Today, I got to be a part of a very interesting conference, in Atlanta, Georgia USA, which educates kids and adults about the evils of bullying.
They talked about people who were bullied for being born of a different color of skin or for having the fact that they can NEVER love an opposite, only the same, but I was very shocked and very appalled that they did NOT include people with disabilities.
So, I came up to the microphone and introduced myself, in my "BORING" secret ID and did some disabilty sensitivity training on making sure that people with disabilities were included in their anti bullying campaign.
I even had to explain to them that I was bullied by cruel schoolmates and cruel grownups, told them about Lois Curtis, who was bullied by the evil Georgia Department of Human Resources, on her right to live in the community and proved that she deserved this right and that because of her, we have The Pardon Of The Disabled.
I even explained to these same persons that I was nearly killed over this "pardon" at the hands of Roy Barnes, in front of 40 million viewers on USA Network 10 years ago. I did explain to him that he had NO right in interfering in my fight against another bully, who called me a disabaphobic slur.
I even told them that Roy Barnes did get in trouble with his wife about it and was ordered to apologize to me.
After all that was said and done, I did get lauded and praised for my efforts. I earned not only the respect of the whole panel who was there, I also gotten a standing ovation and the honor of meeting the Reverend Al Sharpton himself, who thought that I was so brave and heroically cute!
And the best part? Well, one of the panelists did apologize to me, for NOT mentioning people with disabilities and that he would see to it that they would be included in the fight against bullying.
And I even signed a petition to support American Federal Legislation to making bullying a crime against not only children who are not like the others, but also to protect adults from being bullied as well.
Today, I am very proud to say, that I have done my heroic part to not only fight for human rights for everyone, and especially for the civil and constituional rights for my disabled brethen.
All in all, I feel that I have made a difference today.
Until we meet on the net, GAME ON!
