#3 Kellan Lutz, Actor

Kellan Lutz understands the power of a six-pack. His abs epiphany came during an eighth-grade graduation party at a water park. "Before then, I never knew abs were attractive," says the 26-year-old, who plays vampire Emmet Cullen in the Twilight films. "Where I grew up in Arizona, you would never see anyone without a shirt on at school. But when I took off my shirt, all the girls were, like, 'Oh, look at your abs!' And I was, like, 'Yeah!'" Psychologists call this "positive reinforcement." And Lutz instinctively knew what to do: Stay active.
 
To make sure his abs keep popping, Lutz uses a total-body circuit workout that includes a mix of core, upper-body, and lower-body exercises, all performed at a fast pace to burn calories and torch belly fat.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! NBC, Really? Update June 1, 2011: Trump now claims that Obama's long form, original birth certificate is fake. And NBC keeps this hater? NBC, You Kidding Us?

Why I'm Not Marrying Any Gay Couples on July 25
Serene Jones - Huffington Post - Jul 21, 2011

Across New York City, and the entire Empire State, truckloads of wedding invitations are being dispatched for July 25. On that auspicious day, happy gay and lesbian couples are inviting their friends and family to join them on beaches, boats, churches and courthouse steps to watch them tie a knot that, in many cases, should have been tied years ago.

As someone who worked hard toward making this historic moment happen, I'm giddy with excitement. But as a reverend who is now newly sanctioned to conduct legal, state-authorized weddings, I am feeling a little uninvited to the party, as not one same-sex couple has approached me to officiate at their ceremony.

At the risk of sounding immodest, I'm an obvious choice as a bona fide minister and the president of Union, a seminary, where open LGBTQ students and faculty have been studying and teaching for decades. Given this, it's interesting to ask: Why is my schedule for July 25 not booked solid with vow-sharing celebrations? In some small way, I think, it indicates that the tide of intolerance toward gay and lesbians is not only turning, but has been for quite awhile. After all, it's been nearly 20 years since I presided over my first same-sex marriage.

This was back in the early 1990s, when I was a professor at Yale Divinity School. At this time, no state in America was issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and few churches were even talking about it. I don't recall being particularly shocked, or even surprised, however, when two women who were Divinity School students approached me one afternoon, and asked me if I would marry them.

There was no question that I was willing. Immediately, it struck me as an idea whose time had come. I teach the history of Christianity, so I'm all too aware how the church has, at various points in its checkered past, refused to allow interracial marriages, interfaith marriages and even international marriages. Just as these unfair interdictions faded away over time, I believed prohibitions over same sex couples being wed would, too.

But here's what most interesting. I didn't say "yes" to the lesbian couple's request right away. Instead, I paused. Why? Because I wouldn't have given my assent immediately to a heterosexual couple, either.

Marriage is a serious business, and shouldn't be entered into lightly, whether you are gay or straight. With this in mind, I insisted we have a series of conversations together about what their proposed union meant to them, during which I could discern if I found them compatible enough for me to publicly sanction their commitment ceremony. Like any responsible pastor, I had to make sure I wasn't enabling a destructive union to take place, one potentially marked by violence, for example. In this case, after six weeks of marriage counseling, all was well. I agreed to marry the women.

This is a crucial point, and worth pondering for a moment longer. I am proud to be ordained by the United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ, as both of these denominations have been at the forefront of supporting LGBT issues, be it the ordination of gay clergy or the right for homosexual couples to marry. Support, however, does not translate in our faith communities into special treatment. Marriage equality is just that: equality. Despite some of the inflammatory and fear-mongering rhetoric that swirls around this contentious issue, gays and lesbians can't expect, and shouldn't get, an express pass to the marriage altar.

Here's a funny story. Later that distant summer, an older woman friend, she was probably 75, asked me if it was true I had married two men. said, "Oh no, that's not true at all!" She looked immensely relieved -- at least she did until I added, "I married two women." Well, she hesitated for a moment, staring at me. Then the woman smiled and jerked up her palm to give me a high five. On the spot, she changed her mind. She was open to the new normal.

Alas, not everything worked out quite this happily ever after. I'm sorry to report that this first same-sex marriage I oversaw did not last. The couple ended up separating and eventually dissolved their bond.

Two decades on, I look forward to an even "newer" normal, when I'll watch reports and hear tell of the many hopefuls (Reuters has estimated 66,000 gay couples will marry in New York state in the next three years) who will begin lining up on July 25. Again, though, let's remember that homosexuals are no different -- not worse, not better -- than straight couples, in that their legal unions are just as apt to succumb to pressures and problems and just as likely to result in divorce. Sadly, that's just how it is.

My hope, however, is that churches will continue to be places where guidance is offered and support given to couples as they struggle through difficulties. Our task as clergy is not to marry everyone who asks. Our calling is to provide honest and caring direction to couples who seek to embark on that awesome task of binding their hearts and minds together.

The end of any marriage -- including, I might add, the unraveling of my own -- does not lessen my commitment to the idea of holy matrimony.

 On the contrary. If the church is to have any relevance in our lives, it must be a place that every single day celebrates and nurtures love of all kinds, yet consoles and forgives everyone whose love falters or fails.

That's marriage equality.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
