****  Thirty-three couples of mixed race, same gender, and conservative heterosexual shared what must have been a spectacular event.  A mass wedding performed by Queen Latifah whom socially in 2012 shared that she was in a same gender relationship officiates the mass wedding.  A magnificent chapel setting is staged as artists; Madonna, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis perform Same Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka9ybs5L-bY 

Society has evolved in which such an event causes minimal ridicule . 
Some have argued that using such a socially acclaimed award ceremony as a political forum was not in good taste, but that opinion in our reality is the minority.  Most had embraced and gave them the courage within themselves too not hide who they are.  As Jamal Simms and Octavius Terry had expressed on an interview with Queen Latifah on her show they felt that this was the perfect time to make a statement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnlMq-HTfdc

We have all come a long way from the " coming out of the closet" and the taboo of its a sin don't do that.  I myself support not only the decisions that these couples made but also the forum in which they did.  We are all about glitz and glammer in the US.

Danger is Their Middle Name page 166-170

A dynasty begins one warm California day when John Epper takes a job jumping a horse over a car.   From that point he was hooked; doing what came natural.  Years later its not uncommon to find an Epper on a Hollywood set.  So natural this family of stunt men and women; for years monopolizing the industry.

The story starts with a young Matt Epper looking down from the edge of the family house.  His mother encouraging him on.."jump jump, Matt! Come on! There's nothing to it! Just kick out your legs out and fly!"(167 joining the conversation " Danger is Their Middle Name")  I just could not imagine being that woman, normally you would discourage such behavior.  But this was the Eppers, the norm was definitely not conventional.

Going on with the article I found it interesting a bit exciting with the thought of such an exciting life.  Generations of a family living in a world of such adventure.  With movies such as romancing the stone and Pearl harbor as part of their resume.  

When we think of the movie industry and Hollywood the stunt men and women are not thought of as that of the actors they protect from harm.  I have a new appreciation for those men and women and now when watching a film I wait too see just who performed the stunts watching to see if it was an Epper.

June and Jane

Please watch the video before reading the following blog.

I read my children a bed time story, tucked them in, and told them i loved them.  Looking at them as the lay there my angels, my blessings.

In some countries due to laws of only allowed one child per family, or the scrutiny of having a daughter such as china.  http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/abandoned-baby-rescued-from-toilet-pipe-in-china/1/273583.html  I am sure feel desperate, scared, and ashamed.  Do they have the options we do?

There have been some active changes that may help this issue.  In the US you can leave your child at a hospital, fire department, police station with no questions asked or repercussions.  Some argue that this is just an open invitation to irresponsible behavior were others feel i will help cut back on innocent lives being cut short or emaciated due to abandonment.


Jane is an inspiration and a very strong woman to take on such a responsibility at such a young age.  I want to think i have that strong character and if I found a baby that i would take him/her in as my own.  Saving her from the fate of most abandoned babies.

I am curious to know your reaction to the story of Jane and June.  How do you feel about the safe haven for babies to be left when not wanted.  It is something to think about.
