Kindness of strangers

I was walking with my homemade sign to the protest after the passage of Prop H8 and a middle-aged man stopped and asked me what I was doing. I told him about the legislation that had passed and in a thick accent, he said, "What, that shit passed? So I got called a gay for nothing?"

I wanted to hug him! Thanks for taking crap from your communities for standing up against bigotry. We know you don't have to. It might not directly affect you. But you fight anyway. This is why we will eventually win. Because there is compassion in the world.
