So I saw today on AOL that there is a pop star from England, whose name I don't recall, that is taking a shot at the Jonas Brothers and their purity pledge. She has said that if they are virgins then she is a man. I don't know, maybe she's like RuPaul and is a man.
Anyway this is something that stood out to me today. The reason is because this is the second time in only about 2 months (give or take) that someone (from England in fact) has taken a shot at the brothers for taking a stand about remaining pure until marriage. I guess I don't see where it should be such a big deal.
Actually I think I do know why it's such a big deal to these people. What these brothers are doing is a bit counter-cultural really. In the eyes of the people who are taking shots at them, this is not the norm. If you are famous and attractive then by all means you must be sleeping around. It has become just another accepted part of our pop culture it seems. And now when some people gain a platform and take a stand against that, it becomes time to try and tear it down.
I for one applaud the Jonas Brothers for actually taking the stand and saying they are virgins and intend to remain that way until they are married. It takes some guts on their part to do that...because just because you have the platform to speak from doesn't always mean you actually do. Peace and Love y'all.
