Amazon’s Founder Pledges $2.5 Million in Support of Same-Sex Marriage

Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his wife, MacKenzie, have agreed to donate $2.5 million to help pass a same-sex marriage referendum in Washington State, instantly becoming among the largest financial backers of gay marriage rights in the country.
With the gift, the couple have doubled the money available to the proponents of Referendum 74, which would legalize same-sex marriage in the state by affirming a law that passed the Legislature this year. Courts or lawmakers have declared gay marriage legal in six other states, but backers of such measures have never succeeded at the ballot box.
Proponents of the effort in Washington State called it a game-changing gift that gives them a fighting chance in November.
“To get this from a straight, married couple sends a powerful message that marriage is seen as a fundamental question of fairness,” Zach Silk, the campaign manager for Washington United for Marriage, said Thursday in an interview.
Mr. Bezos, who founded Amazon.com in 1994 in Seattle and remains its president, now tops a growing list of heterosexual business executives who are replacing wealthy gay people as the some of the biggest donors to the movement behind same-sex marriage and equality for gay men and lesbians. Bill Gates and Steven A. Ballmer of Microsoft each gave $100,000 to the referendum campaign, according to its officials.
But with the seven-figure gift, Mr. Bezos — a famously private executive who runs a $48 billion-a-year retail empire — has now set the bar even higher.

Uganda held its first Gay Pride

This weekend, activists in Uganda held their first Gay Pride. This is a country where homosexuality is punishable by death. This is a huge step for human rights, and I can’t even fathom the bravery it took to participate.

Can you imagine that the worst place in the world to be gay is having Gay Pride?” Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera asked a crowd of cheering gay men, lesbians, transgendered men and women, and queers somewhere in between. It was Saturday afternoon, and we were on the shores of the giant, cloudy Lake Victoria in the Ugandan city of Entebbe, where L.G.B.T. activists had decided to stage the country’s first Pride Parade. Nabagesera, a lesbian activist covered, for the occasion, in glitter and neon spray paint, with homemade angel wings, was being half-sarcastic. A barrage of media coverage has painted the country as a hell for gays—a place where they are suffering and being attacked constantly—and, despite the need to combat such threats, L.G.B.T. Ugandans were tired of hearing a story that ignored their nuanced experiences of both joy and hardship. But Nabagesera was also sincerely pleased: a crowd of nearly a hundred people had come out, fears of arrest notwithstanding, to celebrate their existence. The air was thick with confetti, paint fumes, and anticipation.

As the parade began, in a convoy of marchers and cars blasting more music, people held up signs like “African and Gay. Not a Choice.” Children who lived nearby flocked to the parade, and adults stared, clearly stunned, and, in some cases, amused. The marchers chanted, “We are here” (a reference to those who say that there are no gays in Africa), and danced and sang in a chorus that was at once moving and exciting under a rainstorm of ribbons and flags. Nabagesera’s German shepherd trotted around in a rainbow-colored handkerchief. A woman named Claire said, “Even if Lokodo came today, he could not stop us.”

I'm back bitches! This time for real!

Okay I'm seriously back now! 

I've just got back from a 2 week camping trip through out Bosnia, Montenegro, Croatia (doh) and little parts of Serbia. It was awesome, I absolutely loved it! We usually camped by lakes and rivers so we had the opportunity to rent kayaks and canoes and go rowing! Oh we also went rafting! It blew my mind!! :D

If you're not sure what the differences are between them here's
a little reminder! :)

Thankfully I didn't flip over once.

The rafting part pretty much looked like this. I didn't take my camera with me (we got really wet) so I didn't take any photos but take my word for it, it was beautiful! :D This picture is of the same river but was not taken by me.

It was much more sunnier though. :)

The wilder parts of the river looked like this.

So yeah! It was wild and amazing and filled with adrenaline! :D

Here's some pictures that I took.:)

Our tents :)

As soon as we got to this camp by the river Sutjeska, I walked over the river
and sat on the other side. It was overwhelming.

A little cottage we spent one night in. We got it
with the rafting package.

Honestly, I've got no idea where we were at that point..
Some more cute cottages in the background :)

This was taken in a camp by Dubrovnik, it was lovely! :)

Personally I don't like figs, too sweet for me but my mum
adores them and fortunately for her we were staying
in a camp filled with fig trees. :D

As you can see, it was magnificant! And that's only a third of the pics.. Well you got the point, I had a blast.

One thing that annoyed me though were the mosquitoes and my step brother screaming like a little girl every time he saw a little spider.. For an example, I took a picture of this guy one morning.. Thankfully he was on the outside of the tent but I've found many more.. All in all.. it was fun :)
I just had to share! :D

P.S. I'd greatly appreciate it if you would comment or at least vote down here if you liked it or not.
Was it amusing or did it suck balls.. etc
I swear I will stop rambling now..
