I was curious to see who else was out on wordpress spreading the Word that God loves ALL His Children, Gay, Straight, Bisexual, Lesbian, and Transgendered equally. I found this post in my search and wanted to share it with all of you. I think its a great story.

That Girl Has Got an Opinion

Just read this story in the news about a Christian group that showed up to Chicago Gay Pride holding signs apologizing for other Christians who have hurt the people there in the past. I was literally crying as I read this. It’s one thing to claim that you “don’t have anything against gay people” or that you should “love the sinner, hate the sin.” These people actually took compassion so far as to acknowledge the pain and humiliation that they may have caused others in the past, and to apologize for that. I just think it’s an incredible testament to the true love and compassion of Christ that Christians are supposed to embody, and just reading about this really felt incredible.

Christ has Risen! Alleluia!

Happy Easter everyone!

I have an Easter story for you, but not the one you’re used to hearing. Recently a friend of mine took a part time job as the Music Director at a local Lutheran church. She needed a choir for Easter and asked if some of us singers were willing to help out. I, of course, volunteered. I tend to find excuses to be in church and was eager to see how this turned out. The church choir thing was a fun time to revisit, and if she needs another volunteer, I would probably do it again, but I felt completely awkward. My partner opted not to go because she couldn’t sit with me and we didn’t know how it was going to turn out. I found myself hiding pronouns and limiting conversation so not to be judged by the congregation. Everyone was very sweet and welcoming, but only to the facade. I’d love to go back to church one day. It saddens me that I can’t walk into any House of God and worship freely.

Experiement, failed. :0(
