Freedom of Speech

Today was a classic showing of freedom of speech. My fiance came running into my room about noon out of breath and pulled me out of my seat to follow him. He and his roommate were really excited and told me that there was a protest going on in the quad and that there was a counter protest going on as well. I have to say I was really impressed that so many students came out to show their support and showed that they cared.

It started when a guy and a girl stood in the quad and help up signs that basically said that anyone who was a homosexual needs to stop being a homosexual and embrace god. Students and faculty members came out and brought out their own signs that shined "God made me gay or bisexual" or "God loves everyone". I was also impressed that both sides were peaceful and that things did not get out of hand. In a way, I believe that this man and women helped bring students and faculty together and show that they believe in themselves and that they believe in who they are as a person, and I just proud of everyone.

I myself believe that God loves everyone and no one is better or worse than anyone. Good job to everyone today who showed their support and stood up for what they believed in.

Peace, Love
