This is personal to me. “Go Gold for Childhood Cancer” is the theme for September Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

The Empire State Building, which will go multiple colors for everything from gay causes to sports teams has refused to go gold for childhood cancer. Their choice, but it’s so cold in its decision making.

And now the rainbow white house kicks cancer-stricken kids out when they try to ‘go gold’ with hundreds of candles.

Childhood cancer is scary...deadly...but what have these little kids done.

Lauren Hill, deceased now, basketball player who raised over a million bucks for childhood cancer, and herself a childhood brain cancer patient, wasn’t considered for ESPN’s ‘courage in sports award’, but it went instead to Bruce Jenner, who’d donned a skirt and makeup to help beat a traffic death charge.

It’s perfectly simple: They’re kids. They cannot vote for Democrats. Therefore they are non-entities.

Cynical, yes, trite, yes, but it fits the facts...

They were born. That is enough for the opponent of BAIPA.

It’s a fallen world, Padre. It’s best we simply pray. It’s easy to pray for our sick children and hard to pray for those who would choose the likes of a Bruce Jenner over them, but praying for them is precisely what we must do if we are to fulfill our created purpose and become like God.

Here's another thread. See Xzins's post #2 above about the Empire State Building, too.

This is terrible, Xzins. There’s no excuse for the way these children and their families have been treated.

I don’t understand it, either. Why would the WH and the Empire State Building light up rainbow colors, but not gold for childhood cancer?
