File:Note on the unicorn cosplay of fail.jpg

Dear Cathy W, August 10, 2017

I've had a day that started out happy and delightful. I felt like donning my pony ears and unicorn horn, and tail, to my church today. I've made a lot of people smile, and it was as normal as could be, with my sharing the joys from BronyCon 2017. Then later, during a bible verse reading my church friend suddenly burst out in tears; I felt along with her (the hate bout in Charlottesville, VA last weekend). Then, my pastoral counselor (who was part of the choir this week) hands me a note. "Please remove your headgear; its reminding us of Nazis" (specifically the NOT Nazi Jesters who mocked the haters). I felt utter shock; I removed my headgear, and I tensed up. Fanning myself with the program, as I was feeling hot; I ended up closing myself and breaking out in tears myself. Being forced to remove what made me and most other people smile, feeling like not being able to calm a post-bouted crowd, the empathy for my friend and not being able to make her smile... just about killed my mood. I sat there, fanning myself with my right, gripping the bench with my left, And paralyzed, I stayed a while longer. Then I left during the collection, with the plates. I took a rest and a valium after I got back home. I feel some recovered, but feel some mild headache now. Have y'all ever heard such a thing? Pony Ears and Unicorn Horn being reminisent of an anti-Nazi Jester? I've Never. And I meant no harm. What are your thoughts, Cathy? Thank you for listening Christine Weston Chandler
