DJ is so amazing...

DJ has a friend, Mike (who is also one of my seminary students). Mike habitually uses the term "gay" in a derogatorily descriptive way.

Last month, DJ heard it one time too many. He turned to Mike and said, "I don't like it when you say that." Mike wanted to know why. DJ said, "I know several guys who are gay. They're very good friends of our family, and some of the coolest people I know."

It's been one month. Mike hasn't used the term once in that time. That says a lot about him. It also speaks volumes about the impact one person can have.

DJ is pretty cool, himself.
