Why I Celebrate Gay Pride Month: A Conversation about Family, A Congregation, and a Flower
A series of personal stories in answer to the question Rev. Dr, Maria Christina asked last June about “why do we celebrate gay pride?” I had so many things going through my mind that I didn’t get one reason out of my mouth. But the question kept turning around in my mind and the answers were too long for a church service. When I was growing up, during meals my Dad would tell stories about his Mom and Dad and himself that helped me understand what they went through growing up, the difficulties and choices they had to make.
