Many years ago my husband and I were on the Newlywed Game and we won a pool table, ping-pong table, computer and various other items. We decided to give the items to charity. We had a Super-Bowl Party with colleagues and friends and used the items. We invited a charity to pick up the items about 6:00 PM (PST). Out of respect for one of my colleagues who was gay and was fostering a child we donated the items to GLAAD. When they arrived to pick up the items many of my friends helped them to load them up. They had brought a tax receipt and some information about their organization and one of the guests at the party picked it up and started to read the information out loud. Initially, the intent was to embarass me for selecting that organization. It seems this person had not been brought into the confidence of our boss regarding his sexual orientation. He started asking her questions as did others. The ultimate insult to her was when EVERYONE at that party emptied their pockets of their cash and added checks to their donations and the charity walked out the door with an additional $833. She had scripture hanging all over her cubicle at work. She perceived herself as a higher being because of her beliefs. Her ignorance inspired others to get involved and to be charitable. Let's hope Bruce's commentary does the same for those who have visited here...
