  • It does`ent matter what sex you are. If you love someone so be it.

  • Listen, I think that as long as the two are happy, honest and respecting of one another thenwhats the big deal???? No one has the right to judge!!! I am straight and I have friend who is like a brother to me who is gay....whem he first came out to me, I told him that no matter what he will always be my friend and we have been friends for 9 yrs now and counting

  • Beautiful video

  • Check it out...great video!

  • @MainelyButch Thanks! :D

  • Hey I was wondering if you know of a video showing some quilt, it was made at a equality raly or something like that. I cant remember where I heard about it. But I do remember how emotional the people were when they were talking about it. I was hoping there was a video on here abou it. I think it might have been on the docu of harvey Milk, or Mathew sheppard...i cant remember :( ugh stupid brain fart lol

  • The AIDS quilt? I am sure there are several videos of it, I do use a couple of pictures here in my video. They display it on the National Lawn in DC once a year. I am fortunate to live in that area, it's very overwhelming to see it displayed. Each quilt square represents someone that has died of AIDS.

  • @HeathersArk AH HA, Thank you. I will look for a video of it. Im in need of some good inspiration, and to regain some hope for humanity. :-)

    nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's love for my family that will not allow the

    redifining of marriage into perversion for

    the perverted few.

  • And it is my love for all mankind that allows me to not treat people differently or like 2nd class citizens because of sexual orientation, race, religion, etc.

  • Orozco11rom148

    Could you elaborate for me who "the perverted few" are please,are you a bigot through choice,or just a bigot through any lack of real intelligence?........and besides,as long as you're not one of the "perverted few",,,,,,why do you care how other people live their lives?

  • Heather, awesome video. moved me to tears. i'm old enough to be your dad. bashed at 20, lost more than half of my friends to AIDS by 25... funerals, wiping asses and kissing away tears, fights, marches, protests, rallies, actup. than suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, i look into the mirror and see wrinkles. i still can't believe its me.

    keep on keeping on, there are children coming up behind you that depend on it. fight hate always.

    equal rights = human rights. life is a conversation. thanks!

  • Loved your beautiful and wonderfully creative video. I wish there were more people like you - pro-active in sharing their love for humanity. Thanks so much

  • Heather, this is an incredible labor of love. The Lord Bless and Keep you . Your fighting for civil rights does not go unnoticed. "Life is short and it hurts. Love is the only drug that works". A Rocky Mountain News Columnist.

  • Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Live and let live!

  • LOVE IT.

    The song is perfect!!

  • Thank you! I hadn't seen this song used for this kind of message, for some reason I was listening to it one day and really listened to the words .... this is what I heard.

  • Excellent video! Thank you for making and posting it!

  • Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Take care!

  • Heather, thank you so much for sending this. Wonderful vid! Peace, Andrea

  • Sin is only a reality to dumbasses who accept the fairytales and legends of sillyness known as Christianity or Islam. You should keep your childish behavior and beliefs to yourself, because your childess beliefs have made you a bigot.

  • Yes. It has always puzzled me that there are Christians out there that use thier religion to justify their hate. As a child I was raised Protestant. I don't remember the message ever being hate. I remember that we are all God's children, not to judge, turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor as thyself....don't hear that too much from the fundies.

  • Says you and all the other mortals that wrote the Bible. No mult. versions (not translations) or revisions nec. if it is the word of God. I assume you have actually read the Bible. Research what was common practice and catch phrases and terminology. Apostle Paul was a Greek and Hebrew scholar. Had he wanted to say the equivalent to homosexual he would have. Eunichs were even allowed in the church. Jesus didnt discriminate. The Bible is worded very differently pre-cross vs. post-cross.

  • You are very right hate is not inherited it is taught. It is not a disease it is a sickness. It can however be inbred to a child at a young age so the cycle continues (aka WBC-Fred Phelps family). ARGH what a world. Thanks for commenting.

  • There's a reason why "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught" is still performed all over the world...

  • Note that ALL of the 'preachers' & politicians who've been BUSTED in same-sex scandals are CONSERVATIVE EVANGELICALS, who'd previously spent their entire lives spewing anti-gay hate from their pulpits & in their legislation.

    Freud called it 'Reaction Formation'.

    Look it up. ALL homophobes are guilty of it.

