I echo your perceptions of my fellow Episcopalians. Although new to the faith tradition, I have found a spiritual home that helps me to weather the intolerance, hatred, and general nastiness that comes our way. Sometimes it's hard to remember that we are who we were meant to be when so many others seem to be speaking on behalf of whatever faith traditions we experience to tell us that our lives as LGBT people are unacceptable. But, I say to all those who use their faith as a weapon against us, I'm not seeking your approval. You don't have to accept me for who I am, like me, or even understand me, but you will respect me. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, we have nothing further to discuss. I may not be able to control what you think about me, but I most definitely can control the importance I place on those views.<br /><br />--KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
