I am a sneaky
little bastard when I want to be.
Okay, so all
the work being done in the Supreme Court was starting to get to me. I decided at work that I really wanted to
show my support, but I realized that I didn’t know if my owners would
really want me to post up a sign with an equal sign on it. Although, knowing my
owners, they probably wouldn’t know what it would mean.
Plus, my shop
is in a weirdly Christian area. There are three mega-churches in the area, all
of which are those super orthodox, Bible as literal word kind of places. Normally I wouldn’t care, but they are my clientele
base and I have to be respectful of their ideals since they buy our stuff.
So, in a
sneaky little subversive moment, I made a cake with a super huge rainbow on it.
Because nothing says ice cream like rainbows. Lots and lots of rainbows.
I know it doesn’t seem like a lot, but that’s
the point. Little actions that demonstrate support and tolerance are what
really make the day worth it. I’m proud of the small ways I show my support and
in the small ways I can make my shop more welcoming.
And everybody
loves rainbows.
Challenge to
my Readers:
Wear a pin or
a sticker, do something small to show the world what you care about. Do it
because the world should know what you think is important. Do it because you
care.
