My 2 Pence - US LGBT Couple Inequality

Check out this video which highlights exactly why LBGT folk should be given the same rights as any male and female couple:



The writing is on the wall with this one. I'm nobody's activst but whether or not you understand why homosexual couples get together is irrelevant. The fact is if two people are in a serious relationship and have merged lives and something happens to the other, the living partner should be recognised by law. Its messed up that in 2011 ignorant people feel as though people choose to take the sexuality hard road and the nonsense that comes with it. I'm glad that we in the UK don't have this problem.

@TysonKobiethe1 Announces Twitter Departare

Friend to the Blud Blog Tyson Kobie announced that he is closing his blog and twitter and departing to concentrate on a professional bodybuilder career under a new stage name.

I for one am I little sad by this as anyone that follows Kobie knows that he a hoot! Witty, sexual and eye candy for the masses, Kobie has built a successful brand over the last few years with his club / pride appearances, youtube videos and studio work, especially as being a one man show handling biz ain't easy!

The positive in all this is that Kobie is carving his own lane toward mainstream success (and the $ that comes with it) and I am happy for him.

So Tyson (I know you are reading this), good luck for the future and don't be a stranger ;-P
