There is so much wrong with this picture--thinking your day needed brightening up just because you're in a wheelchair, thinking so much of themselves that they thought they were brightening your day, touching you without your say-so, dismissing and mocking your stated boundaries...just ugh! to all of it.<br /><br />By the way, I was at a conference this past weekend where your name and your work came up several times. A small handful of us were trading "isn't he awesome!" comments, specifically around your work on sexualities and people with intellectual disabilities.

You may be a magnet for shit, but you are a lightening rod for change and education.

You are very protective of his privacy - a prime consideration for a married blogger - but I smile whenever you do mention him.<br /><br />The problem with drunks is that you never know when they're going to turn nasty - they're literally out of control, and I think laws should hold them MORE responsible for what they do after they have chosen to get inebriated, rather than letting them off when they kill someone with a car, for example, because they 'lacked mental capacity to form intent.'<br /><br />Anyway, hope it didn't spoil your evening - but I know these things leave a bad taste.<br /><br />AliciaABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.com
