Pride Music: Celebrating Trans Romance ‘Love In Transition’

Legacy Recordings and digital studio Cut.com have partnered to release Love In Transition, an inspirational video celebrating the beauty of transgender love set to Elvis Presley’s timeless romantic classic “Can’t Help Falling In Love.” Love In Transition, released in celebration of Pride Month, shares the stories of six couples who describe falling in love while a trans partner discovers and embraces their true self. Through each couple’s honesty, warmth, and humor, the video showcases how each couples’ love transforms, deepening as they learn more about each other’s truth and resilience. For its appropriately moving soundtrack, Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” was selected to underscore the simple beauty and endurance of love. First released in 1961 and featured in Elvis’ blockbuster film Blue Hawaii, “Can’t Help Falling In Love” spent four weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. charts and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning a Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Platinum award in 1992 for certified sales of more than 1 million units.

Study: Gay & Bisexual Couples Owned By Dogs Have Stronger Relationships

Yes, you could say we are ‘dog people’
A new study by pet-sitting company Rover.com found gay and bisexual couples say their relationships are stronger as a result of adopting dogs.

• 56% said having a dog meant that they spent more time together

• Those gay/bi couples also see dog ownership as a greater commitment to their other half than setting up a joint bank account

• 21% of gay and bi couples were more likely to have a “pet-nup” in place versus just 12% of straight couples

Over a third of all respondents – gay or straight – said they would not date anyone who was not a self-confessed “dog person.” True dat. There were also a few downsides noted to having a dog:

• 17% of couples said they had less sex because their dog now shares the bed with them

• A third said they leave the house separately so there’s always someone home to take care of their pup

Viral Video: How I Became The Bomb

Powerful. Over 9.8 million views.

From the opening of the clip:

Artist Marina Abramovic and boyfriend Ulay started an intense love affair in the 1970s, performing out of a van they called home.

When they ended their relationship they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last embrace in the middle.

That was the last time they saw each other…

In 2010, as part of her MoMA retrospective, ‘The Artist Is Present,’ Marina shared a moment of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her.

On opening night, Ulay arrived without Marina knowing…

Look for the 1:30 mark, where you’ll be able to see the moment her old boyfriend shows up at her display. It was the first time they saw each other after more than 30 years, and there are no words for their reactions.
