My mind was not yet open to "different lifestyles." I'd been raised VERY conservatively. And I accidentally wandered upon a parade. The Pride Parade. And it changed my life. It opened my eyes. I suppose it could have freaked me out and sent me running back to Ohio with my tail tucked between my legs. But God blessed me with an open heart and an open mind. And because of that parade and the love and joy and pride I witnessed, I started questioning and learning and researching. And discovered that I could love God deeply and devoutly and be open, accepting, loving of ALL people. That I was not only free to love ALL people- but that it is expected of me as a Christian, as a child of God. My faith is why I am passionate about gay rights, equality, fairness, freedom. <br /><br />Sorry to get all preachy- I know it isn't for everybody. But I wanted to share that.Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-22053298776378531302009-07-02T01:16:43.422-07:002009-07-02T01:16:43.422-07:00This parade is always fun to watch the way people ...This parade is always fun to watch the way people express their individuality.
