The Power of Pink

It is hard to imagine that in this day and age people still associate the colour pink with gay. Well, I guess kids still do, especially in the provinces. That said, here is a wonderful story from Canada about some salutory behaviour from two kids and how they combatted bullying.

Two Nova Scotia students are being praised across North America for the way they turned the tide against the bullies who picked on a fellow student for wearing pink.

The victim — a Grade 9 boy at Central Kings Rural High School in the small community of Cambridge — wore a pink polo shirt on his first day of school.

Bullies harassed the boy, called him a homosexual for wearing pink and threatened to beat him up, students said.

I won't give away the ending, but it is really quite heart-warming!
