girlietoo, what are you talking about. You sound like a fool. NYC is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world! It makes no sense to deny this man the right to practice freedom of religion. And while you brought up the pink hair thing, let me make this crystal clear:
It's NOT the same thing
A man being allowed to wear his hair in it's NATURAL state is not to be compared to a person who deliberately dyes or chemically treats their hair in order to stand out. This should not be compared to body piercings either. You choose to pierce your body. You choose to tattoo your body. These are changes that are made by you. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just saying that it's not fair to make it akin to what this man was doing. In essence, the police department is telling him NOT to be natural. There is something terribly wrong with that. He's not trying to make a statement, he's simply trying to live his life as the man that God created him, the way that God created him.
