Its Okay To Be Gay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hlCEIUATzg&feature=youtube_gdata_player - Ellen Page

I don't often openly talk about my sexuality, but this is so true. I am incredibly lucky to have such amazing and supportive family and friends who have made me comfortable enough to be able to be myself. It took me a long time to be able to feel comfortable to feel that I could be openly gay, all because of being too aware of how other people perceive you and how they can treat you and make you feel.

Being able to love and be loved by another person is an incredible experience regardless of whether they are the same sex as you and no one should feel ashamed of this. I think that everyone should be able to experience loving another person and being loved by another person without feeling as though they should hide their feelings. Everyone should feel comfortable enough to be able to express their love for another person without feeling as though its wrong.

I am so lucky to have my girlfriend - one of the most kind, caring, supportive and loving people I know. I'm even luckier to be able to not feel the need to hide our relationship as I know so many people do. Its incredible to know that my girlfriend is my best friend, my present and future.

I hope that it continues to get easier for people to 'come out' as I know for so many people this is such a difficult step and so many people as so apprehensive of how their families and friends will react. Not only this but I hope that people continue to be supportive of those who aren't straight and fit the 'norm' as its that support that makes people feel as though they can be themselves and not hide their true self and be someone that their not.  Particularly as each person has so much to give no one should feel the need to hide themselves.

I hope that others can see as I have learnt that its okay to be gay and that you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not.

My View: Teens Exposed

Recently I had a 'run in' with a lad who though it was okay to post explicit photos of his ex girlfriend online as pay back for her cheating on him. I completely disagreed.

Regardless of the gender I feel that it is never okay to share something that is meant to be so personal and private and make it completely public and place it somewhere where it will be available forever and could potentially damage their future career. Plus both parties could regret it in the future but due to where it has been put in a moment of anger they aren't able to take it back.

The moral of this story is that if it is avoidable (which in theory it is) don't share these kind of photos however, people will and do so make sure it is with someone you can completely trust and that you are aware of the risks involved afterwards.

Imagine if that was your daughter...

Personally I think that those who one the awards all deserved them and I’m really pleased that Adele got the awards she received, especially British Album of the Year for her multi platinum album ‘21’ personally I think it’s an incredible album. Although this was overshadowed by the fact her  her acceptance/ thank you speech was cut short by the presenter of the awards James Corden who had been instructed to do so by ‘the suits’ (producers/ directors) of the awards in order for Blur to be able to perform. This resulted in Adele making a rather naughty gesture before the lights went down for the beginning of Blur’s set.

In my opinion Adele shouldn’t have had her speech cut short, she is one of Britain’s biggest current musical successes and she was receiving one of the biggest awards for the night. I’m quite sure that if she was allowed to finish she wouldn’t have gone one for too long and it wouldn’t have made the awards overrun their scheduled time slot by too much than it already had. Also yes it a live show, but football matches over run so surely an allowance could have been made for the awards? Not to mention the fact some of the other parts of the show and acceptance speeches dragged on more than I thought they should have.

I thought Ed Sheeran’s performance was amazing. as was Adele’s. Personally I was completely taken by Olly Murs vocal performance although the set did look pretty impressive. I thought that Rihanna’s performance was pretty okay although it was pretty much the same as all of her other performances in my opinion. I’m not a huge fan of Blur’s but they did close the show well although it wasn’t to my taste.

What’s you thoughts of the Brits? Let me know in the comments.