  • Thanks for the comment. I agree, the question I always ask myself is "What true Christian would turn people FROM the church rather than TO it?". None is the answer. That sums fundies up in a nutshell (nut being the key word there, LOL).

  • Absolument, HA.

    Where were the 'spirit-filled & righteous' people during the Civil Rights & Women's Lib Movements, when people were fighting for their rights? They were on the other side, trying to make sure that NO ONE gets their full rights restored, and, there's NOTHING 'Christ-like' about that at all. When have they ever fought for ANYONE else's freedom? Have they EVER used the Bible to free ANYONE, as Jesus did?

    Why do they treat others the EXACT OPPOSITE of how JD taught?

  • Exactly! We think a lot alike!

  • It is all cyclical, we teach people how to treat us. They spew hate so their children will turn and do the same. We are all products of our environment. I truly feel sorry for the Phelps clan children, they don't stand a chance. There are a few, and I mean few that have challenged thier beliefs and convictions but the number that have followed suit are unfortunately much higher.

  • ...And, the number of those who just stand by on the sidelines, doing nothing, is even higher than that, which, to me, is even worse.

  • I agree. There was a study done some years ago about that "pack leader" mentality. Like if someone yells "RAPE" no one will come unless there is one that stands out from the pack to do it first then they will follow. The world is full of followers and not nearly enough leaders.  That applies to every aspect of our society including the government.

    I sent you an invite so you can post without approval.

  • Hateful people hate themselves first & a whole lot more than they'll ever hate you. The way we treat others is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. W/ that in mind, watch how these self-righteous, so-called 'Christians' treat others. Do they treat others as Christ, Himself, taught? Exactly what part of Christ's message stated that it was 'cool' to hate those who remind you of who you really are behind closed doors, when you think no one's watching...?

  • LOVES IT!!!!!!!! 5 STARS! I favorited this btw, and the song fits. But most importantly of all, it speaks a great message, sometimes I wonder if bigots can live with themselves for how they treat people. Difference and diversity have been a prime part of life since the beginning of time, and yet people STILL cry like little babies over the fact that people of difference exist. Makes me want to smack them, grrr! LOL

  • Thanks!

    LOL I was commenting on your video as you were mine. You are a "Grrr'er" too, my boyfriend gets a kick out of that I always say that.

  • LOL! Grrring is FUN! It lets people know that you are force to be reckoned with, lol, btw I replied to your comment on my vid. Thanx!

  • Great video. Thanks for this.

  • Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

  • Im glad you enoyed the video. For some reason this song spoke to me and this was the message I heard. I hadn't seen it used to send this kind of message.

    Thanks again!

  • Thanks!

  • Amazing HeathersArk. I have watched a lot of times and now I decided to make a comment. Amazing music, amazing pics, amazing message. I love what you write in the more info. Yes, people before us have fought for the world we have now... And now it's our turn to fight for lgbt rights all over the world! And the right to difference, and of course, the right to love. Today we have internet, so it's easier to fight! I am with you honey! Keep up the good work!

  • Love the vid! And totally amused that some people are trying to flag it as "hetero-phobic." lmao

  • Thanks! Yes I know Im finding more and more each day that there are some real wackos on youtube in one way or another but "heterophobe" was a new one for me, LOL.

    Take care & thanks for watching!

  • Thanks,

    I like the quote, if you look at my profile you can see I really LOVE quotes.

    Here's a few not on my page

    "An eye for a eye will blind the world" ~ Ghandi

    "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and consciencious stupidity." ~ Martian Luther King Jr

    "The ultimate tragedy is not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people." Martin Luther King Jr.

  • Great video!! What a beautiful message! thanks a lot for making this.. :)

  • Thanks for watching!

  • Thanks!

  • To all you Bible thumpers out there..have any of you actually read the Bible? There are over 25 English versions of the Bible alone. The Bible as you know it today was written by man & church not the disciples, etc. There is a clear difference in language used in reference to homosexuality pre vs. post cross. Of which has been clearly misinterpreted during the the process of coming up with today's Bibles.

