Don't wear THAT hat

I wrote this with my Black cap on, for it was truely a Black Hat Daze, not only for gay people but all the children and adults who are overlooked and bullied due to such anti-normal, unacceptable actions as being overweight, wearing glasses instead of contacts, being in math club instead of sports, being gay instead of 'straight', accepting people of any color other than white, accepting anyone with an accent, oh and did I say lesbian, transgender, transexual, bisexual, and gay, or even for being a Religious conservative (no wait, they get a White cap, sorry).  Anyway here's to all the Black Hat Daze; and no I'll never be done until black caps and white caps truely can understand one another and not just "One of my best friends is gay; My brother/sister is gay" as if that makes you okay.  How about I give you a black hat, too.
