Church that you usually attend : Christian friends you got a job to do this Sunday. Be brave and be bold and speak out DURING your service in support of LGBT rights. I hear a lot about good Christians but I don’t hear a lot about this changing the churches that remain anti-LGBT on Sunday morning. If you are apart of an already pro-LGBT church, good for you. The rest of you, balls up and fight the fight. Please, silence and passivity is not helping.
