Pioneering Couple . . . Way Ahead Of Their Time!!

"Check out the stunning photograph of a same-sex marriage, circa 1970, which took place in Chicago!"
"The image, which was sent to HuffPost Gay Voices by the Pop-Up Museum of Queer History, was originally published in the Oct. 15, 1970 issue of Jet magazine."
"The Illinois couple, identified as Edna Knowles (left) and Peaches Stevens, were reportedly wed at Liz's Mark III Lounge, a Chicago gay bar, "before a host of friends and well wishers," according to the museum's Tumblr account."
“Although the duo has a type of ‘marriage license’ in their possession, the state’s official marriage license bureau reported it had no record of their license,” the article also noted."
"One can't help but wonder what the pioneering couple would say about the Supreme Court hearings on Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), as well as the current debate over same-sex marriage which is taking place in their home state of Illinois."
Side Bar ~ It would be so cool to find out if their still married and hear their story!
They looked so happy on their special day!

"This may look like an orgy, but it's actually a sport".
"In a match of oil-wrestling, Turkey's national sport, there's no penalty for holding."
"In fact, the entire game revolves around participants fighting to get their hands down each other's pants. But, first the well-sculpted men must douce themselves with olive-oil to make their skin glisten while they play, or possibly just to protect against the heat."
"Each fighter wears a pair of lovely black-hand-stitched lederhosen-looking pants called a kispet. Once the game begins, fighters attempt to pin one another down, with the goal of getting a good hold on the kispet. Don't worry though, the rules say you cannot grab an opponent's balls or invade his rectum. Whew!"
"The first fighter to have their "umbilicus exposed to heaven" loses the match, according to the Turkish Wrestling rules".
"You must keep that umbilicus under wraps".
"Close to 1,000 athletes compete during the three-day elimination tournament."

Honey B Dun' Struck A Nerve!!!

Rush Limbaugh has the crazy idea that Beyoncé's new song is a patriarchal anthem, telling women to "bow down" to men. Others have the crazier idea that it's about empowerment and confronting her childhood bullies in "H-town" Houston. I don't buy any of these interpretations. But, I do agree that "Bow Down" is a densely poetic song, with lyrics that need to be unpacked carefully. Below are five much more plausible interpretations of what the song is really about. You're welcome, Beyoncé.
It's a song about drowning at sea. The term "bow" refers to the front part of a boat, not the act of bowing. The song is about a boat that is sinking. The lyric "I took some time to live my life" is a passenger reflecting on her life before she dies a watery death. The "H-town" she sings about is Honolulu. The boat is in the Pacific, and the last hope of safety was making it to Hawaii. "H-town" represents the impossible dream of survival. "I'm coming down/ Get it on the ground" is an acceptance of the inevitable end mixed with a gasp of hope to make it to dry land. Hello Sasha Serious.
It's a song about a hair accessory -- and its quest for independence. The term bow refers a ribbon you tie in your hair. Beyoncé is just doing a sassy pronunciation of it. The lyrics clearly state "bow down", as in the bow fell down. Now her hair "H-town" is "coming down" because the bow is no longer holding her ponytail up. Beyoncé tries to "get it on the ground" and pick up the bow, but -- and here's where it gets a little James-Franco-cerebral -- we switch to the bow's perspective. The bow doesn't want to be tied (literally and metaphorically) to the hair anymore. It's trying to forge its own identity. Hence the lyric "Don't think I'm just his little wife." The hair is referred to as masculine, because the bow represents a woman's quest for independence. (See "Independent Women" by Destiny's child for further exploration of this theme.)
It's a song about the new pope. The term bow does refer to the act of bowing, but the context is worship and prayer. "Bow down b*tches" is about how Beyoncé wants to be revered in a religious way. Then, when she starts singing "bishes", this isn't slang for b*tches" as some suggest, it's common bible slang for "bishops." And "H-town" refers to the heavenly town on earth ie. Vatican City. So the refrain "H-town bishes" is a plea to be chosen as the new Pope. (Yes, a new Pope was technically already chosen, but she's Sasha Fierce. She doesn't play by the rules.)
It's a song about body image. The line "I'm coming down dripping candy on the ground" is a reference to losing weight. In the line "I know when you were little girls/ You dreamt of being in my world" Beyoncé acknowledges that she embodies a physical ideal of the femininity. But she also points out that this ideal is unhealthy, saying "Don't get it twisted" as in don't get caught up in the twisted messages our society teaches about what women's bodies should look like. The lyric "This is my sh*t" is an expression of both her struggle to achieve that physical ideal and her guilt about perpetuating it. Deep sh*t, I know.

It's about letting someone know you're coming down. As the repeated phrase "I'm coming down" makes pretty obvious, the song is about how when someone calls you to come downstairs, you're all like "I'm coming down, give me a second, don't be a b*tch about it." Duh.
