- Jesse Newell jumps rope in the ring of the Knuckleheadz Boxing Gym in Ventura, Calif., on Tuesday, July 22, 2013. Newell has been fighting for as long as he can remember, starting his career as a wrestler on a team in high school. He hit a rough patch and stopped, but was given a second chance when he was offered the opportunity to be a professional mixed martial artist. "This is gonna be the story I tell my children," Newell said. (© Niji Razon 2013)

- Despite what protesters might say about the relationship between homosexual people and the Christian faith, this particular Jesus showed otherwise. Erik Des, portraying Jesus, signals his presence aboard a fire truck as they pass anti-gay protesters in the gay parade of the LA Pride event in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday, June 9, 2013. He would then throw a more crude gesture involving his middle fingers seconds later. (© Niji Razon 2013)
