It endures despite all the odds; it survives in the face of cruel ostracism; it speaks with a quiet dignity. Welcome to the world of gay evangelicals. Money quote:
"A lot of people are freaked out because their only exposure to evangelicalism was a bad one, and a lot ask, ‘Why would you want to be part of a group that doesn‚Äôt like you very much?’ But it‚Äôs not about membership in groups. It’s about what I believe. Just because some people who believe the same things I do aren’t very loving doesn’t mean I stop believing what I do."
I know few greater testaments to the power of faith in Jesus, or to the blessedness of being gay.
