Congratulations on your choice and it is thrilling to hear that the outcome was so well received.

Yes, religion and the gay community at times does not meet, but there are groups that do feel that everyone is the same in Christ. And is loved by everyone. I am glad that Karla is trying to help our community to feel that love. I hope that everyone will give this a try and to help the rest of our society in general to see that love throughout.

I am pleased to see that some people, like Karla, are having better experiences with their churches. However, as this was pointed out to me recently, I’d like to remind everyone at Stonewall that religion and Christianity are not co-terminous; and there are many people of other faiths who feel shut-out not only from their religious communities, but also from the LGBTQ communities, which tend to host “religious” or “spiritual” events that are almost if not entirely exclusive of all other faith systems. I hope that as Stonewall embarks on a new journey with religious faiths it can be more proactively inclusive than have other movements in other times. Aloha, Holly
