So here’s the scoop. Inspired by Give Brian Equality Group (because friends don’t let friends be second-class citizens), we decided to donate all personal...
Birthday- Andrea Gibson
At 12 years old I started bleeding with the moon and beating up boys who dreamed of becoming astronauts. I fought with my knuckles white as stars, and left bruises the shape of Salem. There are things we know by heart, and things we don’t. At 13 my friend Jen tried to teach me how to blow rings of smoke. I’d watch the nicotine rising from her lips like halos, but I could never...

In 7th grade, I was forced to transfer to a middle school where I knew no one. The same year, a boy named Kris King moved to the area from Ohio. We were initially outcast as the new kids and were each other’s only friends. We played in band together all through middle school and high school.

In my intro. class, I’ve sat next to this really cool kid every day. I’ve called him “Drew” all semester.

PETA, your new ad is certainly not in the best interest of animals it is extremely offensive, insensitive and self serving. It shows you lack good character and integrity.
