Toronto Cop Dyes Hair Hot Pink: Taking Stand Against Bullying & Homophobia
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/toronto-dyes-hair-hot-pink-fight-bullying-homophobia-article-1.2177536snip-
Luke Watson dyed his hair hot pink to fight LGBT discrimination, and he's letting Twitter users choose how long he keeps the new 'do.
Watson promised that for every 1,000 retweets of a picture of his new style, he'll keep the hair color for another week.

The initial picture to #StopBullyingNow went viral, amassing 1,000 retweets within two hours Wednesday.
Watson dyed his hair for the International Day of Pink, a day of events to "raise awareness to stop homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny and all forms of bullying," according to its website.

Thank you for taking a stand and kudos to you.
I'd like to kiss his forehead for the great brain that lies underneath, with lots of heart and soul. Thank you for being so compassionate!
TWEET AND THEN TWEET SOME MORE.
This is what evolution looks like. It's possible. With enough compassion and love... anything is possible!
