  1. Hey Saranon if Middle Earth has it im guessin that means Narnia has same
    sex marriage too !!!!! YAAAH !! LONG LIVE PETER, EDMUND,CASPIAN, AND THE
    BIG KITTY CAT ! (Im certain he too APPROVES ~)

  2. What a lovely and joyous video. It makes me feel genuinely sorry for those
    hate-filled posters that can’t share in the joy and that, like those that
    jeered and beat the Freedom Riders in America, will be relegated to the
    dustbin of history.

  3. My earlier post (about the Icelandic group singing in a German train
    station) reminded me of another time with spontaneous song moved me to
    tears. Earlier this year, the parliament in New Zealand approved same sex
    marriage. The poor head of the chamber tries to keep control but
    exuberance takes over and people in the gallery break out into a song
    called Pokarekare Ana — a Maori love song, which is considered an
    unofficial national anthem in NZ. School kids are taught it from a very
    early age. It’s lovely and this moment is so electric that the singing of
    this beautiful song just takes my breath away. Here’s a translation of the
    lyrics:

    The waves are breaking, against the shores of Waiapu,
    My heart is aching, for your return my love.
    Oh my beloved, come back to me,
    my heart is breaking for of love for you.
    I have written you a letter, and enclosed with it my ring,
    If your people should see it, then the trouble will begin.
    Oh girl, come back to me, my heart is breaking for of love for you.
    My poor pen is broken, my paper is spent,
    But my love for you endures, and remains forever more.
    Oh my beloved, come back to me, my heart is breaking for of love for you.
    The sun’s hot sheen, won’t scorch my love, Being kept evergreen, by the
    falling of my tears.
    Oh girl, Come back to me, I could die of love for you.

  4. To anyone who issued a homophobic comment, I ask of you, “Why? What makes
    homosexuality so wrong that you need to say it in front of many others? Why
    can’t you keep it to yourself?”.
