"To teach the importance of improving the world around him, Malcolm was given $140 to give away to the charity of his choice. After hearing a story on the radio about the mistreatment of gays and lesbians, Malcolm became both upset and curious about the issue…to help, he chose to split his money between the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation." - Malcolm's MomThe center is calling him their "Littlest Champion," and rightly so. The young boy sent $140 to the charities of his choice, simply because he doesn't think it's fair that Gay people should be treated unequally. It truly brings hope that someday there will be an end to all the bigotry, hatred and discrimination we face in the world today. And even if you question whether he did this on his own or by his parents' sentiment, at least he's learning about Gay people at an early age. Thank you, Malcolm - this has made my morning.

Thanks for sharing this. Kind of makes you wonder, why a child recognizes a wrong but certain grownups don't?
I agree Orlando, I pray that our kids will someday live in a country where they are wholly accepted. And thank you, I was happy to blog about this today.
With this generation, and future ones to come, their is hope for equal right yet.
