“I don’t think it requires us to go negative in the sense of us running a bunch of ads that are false, or character assassinations,” Obama said, as reported by Univision.”It will be based on facts.”

“We may just run clips of the Republican debates verbatim,” he added.

Sassy president is best president.

I love him. I don’t agree with everything he does but he has got to be one of our brightest/funniest presidents to say the least.

“NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!”
Mrs. Weasley threw off her cloak as she ran, freeing her arms. Bellatrix spun on the spot, roaring with laughter at the sight of her new challenger.
“OUT OF MY WAY!” shouted Mrs. Weasley… Jets of light flew from both wands, the floor around the witches’ feet became hot and cracked; both women were fighting to kill.
[…]
“What will happen to your children when I’ve killed you?” taunted Bellatrix, as mad as her master, capering as Molly’s curses danced around her. “When Mummy’s gone the same way as Freddie?”
“You — will — never — touch — our — children — again!” screamed Mrs. Weasley.

Before you laugh and scroll down read this. This is my best friend Lizzie. Lizzie was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago. And at the time, she was being raped and abused. She is such a joyful girl that I love to death and death might come soon. She just started going through kemo therapy and this is her after it. She adapted a severe case of depression after this. Reblog this to show you care. No its not gonna make your blog look ugly or stupid. It shows the strength of a beautiful girl, more beautiful than any half dress girl on here.

Keep strong, Lizzie! You are beautiful.

Tumblr, I never post things like this, but I am asking you- from the bottom of my heart- to read this in full. Thank you.

This is Mitchell Wilson. Mitchell was an 11 year old boy about to start Grade 6 in Pickering, Ontario. Two years ago he lost his mother to cancer, and a year after that, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy.

The doctors told the Wilsons that daily walks would slow the atrophying of his muscles, so Mitchell would often walk around the neighborhood by himself.

Last fall, Mitchell went on a walk and borrowed his father’s iPhone so he could listen to music and call home to see what time dinner would be. He was jumped by a boy from his elementary school, who stole the phone and smashed Mitchell’s face into the pavement so hard he broke his teeth.

The alleged mugger was suspended from school and the Wilsons pressed charges. But the bully’s friends would continue to harass Mitchell, following him around and making fun of the way he walked. Mitchell’s father says he was never the same after the incident, and he stopped his daily walks, which led to complications with the muscular distrophy. He had to use a walker at school.

The day before Mitchell was set to start Grade 6, he received a subpoena for court to testify against his mugger. He was terrified of facing the boy in court. When his father went to wake him up for school the next day, he found Mitchell dead. He had committed suicide, at age 11.

I was about to go to bed last night when I clicked on the link to this story. I almost couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen many sad news stories and I know that awful things like this happen ever day, but it really hit home, and I couldn’t stop crying. When I look at his picture, I lose it. I have a little brother who was bullied in school, and I was, too. The worst was around the ages of 11 or 12. People still mention that I’m sensitive- well, you would be too if you were endlessly mocked from the ages of 7-15 for things you couldn’t help (including your looks and the way you spoke), or got the shit kicked out of you for saying the wrong thing. When I found out it was happening to my brother, years later, my blood boiled and I wanted to go all vigilante, but I knew it wouldn’t help a thing. I just listened and made sure he knew I was there, and gave the best advice I could. Mitchell Wilson didn’t have anybody to tell him that it would pass. Because it does pass. But when you’re eleven and the world’s against you, it doesn’t feel like it will.

Hardships like losing a parent and then being diagnosed with a slowly crippling illness are bad enough, but having to face that kind of bullying on top of it is unbelievable. It wasn’t just verbal, it was physical. Mitchell Wilson didn’t deserve this. No kid does.

A 17 year old boy from Hamilton ended his life just days after Mitchell, and the Ontario Trillium Foundation has already donated a $130,800 grant to a local Hamilton suicide prevention line that will allow them to work more closely with schools. I’ve contacted them, and so far nothing has been set up for Mitchell Wilson’s school, area, or in his honour, so this is what I will be doing.

If Mitchell had known of a place he could call and talk to someone, or if he had been paired with a Big Brother or someone who could level with him and keep him from hurting himself, or if he had even been aware of all the help he could have received, maybe he would have taken it, or spoken up. Now the boy who mugged and assaulted Mitchell may have the charges against him dropped because Mitchell won’t be there to identify him. This is unbelievable.

If you google him, there are fewer than ten articles about this. It angers me that this isn’t getting attention because it isn’t a “cause-celebre”- Lady Gaga isn’t forcing this story into the media. How young does a person have to be? How much more tragic can the story get for it to be noticed and have the proper attention paid to it? What if it had been your sibling, your cousin, or your child?

I will be working with Kid’s Help Phone, the Trillium Foundation and SAVE (Students Against Violence Everywhere) to try and get funding for Mitchell’s school and area, similar to what the Hamilton area received, and hopefully also a dontation to the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada.

Mitchell Wilson deserves it.

I’m gonna go on a small rant here.

So being gay is something to be proud of then? I think it’s funny that most gays are all about equal rights but they want us to treat them differently because they’re gay. They don’t want special treatment but they should have pride in their sexuality. So does that mean we can start having straight pride parades? Or would that be “offensive”? If being gay is natural, why are we drawing so much attention to it? If you’re born gay, why should we have to applaud you as if you made a huge life-altering decision?

I mean, I don’t care if you’re gay, but come on. You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.

Yes, being gay is something to be proud of, just like being intelligent, funny, black, Hispanic, etc. are things you should be proud of. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of who you are (you should try it sometime). The difference is no one says that being intelligent, funny, black, or Hispanic is wrong.

We want to be treated differently because the way we’re currently being treated is not the same way straight people are being treated.

Saying gay pride is “giving gays special treatment” is like saying Black History Month is giving blacks special treatment or like saying that Cancer Awareness Month is giving cancer survivors are current patients special treatment. Gay pride is simply a way for queer people to come together as a community to support one another. It’s about love, support, acceptance, and straight people are more than welcome to participate in pride parades. We welcome support from everyone (at least most of us do).

We live in a society that celebrates heterosexuality, so straight pride parades happen every single day. If you want your own float and you wanna prance down the street, more power to you, buddy. I mean, as long as straight pride is also about love, acceptance, support, and gay people are also welcome.

We draw attention to homosexuality because homosexuality is still viewed as “wrong” or “immoral” in today’s society. Paying attention to something does not make it unnatural.

No one is asking for anyone’s applause. We do not need your applause. We are simply asking to be treated the same. We queers are tax-paying citizens, so we should be given the same rights as everyone else. That’s not asking for applause, that’s asking for equality.

Why not? Most straight people have their cake and eat it all the time, and they eat it in front of our faces while laughing at us.

Open your mind a little bit. You’re thinking like a homophobe.
