Thank you Hampton United for sharing this timely message.
Peace, Blessings and Justice
Rev. Linton
It's Pride Month. But we want to be clear to our friends and family (even the stranger reading this)…we are proud to love you every single day.
This month is our opportunity to be more vocal about it.
We are praying love around you. Around you who have to fight to live the way God made you (which is beautiful); around you who worry about being your authentic self for fear of judgment and persecution; around you who have to fight for a place at the table at school/at work/or at home; around you who have to defend yourself against people who call your gender/sexuality a choice.
I pray you know God loves you and that we, your allies, love you, too. I pray you know that we are here and that you reach out when you need our support. I pray you feel our praying hands holding you when you face trials inwardly (in your own “self”) and out in the world.
God made a wonderful world and you are a wonderful, beautiful part of it. God loves you and we all love you, too. And not a come-and-go kind of love…the forever kind.
