Campus Pride is an organization that works with college
campuses around the country to assist with programming and social events, and
is a place where people can go for a number of LGBTQ resources related to
college. We worked with Matt, the Web Master of the Campus Pride website, to
transfer data to their new website. He explained that they were creating a
single platform for Campus Pride resources instead of what they have in right
now - multiple websites for their data. I had a lot of fun using the love of my
life, Wordpress, and I think others enjoyed getting to know the platform as
well.
Some of us bought friendship bracelets at Target.
Later on we had a picnic in a park near the church, went to
Target two more times and played Telephone Pictionary. Ashley and I cooked a
delicious dinner of pancakes and sausage. Mitch would like me to tell you that
he also flipped a few pancakes, and they were abundantly adequate. We also may
or may not have blown flour into Blake’s face. After consuming our delicious
meal, the group headed uptown. We had frozen yogurt while discussing conspiracy
theories, politics and being stuck in the friend zone.
Right after fro-yo we had one of the most interesting
experiences thus far. Leah began talking to a nicer looking older man at a hot
dog stand. He asked why we were here in Charlotte, we explained, and he then
proceeded to rant about the horrors of homosexuality. Leah handled the
situation superbly and attempted to educate him. Sometimes though, there is no
leeway to be had. This lead us to form our trip’s motto: Never meet someone at
a hot dog stand.
