Causes

Last night I had a dream that a plane crashed on the lawn in front of my building.

Today, I walked to get some lunch, and heard some noise about evangelicals preaching about reforming homosexuals, and other anti-gay nonsense. The school I go to is VERY VERY open and accepting of all types of people, so I had to wonder what exactly they were thinking coming here.

On my way back to my room, I saw a huge group of people pushing the two evangelicals off of school property. Thank god, I thought.

But they stopped short, right at the edge of the lawn on the front of my building. I could hear a megaphone, and it started to look like a protest.

I walked over, and sure enough, a group was gathering to protest these fuckers coming to our campus and preaching their hatred.

I feel very strongly on matters like this, so I skipped class and took part in the protest, until the person who was leading it decided we were giving them too much attention, and should leave, so they would have nobody to rile up. Still, I stayed on the opposite side of the lawn, watching to make sure they left.

Apparently they had a permit to be here until 5. I just got out of class (6ish), and they're gone.

Things like this give me hope that people actually care about the things that matter. There had to have been at least 200 people protesting, as opposed to two evangelicals with huge signs. As sick as their views made me, I was so happy that my community reacted so quickly and with such strength.

Who cares if you're gay or straight? I love you anyway.

I love you all.
