Icons are everywhere!

An icon is someone who makes an effort. Art makes an effort. Therefore art is an icon. Marilyn Monroe was and is an icon and a work of art as well. Hence Marilyn Monroe and art have a nature in common. Icon - Art - Marilyn is iconic.

(Gay) Marriage: One Man(Woman) and One (Man)Woman. - As if! I highly doubt it!

Hey you guys out there! I want to take on a serious thing this time and show you why it is important to fight for LGBT IQA rights and gay marriage! I have brought you this video called "Mariage = Biology (Not Bigotry)" by the Nation for Marriage account on YouTube. And I will go along and analyze the messages they send out in the video.


At first I want to announce that this is not a hate post and not a defamation post. I respect everyones believes, but I have a strong believe in constructive criticism and in the separation of religion and law. 

At first, go ahead and watch the video, since my analysis will be easier to read and understand if you have seen the video!


  • I will get right into it and give answer to the central question of the video: "Should marriage be limited to one man and one woman?" - No, it should not. It should be open to any two humans in love! 
  • The next question given by the video is: "Why does the government promote marriage between one man and one woman?" - Actually I don't think they promote marriage? Its not like I have ever seen a poster that says: "Hey! Get Married!"
  • The video states that "Natural Marriage" (Which I will refer to as NM in this post) is for the perpetuation and stabilization of our society. - Well, I disagree. Personally marriage is about love and about taxes. A society could also live without a paper that says you are married.
  • The video continues with the reasoning of their argument in the biological nature. - Well, I get that men and women can have children together. Fine with me, but homosexuality is also natural, why would it exist if its not natural? You can not become gay. You either are or not. If you don't believe me, try to go gay! Good luck with it! If you succeed tweet me @s4mlkueh!
  • The next question in the video is:  "Has the time come to expand our definition of marriage?" - Uhm hell yes! It is not only time, it is long overdue. It is so overdue that I don't want to pay the late charges!  Its do overdue its shaming!
  • Then the video comes to what a government can do in regard of its citizens behavior. They can either promote (I have never seen a government promoting something, but okay I will roll with this one for simplicity!), permit or prohibit it. Well that is fine with me. The video say the government promotes police work since it benefits society and prohibits drug dealing since it harms society. Up to here I'm A-OK with that.
  • Then they go right in and say that the government promotes NM. - When? Where? Why? You mean they allow it! Also let me tell you that the word natural is the biggest misconception since there is no natural. Natural means that it concurs to an original. And there is no proven original to anything. So no original, means no normal. So your argumentation lacks a bit. But okay lets move on!
  • They say that the government prohibits pedophelia and incest since it harms society. - Well once more I'm A-OK with that argumentation. 
  • The video then wants to explain why NM benefits our society:
    • 1. It creates children. - You don't need to be married for that. Use your no-no place with the no-no place of someone the opposite gender and your good to go. Marriage has not really that much to do with the fact.
    • 2. It best raises children. - That is questionable. Set apart from the parents that mistreat their children and the abandoned children, there are many studies proving that same sex couples can do as well as heterosexual couples. And marriage has nothing to do with raising children. You don't have to be married to raise children right. And what about single parents? Don't try to make it about the (possible) children, make it about the people who want to get married, okay?
    • 3. Marriage protects woman. - Excueeze me? You underline that with the following, and I quote: [Women] often give up or postpone their careers to have children from being abandoned and harmed economically by uncommitted men." WTF? There are some words missing. What you maybe want to say is that women often postpone and  or abandon their career to have children and protect them from men? Whatever you wanted to say does (A) not protect women at all, and (B) stop making that all about the children! How would twp men or women marry affect children of two heteros? Goddammit! What you promote is highly anti women and anti feminism!

"Just in!" - Barbie Breakout silences herself and speaks out louder then ever!

Hey there! At first I wanted to write about a new TV series I am addicted to, but ten, scrawling through the internet, I have found a disturbing and extremely important video for the LGBT IQA community. I think that all of you are aware of the horrible situation the LGBT IQA community of Russia has to face right now.


And with exactly that situation the video, which I have found, deals. In the video we can see, I alledge either drag queen or just a person expressing his/hers gender bending (Which I absolutely love, by the way!), named Barbie Breakout. I will form here on go by she, just to make it easier. She is just sitting there and she is sewing her mouth with six stitches! Ouch! That must hurt, but the real question is, why she is doing that? Of course she is doing it to  give us a wake us call, or sew, to make us aware of the LGBT IQA situation in Russia. Russia has created a law that denies rights or so to LGBT people. (Look, I do not really know all the detail on this law, but what I know is that it is homophobic,, against human rights and ridiculous!) And exactly this leads to torture, humiliation and incarceration of these people, their families and their friends. And with sewing her mouth she wants to makes us aware of the situation, speak up against this law, help where we can , protest as often as possible and support the community! And I have to say that what she did was one of the bravest things I have ever seen anywhere. But also it indicates how painful the situation must be, how hurt one must be, to take such measures. Because, let me tell you, that must have hurt, and I hope she is fine right now. Bless you Barbie Breakout!
