Picked on

August 01, 2003

New York city is set to open the first public school for gay kids. The reason given is that gay kids get harassed and the city is unable to protect them. I wonder what is next, a school for fat kids, or perhaps kids that wear glasses? In elementary school I used to be picked on for being small and kind of a nerd, maybe I should have gone to a special nerd school.

In the picture above, if you live in San Francisco you probably have seen this guy. I used to chase him around to get his picture, but yesterday he finally caught up to me. He saw me taking his picture and he was pretty cool about it. He mentioned something about the local newspapers running stories on him, then he asked me for change and when I handed him a dollar he asked me to take his picture.
