The guy who preached in the Quad...
One thing I’ve always notice about the Quad is that it’s always busy. Everybodu usually has to walk through if from time to time to get to their classes and I guess that’s why it’s the perfect place to get people’s attention. I can’t walk through the Quad without being pressured to take a flyer from Green Peace or a roll from the Japenese Club, it can get intense and so it did in this Spetember. A random guy I’m not sure his name decided to organize this public speaking. He caught my attention one day as I was walking to Centnial for my Communications class. I was in a rush but couldn’t help but to stop and stare as he was screaming at the top of his lungs that gay marriage is wrong. It was shocking to witness such a thing, someone so brave to express that kind of opinion when that subject is viewed widly here on campus. I stood and watched him get attacked by outraged on lookers, I knid of felt bad for the guy. He held a Bible in his hand and tried his best to preach what he thought was right. It was kind of hard to watch and listen to as he stood on the Stallion statues. I walked away in shock from that day forth I understood what the Quad was all about. I heard form a couple of my classmates that he had organized other times he would preach his word in the Quad and I decided to go to see if his message had changed or if he was as crazy as I thought. Again he stood in the same place holding the same Bible preaching his same views, it amazed me this time because he had a community of bi-sexuals, lesbians,and gays standing near his feet protesting his every word. Some of it was hialrious, a lot of it was taken a lot lighter than I expected something of that mass would. I let the scene shaking my head and even laughing and found out that soon after I left someone had actually hit the guy, I felt really bad.