  • Old Testament (Lev) used the terminology homosexual with regards to preventing the continuation of fertility rituals for crop production practiced by Egyptians & Canaanites. The passage doesnt refer to the act of homosexuality in itself but the practice of homosexual-prostitution. In the New Testament (1Cor) the verbage used by Paul was effeminate, if he were referring to homosexuality he would have used the common Greek term at the time "paiderasste", which meant sex bt 2 males. (continued)

  • Instead Paul used "arsenokoitai" which was the first appearence of the word in the Bible & was translated 2 mean masturbation,not homosexuality.Then theres the "sodomy" issue. The word sodomite was derived from the city of Sodom where it was known 4 its resident males raping visiting males.This has nothing 2 do with the use of the word w/ respects 2 consentual sex bt 2 males but rape.So u see man & church r the 1's that have written 2day's Bibles & impressed upon their own moral values not Gods.

  • We need to stop people, whether its the church, state or federal government from impressing its values upon us. Its up to each of us to research information before we make informed decisions. If we do not we are nothing more than puppets to the masters.

  • Thanks for watching, Im glad you liked it. I liked your comments on Ellens video )the one this is in response to).

  • This is truly beautiful. Thank you for making me think again. All my love to you Baby Doll.

  • Thanks baby! I miss you sooooooo much! I just ordered your b-day present yesterday....:p

  • Awesome video!!!

  • Beautiful!

  • wow such a beautiful video im sharing this with my friends :D Thanks for posting!!

  • Thanks!

  • Wow, brillant.

  • Thanks!

  • powerful message. thanks so much for posting this...

  • Thanks for watching

  • I'm glad that this video was sent to me. It's really good. We're all people, sexual identity shouldn't be a reason to hate someone. Actually there isn't a reason to hate anyone, we should love everyone regardless of color, sex, age and sexual identity.

  • ty, for sending me this. I appreciate the thought. Hate doesn't help anyone. all it does is hurt. But we the receivers of Anti-Gay comments cannot retaliate with terse or judgemental remarks...that makes us spreading even more hate...when they call you a fag, thank them, and walk away. Don't be another reason Hate continues...Love is Love and Hate is Hate no matter which side it comes from.

  • What a powerful video. Thank you for making it.

  • Thank You for sharing this love really does make a family and hate destroys families. We must end the hate and spread the love.

  • Thanks for watching & believing in the message. It's up to each of us to stop hate no matter what community it impacts.

  • that is such pawerfull imagery

  • Thanks for watching, this is only the 3rd video Ive ever made so Im glad you enjoyed it.

  • Thanks for posting this :D

  • Hun the American Dream is just that, you have to be asleep to enjoy it, lol. Have you ever heard or read anything by Margaret Meade?

  • Love is Love,we are all Brothers and Sisters

    created in Gods image,why is it so hard to accept those who are differant? This video delivers a powerful message of Love and hate,you did a wonderful job putting together those images with that Beautiful song.Thank You and God bless!!

  • Thank you.

  • I thought I commented this video I am not seeing my other comment Heather:(

  • I dont know whats going on....if you click on the view all comments blue link at the bottom shows everyones comments. I dont know why they arent showing, makes me mad because so far people have really had nice things to say I havent had to reject any

  • Thank you. Never b afraid 2b urself. Easier said than done, particularly since u r still in school (the right of passage years). We are in a time where it is still far 2 difficult 4 many people 2 "come out" while still in their school years whether the pressure is family or peers. In a perfect world you could be yourself everywhere. I bid you good luck and my advice to you is that when YOU accept YOU & come to terms with your sexuality, others will do the same. Thanks for watching & commenting.

  • Thanks, this is one of my favorite songs.

  • Thank you. All love is beautiful.

  • if you want something then just grab it. like a wife. but if your feelings dont want it, than let it be. its the same thing with me. i consider myself bisexual, and im constantly bullied at school. and even on the streets, just walking to the store, or shopping with friends. even sexualy harassed once at school. i love this video... and its hard for me too.. i prefer men, and it seems at times that i have no attraction over wemon, but im afraid of becomeing homosexual... alot of people dont know

  • love is love is love. Why do people have to suffer for actually falling in love. I will never understand why it makes a difference who you love or who loves you, just as long as there is mutual tenderness and respect. You did a good job on this vid. Thanks for sharing it.

  • Thank you. We need more people like you in the world.

  • Sad. I'm not going to hate anymore

  • Thank you for watching. Im really glad it touched you so.

  • Good Job Heather on this beautiful video it really touched me....And maybe this video will actually teach people not to hate others for who they love Keep up the work on the future videos and the name of the video goes very well with this =]

  • Thanks hun. Im glad I could share it with everyone.
