An anecdote to lighten your day.

I was working out in the gym this morning. Two male Norwich cadets came in as well, the first African American, the second Caucasian. I over heard some muttering about needing to do circuit training that they weren’t happy about.

The second cadet: “This is gay.”

The first: “Man, you shouldn’t say that. That’s not OK.” Some more followed that I couldn’t hear beyond the word “friend.” The second cadet gave some very low key acknowledgement and moved on.

Another step in the journey of a thousand, but a good one.
