'It Gets Bigger': A necessary parody

Image
Towleroad reports : The folks over at Epic Level Entertainment and director Josh Staman teamed up to create this video, "It Gets Bigger," a PSA telling young men around the world that, well, it will get bigger. "It Gets Bigger" is obviously a loving a take on Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" campaign. And Savage must have liked it, because he posted the video over at Slog .

Same sex marriage proposal during hockey game goes viral

You know where it's not a big deal when one woman proposes to another during a hockey game? Canada, that's where. A video shot by the Ottawa Senators during a St. Patrick's Day game Saturday has ignited awwwws across that country and ours, and beyond, with the footage of two ladies in love sharing one of life's big moments: the marriage proposal. Set to Bruno Mars' "Just the way you are," the almost 2-minute segment has captured the attention of not only hockey fans, but fans of love everywhere. In the video, Alicia Walton (in the blue rival Toronto Maple Leafs jersey and accompanied by Senators' mascot Spartacat, aka "The ambassador of fun") thinks she's on the ice for a promotional game, but in reality, her girlfriend, Christina Bionti (wearing the hometown Senators red) has set up the gag as an excuse to get down on her knee, pull out a ring and propose. The crowd goes wild — not goal scoring wild, but in a more awww shucks kind of way...

KONY 2012 sheds light on Uganda conflict

Kony 2012 is a documentary film about the little-known conflict that has devastated Uganda since the early 1980s.

The video related to the campaign has become a surprise viral hit, being viewed nearly 4 million times in two days. More info at Nine MSN .

Florida Grand Opera does a random act of culture at MIA

Image
Let's face it: Miami is pretty much the last place anyone expects to see a random act of kindness, much less one of culture that doesn't involve a covert sex act in a public bus or a parking lot off Biscayne. But passengers at Miami International Airport were treated to quite a surprise and highbrow burst of the arts last Wednesday when several among them began singing . Members of the Florida Grand Opera emerged from coffee shops and ticketing lines to perform two-minute operatic selections at six different airport gates, foregoing ball gowns and bow ties to take center gate in casual clothes and a lot less makeup. The six performances were all part of the Knight Foundation 's Random Acts of Culture series, classical versions of flash mobs and videobombs. More at the Huffington Post Miami .

Italian pro-gay marriage clip: "I'll Marry You"

This stunning pro-gay marriage video from Italy, titled "I'll Marry You," depicts a handsome Italian gay couple tying the knot. But their female friends aren't left out in the cold -- in a surprise twist, a lesbian couple also gets engaged at their reception. The video was produced by Italian LGBT advocacy group Arcigay and features music by Lorenzo 'Jovanotti' Cherubini, according to Towleroad . The clip is similar in both tone and execution to the Australian "It's Time" clip , which went viral last year. Though Italy bans discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, ethnicity and nationality, the government reportedly voted against a bill that would have extended similar protections to its LGBT residents last year.

A Valentine's letter to a pixelated boyfriend

Both sweet and sad, Seattle vlogger Matty Brown shares this video to his boyfriend. Accompanying the video is a note explaining its origins: It wasn’t meant for anyone else’s eyes, but I thought the message was sincere and good enough to be seen by others…This is the Valentine’s Day video by me for my partner, XXXXXXX XXXXX. My partner lives somewhere across the Atlantic. He lives a very hidden life because of the way his society will treat him if it found out about him being gay. I’ve made this video for him to show the support and passion toward my Love and human rights. It was supposed to be a private video, solely for my boyfriend’s eyes, but it turned into a statement of fighting for the one you love when I realized I wouldn’t be able to say his name or show his face in the video. XXXXXXX, Happy Valentine’s Day! Someday society will let us feel fully accepted! (Via Queerty )
