Ricky Martin Accepts the Vito Russo Award

Ricky Martin accepts the Vito Russo award
during the GLAAD Media Awards in
Times Square.

"I've been through an intense spiritual process for the last five years, especially the last two years," the "Livin' La Vida Loca" singer, Ricky Martin, said after being presented the Vito Russo Award during the annual ceremony at New York last March 20.


The Vito Russo Award is presented annually at the GLAAD Media Awards. It is named in memory of Vito Russo, a founding member of GLAAD and author of The Celluloid Closet. The award is presented at the GLAAD New York annual event to an openly lesbian or gay member of the entertainment or media community for outstanding contributions toward eliminating homophobia.


Openness, compassion, peace and harmony are what we need right now. We say NO to inequality and hypocrisy. 

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

Today is the 11th of October and Canada is celebrating their Thanksgiving Day! Again, Google never fails us to give a new doodle to celebrate it. 


During the second Monday of October, is an annual Canadian holiday to give thanks to at the close of the harvest season. 


On January 31, 1957, the Canadian parliament proclaimed:

A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed ... to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October.

When Canada is celebrating their Thanksgiving Day, United States is celebrating their own holiday which is Columbus Day.


Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!
