Hi again, cubs!
First, I would like to thank you for giving me a shout out in your last episode. I am glad my email was able to clarify some of your questions and I hope your episode was able to answer other people’s questions as well. Second, I was gladly surprised to receive a public invitation to your podcast! I’d be happy to try it out as I have never been invited to a podcast before. I am going to be moving to Albuquerque, NM this Friday and will not have internet at home for a few days… or many (if you have comcast you may know what I mean). However, let me know how you’d like to start this.
Best,
Francisco Salgado-Garcia (aka Cisco)

I will not be silenced by fear.
The father of Omar Mateen, the suspect who shot and killed more than 50 people at Orlando’s gay nightclub Pulse, said that his son didn’t like it when he saw two men kissing recently in Miami.
Go out and kiss. In public. Make seeing a kiss a common thing. Take away it’s “shock” value. Do it for those who died, and those who won’t because you had the courage to express your love.

The “Kiss Goodnight” is the Magic Kingdom’s way of ending your day at the park where they light up the castle in a unique way plus have a narrator wishing you had a magical time at the park. During the vigil, Disney cut the music normally played, and changed the lighting scheme to a rainbow.
