STAND4LOVE 2013 SUPPORTERS WALL as of June 8 2013, 11amSLT. And it keeps growing! See anyone you know?
Since we launched the STAND4LOVE 2013 campaign about two weeks ago, about 400 people in Second Life from all over the world have made a choice to spread LOVE, not HATE. We all believe that Love and Marriage should be available to two adult loving couples regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation. We are very grateful and honored for everyone’s support. Our hope is that it will spread awareness that one is not alone and anything is possible. LOVE should be celebrated, not a basis for hate and discrimination. Will you join us?
❤ It is Time. Open you HEARTS. Open your MINDS. ❤
Let me ask you something…
What if the government can tell you that you can’t marry the one you love and people treat you like a second class citizen because of who you are? Religion will tell you that the fiber of your being is a sin and society can discriminate and ostracized you at your jobs and community.
TWO CONSENTING ADULTS should have the right to marry and spend their life together regardless of gender, race or sexual orientation.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE and WHAT IS RIGHT…. JOIN US.
http://stand4love.wordpress.com/
STAND 4 LOVE is an awareness charity project to promote the visibility and rights of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Straight loving couples to have the right to marry and be recognized by the law across the world. It will be a picture campaign in Second Life to spread awareness and promote equality and tolerance. Each participant will take a picture of themselves in a plain white or black background then add the Stand4Love Logo. They will then put their message of support as well as their SL name and/or Title/Business (Optional) in the picture. All pictures received will be published here in this blog. It will also be promoted in Stand4Love Facebook page and Flickr group.
Our goal is to spread awareness that two consenting adults should have the right to love and marry regardless of their race. gender or sexual orientation. If we can open someone’s mind and promote tolerance and equality, then our goal has been achieved.
Edi & I had the honor of having an interview and feature for our recent Stand4Love Campaign in the latest MANIERA Magazine titled – The Hope Issue.

Thank you so much to Maniera Staff, Nat and everyone who supported the campaign! ❤

For the past year my son didn’t talk to me. I didn’t do anything… there wasn’t some major event. We were exceptionally close up to that point but nevertheless it happened. I was devastated. I felt as if he had died. I tried everything I could think of. I finally did some research online and discovered it was sort of an epidemic happening across the nation but no one talked about it because they were too ashamed. Every case is different….often they involve kids of divorce.
My son had started talking to his father. The one that took off when he was 2 and never looked back. Well, as they communicated, father decided talking to mom wasn’t a good idea and if son wanted to come live with him he would have to cut off communications. You can see where this was leading right? So my naive, desperate for a dad, son dropped everything, left everything behind and went to live with his father. He lasted less than 2 months.
Sadly he found out that everything I had ever said was true including that his father was a racist and a homophobe. When he heard my son was bisexual he didn’t even let him sleep there that night, he dumped him off at a motel in a big city, bought him a plane ticket, and sent him back to AZ. He didn’t let him pack…and is making him pay to ship his stuff home.
It saddens me that my son had to be hurt so badly because people still can’t free their minds and open their hearts. He was taught to never judge anyone. I think Stand 4 Love is a brilliant idea and if you would like more information please please check out their website here!
Many super talented and amazing photographers in Second Life are helping promote a simple message: LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS: NOT race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. We are so honored of their support and can’t thank them enough for their generosity in offering their time and talents.
