She was polite, cheerful, nice looking, well dressed, and just having a good time without obviously bothering anyone. -- All the things someone seeking "acceptance" should appreciate. I know nothing about her beyond a 10 second interaction when she briefly came in to the restaurant, and happened to greet me with a "Bonjour". But she seemed to me as immediately likeable and good-hearted. If anything, the Castro citizen who lodged the complaint sounds like the type who inhibits "acceptance". I wish the woman well and hope the Castro citizen can develop a softer stance.<br /><br />As for acceptance, I seek to be accepted as is (by myself and by others); not as something I'm not, not as someone conforming to somebody else's arbitrary rules of conduct. And I seek to accept others as they are; whether or not they conform to arbitrary social rules or to the way I choose for myself. We, including me, all need to work at getting along better together amidst our wide diversity, and to appreciate that diversity..TealGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089141535721129214noreply@blogger.com
