That is a man with backbone.
I have heard this guy on TV and I think his message of hope is very important. The thought of these kids out there being beaten and/or committing suicide because of intolerance toward what they are is heartbreaking. I'm glad someone's giving them a lifeline.
One of the Siblings suggested a Chatty Award or Taddy Award or something similar a while back. I wonder if we should develop an actual award of some sort to give to people who speak about tolerance. Or at least make them an honorary Toadfish.
I was reading about Steven Colbert this morning in the paper, about a recent quote from him (page B2 Sat Oct 16) "And, you know, whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers, and these seem like the least of our brothers right now... Migrant workers suffer and have no rights."
:'( I went to a candle light vigil for a local trans girl who killed herself that same week, and listened to one of my friends read a similar story to this.
I miss Chris Colfer - he was a friend in high school. :( Glad he can help others now.
