A Christian Rapper Recorded An Anti-Gay Version Of Macklemore's "Same Love"
His name is Bizzle and he’s upset that gay people think of themselves “the new black.”
This is the "Same Love" response track recorded by Houston rapper Bizzle. It takes the backing beat from Macklemore's "Same Love" but it has a a very different message.
You rather fight God than fight sin
The Bible is alright until it calls what you like sin
And I feel so disrespected that you were so desperate
You would compare your sexual habits to my skin
Calling it 'the new black?' Tell me, where they do that?
They hung us like tree ornaments, where were you at?
They burned us for entertainment, you go through that?"
Moms raped in front of their kids while they shoot dad
Ever been murdered just for trying to learn how to read, bro?
Show of hands? I didn't think so
So quit comparing the two it ain't the same fight
You can play straight. We can never play white.
Using black people as pawns for your agenda
These sell-out rappers that do whatever you tell em.
According to the Houston Chronicle, this isn't the first time Bizzle has remixed a more faith-oriented version of a popular song.
You were never oppressed. The devil was a liar
The only thing oppressed was your sexual desire
Keeping your desires oppressed is so lame to you
But when you get married that's what you expect your mate to do
It angers you if I compare you to a pedophile
Because he's sick, right, and you're better, how?

23 Photos Of Same-Sex Couples That Will Warm Your Heart
Australian Marriage Equality has compiled a gorgeous collection of images celebrating the love of same-sex couples. You can even add your own!
Just Like You is a campaign started by Australian Marriage Equality.

The aim of the campaign is to highlight "how relatable gay and lesbian relationships are through pictures depicting day to day moments of these relationships."
Jo and Alex say, "Our kids are now six and eight – they do soccer, ballet, love swimming and playing (too many) computer games like everyone else’s kids! They call us ‘Mummy’ and ‘Mumma’ and to them and their friends we are just like any other family.”

As part of the campaign, Australian Marriage Equality have released a 2014 calendar featuring beautiful images of same-sex couples and their families.
Suz says, "Bern and I met through friends about eight years ago, and have been together for five years, married for two years. We decided to get married when we visited family in Vancouver in Canada. We had Ruby in December 2011. It was the most amazing day ever - Ruby is the greatest thing that has ever happened to us. Ruby is almost walking and loves Dorothy the Dinosaur."

They also asked people in LGBT relationships to upload their own photos to the Australian Marriage Equality website, leading to a collection of truly beautiful images and stories.
James and Mike on their first anniversary: "We’ve never been too comfortable with public displays, but as the camera clicked, we noticed we had drawn the attention of a wedding in the garden, the guests smiling gently at us, and our hearts hung heavy with the wish to one day be united like the happy couple that day. Hopefully, a kiss like this will one day unite us as husbands."

There Is An Etsy Artist Who Cross Stitches Pop Lyrics And They Are So Perfect
Need all of these.
Etsy artist Crafty Curtis painstakingly cross stitches pop lyrics. And they're amazing.
Crafty Curtis / Via etsy.com
Each piece takes "about 12 hours", she told BuzzFeed.
"It’s hard to say because I do it in my spare time, I suppose up to 12 hours depending on the length of the lyric and all from designing the pattern to fully framing them up. I have a lead-time on most orders so I can deliver to requirements."
Crafty Curtis / Via etsy.com
She's a long-time crafter.
"I’ve been knitting since I was about 8, and then with a vengeance for the last 10ish years. I crochet as well. I started to cross stitch a few years ago – I’m sure I did it as a kid on massive aida (fabric with holes in) but it wasn’t something i’d carried on into adulthood. I’ve mainly knitted things for my nieces and nephew and friends kids before this, it is really my first major project that isn’t just about one off gifts for friends."
Crafty Curtis / Via etsy.com
Initially, the cross stitching was just a hobby.
"I came up with the idea of stitching my favourite dark lyrics, the juxtaposition of it pleased me, and it was only for personal amusement at this point that is what I did. I like the ones that sit apart from the songs, but those who know, know."

The Worst Police Sketch In History Caught A Suspect After All
We take it all back: maybe it wasn’t that bad .
Last week, in common with other news outlets, we may have suggested that this might be the worst sketch of a police suspect in living memory.
Lamar County Sheriff’s Department
While the sketch of a robbery suspect – a composite from two witnesses – looked more like a Sesame Street character with a degenerative illness than a real human, the wanted man has now been arrested.
Glenn Rundles, 32, was arrested last Tuesday for the aggravated robbery of two women on January 16 in Texas. The local sheriff said the sketch directly helped to apprehend him, not least due to the heightened interested in the case. Rundles has also been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure, burglary, criminal mischief.
He's being held at Lamar County Jail, with bonds of $135,000, and investigations are on-going.
Whether this interest was generated specifically because the drawing was so bad the lawmen didn't say.
So, apologies to the artist behind this crime-busting artwork. We take it all back.

A Man Has Been Arrested After Mistaking A Policewoman For A Stripper
Incident described in court as “an unfortunate affair”.
Possibly not a real policewoman.
Via shutterstock.com
Harbord had spent all day drinking in the Black Bull in County Durham when a female police officer walked in. One of his friends had told him to expect "entertainment", and he wrongly assumed she was a stripper. So he danced in front of her and waved a beer towel in her face, whereupon she promptly arrested him.
He still refused to believe she was a police officer until they got to the station.
He admitted to obstructing a police officer and was given a six-month conditional discharge. He was ordered to pay £85 and a £15 victim surcharge.
