New Year, New Oppurtunity



It is a New Day, New Year and a New Opportunity for further progress towards Equality for All.  In 2014 we added 18 states where the Freedom to Marry is the law of the land bringing the total to 35.  Next Friday, January 9, SCOTUS will decide whether to take up the Marriage Equality case or cases from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in this session.  If you remember, SCOTUS refused to take the last cases before it as the lower courts were all in agreement.  The 6th Circuit is the only appellate court to uphold Marriage Discrimination putting it at odds with the other courts.  SCOTUS gave that as the reason not to take up the last cases, but now must resolve the disparity.  Hopefully SCOTUS will take up the 6th Circuit case or cases and finally make one ruling that is effective in all the states so Marriage Equality will be the law of the land everywhere in the US.  Then it really would be a 'Happy New Year' for all of us.  

To start the year off right, today's Musical Moment is more than a moment.  In fact it is a six hour play list of classical and choral works put together by the Classical Music Club that will serve as a Soundtrack for your Celebrations or soothing relief for that gigantic hangover from last night.  The performances are by various artists and the complete interactive play list can be found by clicking here.  For another special listening experience, the complete New Years Eve concert by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Daniel Barenboim is posted over on my tumblr.  

We begin the year in Art de l'Homme with a scrumptious selection of Denim Delights in this first edition of Men in Jeans for 2015.  You will find them lounging about the page below the play list.  For a little added Italian flavor to your Denim Deliciousness, check out Rafael Alboccino, your Hottie of the Day! over on my tumblr.  Have a Fabulous Holiday & a Happy and Prosperous New Year in 2015.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
