In February of this year, a 15 year old boy was shot and killed in class because he was gay. His parent’s are now suing the school, blaming them for allowing him to wear feminine clothing and makeup. First of all, shouldn’t they as his parents be determining his dress? And second, who the f*&^ cares what he wore. Does wearing girls clothes make it okay to kill a young boy?

This story breaks my heart. I was not unlike Larry King. I didn’t wear makeup, but I was (and still am) effeminate. He could have been almost any gay teen, which is what I hope people begin to realize. This sort of hatred and intolerance has no place in our society, regardless of belief systems!

Today I was sitting at a coffee shop on Capitol Hill when I heard REALLY loud bagpipe music. I looked all around to see what was going on, but it died down quickly. I soon realized it was coming from a car. Later, when walking home, I heard the bagpipe music again. I totally expected to see a Scottish looking guy or gal in a mini or something… I felt the music called for it. Instead, I saw a huge SUV with a really big African American man wearing really business-y attire. I kinda cracked me up, because it was not what I expected.

Last night, Anthony and I went to the Georgetown Art Attack with some friends. There was hardly anyone there, sadly. We did, however, find a really cool art studio that looked like a super-fun loft! Plus, one of the artists was giving out free beer and wine. I wanted to turn it into my house. 

Random bumper sticker I saw on a Pirate Vespa outside the cool art studio:

A Latter Day Saint did something I approve of. The Church, however, did not… 

I saw my dad for the first time in 10 years this past weekend. It was nice to see him.
