Re St. Tammany Parish Library South Slidell Branch, near New Orleans Louisiana

https://maps.app.goo.gl/MSR3BHPQ7AELSPWR6 


Somebody (probably juveniles) vandalized my car while I was in the library. They ripped the red ribbon πŸŽ€ off my front grille . This was on my grille to cover the cracked grille until I can find a replacement. The juveniles probably thought it was "gay". 

No. I'm not gay nor am I promoting it. I'm actually a Christian evangelist with traditional values. It never occurred to me that this could be interpreted as "gay'' but when I reflect on the way adolescents minds work, I suppose I can see how it might be misperceived as such, along with my out-of- state plates from a state that is often slandered by some, due to the politicians behavior (but which many of us who live there also do not agree with).

So when people make broad sweeping negative generalizations about those of us with such license plates based on our politicians, they are adding further insult to injury to those of us who disagree with our own politicians. 

I personally am more in agreement in general with the politics of places such as Louisiana and Mississippi but some people ignorantly & WRONGLY ASSUME that because of my license plate I am in agreement with the politics of my state.

 The teen kids of these people probably internalized the same misjudgements and is probably why they vandalized my car: the red ribbon πŸŽ€ in conjunction with my license plate. 

Thankfully they didn't key my car paint or flatten my tires. Maybe the surveillance camera inhibited them, or maybe hopefully they have at least enough self-restraint not to go so far. 

I was able to re-tie the red ribbon πŸŽ€ to my front grille. It looks better than a cracked grille. And NO, it DOESN'T mean I am gay. I'm NOT gay. I am a male who loves women. 

Hopefully somebody can teach these juveniles (and their parents if necessary) not to make such ignorant superficial erroneous presumptions πŸš«πŸ‘Ž based on a license plate πŸš— and/or a simple red ribbon πŸŽ€.
