So my partner and I were going to go to Chik-fil-a and kiss, but I was tired from work [View all]

So what we decided to do, is tomorrow we are going to go buy $12 worth of canned goods (what it would cost us to buy meals at said restaurant) and donate it to a local homeless shelter in the name of LGBT rights. Especially knowing how many lgbt youths are homeless because of discrimination. After everything we have been through with me losing my job for suspect reasons and almost being homeless ourselves, we had some good fortune come upon us through my aunt and uncle who lent us money to survive. Therefore, we decided to pay it forward, even though we don't have a lot to spare. There is enough hate in the world, but not nearly enough love. And to know people love and care about you is the best gift you can have. And don't get me wrong, I don't blame any same-sex couple that went to said restaurant to voice their first-amendment rights. But any way that we can give back, we will. Cheers and equal rights to everyone!
