Krista Siegfrids performed her song ‘Marry Me’ at Eurovision In Concert in Amsterdam, and kissed her back up in protest against Finland’s ban on gay marriage From her interview with The Independent: “I don’t think ‘Marry Me’ is political, it’s about love and tolerance. But gay marriage is not allowed in Finland and that’s wrong. I wanted to make a statement about that.” The European Broadcasting Union may ban the controversial conclusion to Siegfrids’s performance – a “gay kiss” with her female dance team – to appease broadcasters in Eastern Europe, where homophobia still thrives. The Russian parliament passed a bill outlawing “homosexual propaganda” in March. Siegfrids said: “Homophobic people are angry with me for doing this. But I’m planning a surprise at the end of my performance. It’s live on TV, so nobody can stop me.” You can watch the video of the live performance here.

Nina Simone - O-o-h Child

Lyrics [(1970) Stan Vincent]

O-o-h child things are gonna get easier
O-o-h child things ‘ll get brighter
O-o-h child things are gonna get easier
O-o-h child things ‘ll get brighter

Someday we’ll get it together and we’ll get it undone
Someday when the world is much brighter
Someday we’ll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Someday when the world is much lighter

Note: This is a cover of the song by Nina Simone. The Song is originally by The Five Stairsteps.

Note: I am sharing this song because I really like this song and think that lyrics are amazing.

Rick Santorum Musical Parody on ‘The Rosie Show’

It’s no big surprise that Rosie O’Donnell doesn’t support Rick Santorum as a viable candidate for the presidency, considering his stances on homosexuality, gay rights and same-sex parents. But she’s found problems with much more than just that in his campaign, as she mentioned in a song she wrote to skewer him on “The Rosie Show” (Weeknights, 7 p.m. EST on OWN).

More recently, Santorum has been covering the media circuit trying to get his message out there and clear on issues of women’s contraception. He’s recently targeted Romney for his own more moderate views on it, hoping that his more conservative stance about whether or not contraception should be covered by health insurances will appeal to the right.

“His quotes are getting dumber by the day, he thinks he’s already Prez,” O’Donnell sang.

“He’s anti-gay. He’s anti-black. That little Rick’s so anti, anti, he’s an anti-vigilante. “How can he say he’s the cream of the crop, for America what a shame.”

No use considering a thing that he says, he’ll lead the USA astray.

Santorum how he reams and rants, he’s a true Republican’t.”
