An article in the Denver Post today

My heart goes out to this pastor and his family. I want to hold him and his family in my arms. It's not easy. A life full of self doubt and devoid of mercy is not worth living. But i'm happy for them because the truth allows us to live our lives out loud, like we mean it, like we are made to do. That is, the truth sets us free - a really neat guy told me that.

Contrary to Pastor Barnes, I believe that people are born with a sort of pre-sexual orientation already in place. I believe that the time is right for the Christian churches to accept that being gay is okay. I also believe it's about time for the gay community to do some soul-searching and reach out to their Christian brothers and sisters.

Draw us in the Spirit's tether
For when humbly in thy name
Two or three are met together
Thou art in the midst of them
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Touch we now thy garment's hem
