Oh, My Goodness!!
I know that I am supposed to be doing my homework, but I just have to write this down because it totally made my day...possibly my whole week!
Well, I was walking with my friend to the bus station so that we could get to the parking lot where my car is. We had to walk through the art building, well the performance area anyway, but before you go in, there is a dumpster (this is in the back) that is surrounded by a large cement wall. Leaning on one side of the wall was a man, a bit older in age, but not that old.
Anyway, as we were walking past, one of the maintenance guys stopped his little truck and got out, walking toward the other man. When he got to the first man, I saw him give the first a single red rose.
It totally made me smile...even if it seemed to creep my friend out a little (but who cares what he thinks any way?).
I am just sad that I missed the protest on campus the other day. It was to protest the act that was just passed in my state that keeps any unmarried couple from adopting or foster parenting orphaned children (though it was mostly to keep gays from it). I voted against it, but when I saw that it passed, I cried.
It is just not fair to have children left without a loving home, simply because people have such a bias against the gay community. I mean if a couple is qualified to adopt or foster, than they should be able to regardless of orientation, at least for the child's sake. But you can be sure that I will be at the next one!!
