Mike Tyson may be a rapist and have cannibalistic tendencies, but he is apparently not a homophobe. I found this article in the Los Angeles Daily News under the headline: Tyson hugs gay-rights activist.
"Mike Tyson hugged a demonstrator in Memphis, Tenn. on Sunday who shouted “stop homophobia” at him.
Tyson, in town to fight heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on Saturday night, got out of a sports utility vehicle outside a fitness center and walked over to nearby gay rights activists.
“I was shouting stop homophobia and holding up my sign, and then he just came up and hugged me and said he wasn’t homophobic,” said Jim Maynard, vice chair of Equality Tennessee and one of three demonstrators.
“I was totally shocked,” Maynard told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. “I didn’t really know what to do. So I just posed with him and smiled for the cameras. It’s a step in the right direction.”"
You just never know when a random act of kindness will be prformed by the person from whom you'd least expect it. I guess there’s a little bit of good in everyone.
So keep on thinking those good thoughts,
