so there has been a stir recently regarding senior proms. First Constance wants to bring her girlfriend and the school district cancels the prom instead of allowing her to. Then Derrick Martin asks to bring his male date and the school says yes - and supports him. Rejoice. Until you find out that his parents have kicked him out of their home because (if you read between the lines of their statement) he's gay. This poor kid. Constance might have had a tougher fight to get to prom, but she has a supportive family that is standing behind her. Derrick has lost that now...it just makes me want to cry. This poor kid is only standing up for his rights and has made a giant sacrifice because of it.
Read more about it here, still trying to figure out if there are legit ways to help him out at this point...

I wish...
that those that quote the Bible and use it as a tool to deny others rights and access would remember that there's only one way to heaven, but half a million ways to fall. Maybe then they would realize that they're just like the rest of us and not have to hide in the closet and react to scandal when it surrounds them!

Just thoughts...
New York City is a place where every guy has their eyes on the door, to see who walks in next and what other prospects are out there. It's like we're all waiting for something or someone better to walk into our lives, but would we even know if they did in the midst of this constant game? It would be nice to stop for a while and live in the now with someone who's not playing the game.
