They Say It, You Love It
Celebs To Love
Many famous people have influenced the public with
their personal statements, ethical works and accentuated life styles. Not to
mention the general awareness they impose with or without them realizing it.
Personal statements are to remember, we both memorize and repeat it when we need to hear them, or we have them ticked in our note books and hung on our fridges so we can take them with us through our days, to remind us of something that we may lose grip of… to some, live by it! Those who stuck with us this month had interpreted many sides of sexuality, family, acceptance, and the fun part. Here are the ones we adore this month…

Jennifer Aniston
Despite the numerous rumors online that Jennifer is a
lesbian, and that Brad left her for his own suspicions, after her marriage
ended in 2005, all we wanted was to see Jennifer married, pregnant and happy,
but there’s something about her that makes you feel she wants to be harbored. The
woman who is seeking independence has changed the image of being single, the
concept of being single even, stating “being single is not that bad”. In a recent interview with the Jordanian
edition of Viva magazine (<pic; left), Jennifer talked about love, marriage and having
children, but one response got us hooked! Aniston responded to a question that
pooled if the traditional notions of marriage are challenged in days today,
something LGBT people (especially in the ME region) could totally relate to, without her having to actually
point it out. “Most women and most men want to find happiness together and
want to raise children in the traditional sense, but society has changed. We aren’t
constrained as much by conventional thinking about what constitutes a family. A
family is not necessarily the traditional mother, father two children and a dog
named Spot. Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your
immediate sphere. I don’t think it’s selfish, I think it’s actually quite
beautiful.” - Viva magazine (February 2011) Jordanian edition
Lady Gaga
Regardless the claims that Lady Gaga wants to become an
ordained minister, therefore, to marry gay fans on stage and to perform gay
weddings! No one gay as Gaga is. She has been all about God and gays
since the beginning of her career, we got to give her that. Her latest single
‘Born This Way’ involves the formation of not just an entirely new universe,
but an entirely new race of humanity, were sexual and sexuality liberation
exists, were racism diminishes… a story of the creation of an extraterrestrial
race which "bears no prejudice, no judgment, but boundless freedom…"
Gaga tells in the prologue in the beginning of the video. “Another song, ‘Americano,’
which she describes as like ‘a big mariachi techno-house record, where I am
singing about immigration law and gay marriage and all sorts of things that
have to do with disenfranchised communities in America,’” Gaga tells American
Vogue (up, left) in the March issue (2011), “Clearly homage to the obscure underground disco record ‘I
Was Born This Way’; it is an unbelievably great dance song, destined to be the
anthem of every gay-pride event for the next 100 years.” Vogue’s Jonathan Van
Meter writes.
Beside all of that, when last year she graced the cover of Japanese edition (November 2010) of men's Vogue Homme (up, left) wearing a meat-slab bikini, and shortly after, making an appearance in MTV VMA’s wearing another design of a meat dress, she confused people when declaring later in the show it was a symbol for gay rights, arming up her political campaign against 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'. "Equality is the prime rib of America, but because I am gay, I don't get to enjoy the greatest cut of meat my country has to offer. Shouldn't everyone deserve to wear the same meat dress I do?" Gaga proclaimed to a rally crowd in Portland ME, where she also discussed it further more with American Vogue again, “There is the fame monster, as you can see,” she says, gesturing outside, “but it also comes from within. It will only change you and affect you if you allow it to. You have to reject all the evils of it and try to turn all the positive things that you can use about fame into great things. Like Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Gaga used her visibility, her unusual connection with her fans, and her social-media prowess to agitate for the repeal of the law, tweeting senators, making protest videos, and speaking at rallies. “That’s me turning my fame into something that is positive and makes me feel good about my life.” - American Vogue (March 2011)

James Franco
James Franco has aroused curiosity about his sexuality
by playing a number of high-profile gay parts in movies such as
"Milk," "Howl" and his upcoming "The Broken Tower".
This is a man who covers the first fashion magazine ever completely dedicated
to celebrating transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, Candy
magazine got the privilege. A man who insists of finding plenty more dimensions
to the gay characters he plays than their bedroom proclivities, a man who wore
a Marylin Monroe costume while hosting the Oscars along with Anne Hathaway, a man who queer movies "struck chords" with him as a teenager, he once told Out magazine (September 2008). This is a man of deviance sexualities, and not only one! "There are lots of
other reasons to be interested in gay characters than wanting myself to go out
and have sex with guys," he told Out magazine about why
he chooses the roles he does and why gay parts are often much meatier than
other ones he's offered. "I mean, I've played a gay man who's living in
the '60s and '70s, a gay man who we depicted in the '50s, and one being in the
'20s. And those were all periods when to be gay, at least being gay in public,
was much more difficult. Part of what I'm interested in is how these people who
were living anti-normative lifestyles contended with opposition." James isn’t
concerned nor offended as much as he’s comfortable juggling his sexuality in
public, knowing exactly it isn’t an issue for his heterosexuality, why should
he? "Or, you know what," he quipped, "maybe I’m just gay." He
said! - As told to the American LGBT magazine Out (September 2008)
Lily Allen
“So you say it's not okay to be gay, well, I think
you're just evil” Lily condemns you! Lily sings for you! And lily loves you! I
bet we all want to be gay around her, probably the only too! She told GT (Gay Times) magazine on how she
supports equality for gay people, saying: "I just feel you have no right
to hate anyone because of how they're born”, "I think if you're a human
being with a heart in your chest, you're the same as everyone else.”
Lily has a world of fairy tales torn just for her, a world where her best friend is distant to be gay! A world without Lily makes it only boring… But besides her outstanding performances in gay clubs, snogging lesbians and having wet dreams about women, what else to track about her? Only what adds to the quirky Lily that she is. But Why Lily? "I've grown up around gay people, black people, adulterers, drug addicts, and I don't treat anyone differently." As She told GT magazine (February 2009)
