Keep going. People can change and therefore so can Churches. Ours in Ottawa went through a period of discernment regarding LGTBQ+ inclusion. Over 95% supported FULL inclusion in all aspects of church life and leadership. A few left. Some stayed who weren’t completely on board. I respect them for staying - they need inclusion too. Keep going.

Thank you for such an articulate essay. I have to admit I have been around the LBGTQ+ community since I was a little girl. I never thought our family friends and then my own friends in this community were any different than I was. I am ALWAYS astonished how some people can hate someone because they are not like they are. I firmly believe that EVERYONE belongs to the Kingdom of God. Laws that are being passed to exclude people are just wrong. God loves all of His creations. I firmly believe God does not make mistakes. So thank you for this honest and thoughtful essay. I hope it will reach a wide audience.
