OPM Director John Berry - It Gets Better

John’s a friend. I see him all the time either at the grocery store, walking down the street, on a bike ride, or in meetings. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and the highest ranking openly gay official in the United States and he has an incredibly personal and empowering It Gets Better message.

“Now I know: God does love me. More than I could ever have imagined. And God made me just the way I am. And God doesn’t make junk.”

“And as to my career fears: I am the highest ranking openly gay man in United States history. I have stood on the North Pole. And the South Pole. I have managed 40% of  United States Law Enforcement, including the Secret Service, the Park Service, and I’ve even been director of the National Zoo. You can be whatever you want. You can love whomever you want. But only if you first love yourself.” 

reblog this if you’re straight and support this. i have identical twin uncles who are both gay. what does that tell you ?

LiNK - Liberty in North Korea

Please watch this. A  lot of people don’t know what happens inside the country. The standard stereotypical view of North Korea is, “Communists, Kim Jong Il, nuclear bombs” and many other things. Do you want to know what really happens?

Everyday, North Koreans die. Most of them die from starvation, the rest die in concentration camps. You’re thinking, “What concentration camps?”, right? They teach us in school about the genocide on the Jews. They keep telling us that we must learn from history so we do not repeat the same mistakes.

It’s too late. The concentration camps in North Korea are said to be worse than the one’s that the Nazi’s used. They test the nuclear chemicals for their bombs in gas chambers on the people. Why are they sent there? Because they either complained about the one bowl of corn they get a day or they tried to contact someone outside of the country for help.

They have no communication with the outside world. No computers, no cellphones, no TV unless it’s censored by the government. Staying there means you die. They try to escape, but they end up dead trying. If caught by the Chinese government, they are sent back and executed. They are humans, they deserve to be treated like it.

Please help. They need you.
