"I propose we honor the lives we remember today by answering the church’s call to remember the dead by exhorting our church to reconsider its policies, attitudes, and remarks about transgender people, which too often have the overall effect of legitimizing the bigotry that kills."
On Transgender Day of Remembrance: Why Our Church Needs to Do More - New Ways Ministry
As we honor the lives we remember today, I believe we are all called to examine whether our Church's witness, in practice, clears pathways for Christ's love to spread or puts up obstacles.

Forty years ago, GLAAD's founders came together to tell the truth about who LGBTQ people really are to counteract the media spreading fear and disinformation about LGBTQ people and the AIDS crisis. They knew that if they could do this at scale— if they could shift the story— the world would change.

I am glad to see SCOTUS denying Kim Davis's attempt to overturn marriage equality.
These baseless attempts to invalidate marriage for same-sex couples are designed to intimidate our community and put families like mine in danger. We all deserve to be happy, and if we choose, to get married.
