were there religious groups at your pride? (try two)

[Poll #1586116]


my ass was showing, so i have deleted and recreated, if you're wondering why you're seeing this twice.

there's a blog post going around at the moment, where a christian group went to a pride parade and held up signs apologizing for how other christians had treated them poorly. and i am pleased to see that happened, and i think it doesn't happen enough.

but some people seem so astonished by christians being at pride at all that i am just wondering, do your local churches not come?

there was an entire uu delegation there, i believe, and enormous stickers being handed out saying "lutherans love me" (which is not entirely true, as it's only the elca that i know of and even they are still discussing acceptable career choices for queers at least they were last time i checked).

any hate the sin love the sinner rhetoric gets your comment frozen if not deleted and you possibly banned. fyi.

markgritter and I have been going to a hippie Presby church that does things like giving us free tree seedlings to plant.

I used to think their e-mail list was only for potluck emergencies ("in case you didn't know because you slept in and skipped church! we're having a potluck! so don't miss the potluck! because that's the important part!"). But now I know their e-mail list is for potluck emergencies and to make sure everybody knows what time the bus leaves for Pride. So.
