Last week was big news in gay politics. It's gone to the Supreme Court of the United States! Challenging the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 which restricts the right to marry only between a man and a woman. Evidently the Supreme Court is finding itself in 'uncharted waters'. I won't divulge into debating this issue until the ruling. I for one support gay marriage. If people defend marriage so much to exclude others who would like to have the same opportunity- someone needs to be explaining divorce in as clear a manner.

The subject matter is poignant on the heals of the Pope being replaced after questionable resignation from the church with strict reference to contemporary break down of the Catholic religion. In addition, the Boy Scouts of America delayed the decision to allow (openly) gay scouts. With this, Madonna made a fashion choice last week in a scouts uniform to protest the organizations antigay policies at NYC's GLAAD Media Awards.
Oz the Great and Powerful was observed this weekend with no preconceived notions. A wonderful cast and some scenes were completely enamoring & I was mesmerized. On the flip side, many costume choices were lacking in construction or appropriateness & believability of characters at times were compromised in part by the choices. A very imaginative movie with some really incredible parts, others, not so much. This was a major motion picture and for that, I don't discredit but raise my expectations. I would rate this movie 3.5 stars out of 5- with recommendation. (3D version might be nicer)

Spring is an awakening which should inspire & bring a new. Take advantage. Fresh flowers always exemplify these charactaristics of the season. I bought some myself!
