAAD spokesman Herndon Graddick. “As a result of this failed attempt to oust Ellen, more people than ever are now speaking out against the injustices faced by hardworking LGBT Americans in the workplace.”

Love, fairness and equality will always win. Ellen’s an absolute rock star and I’m so glad the majority of the world realizes it.

Lionel, 99, and his wife Ellen Buxton, 100, met in March 1930, married on July 18th 1936 and have been inseparable ever since.

The couple, together a total of 82 years, have not spent more than one night apart.

Upon speaking of their marriage, Ellen says:

“We have never been apart really and have never wanted anyone else. We have been married happily because we have been good friends as well as husband and wife.

We have always made sure we have had nice evenings out together. Whether it is going for a romantic meal or out to play bingo

‘We are more in love now than ever. We keep each other going.”
