The LGBT Christian

We are not damned. We are not liars. We are not blasphemers. We are not hypocrites. We are Christians. We are you.

The LGBT Christian

We didn't set out to kill the church; we're just like you, it's Him we search. If that's so wrong, where's your righteousness? Why are we called the liars, the condemned, the blasphemous?

We invited you in, but you kicked us out- we once held our faith, you filled us with doubt. We opened our arms and you closed the doors, we call you brother while you call us whores.

You show us we're unwanted and condemn us to Hell, but we're the ones showing up at the sound of church bells. You tell the divorcee it was good to leave, you tell us our love makes us wrong to believe.

You point out our sin and ignore your own, forgetting that we'll be equal in front of the Throne. You think it's okay when with sin to pick favorites, you call us wrong while living as hypocrites.

Christ is love and acceptance, not pick and choose; if that were the case, He wouldn't have saved you. In that grave, He buried our sin. He loves us now just as He loved us then.

You like to ignore it, but in God's eyes we're equal; no matter our difference, we're still all His people. If He sees no difference, why do you struggle? We're just a couple, but you call us trouble.

"You'll go straight to Hell," you often proclaim, you say I'm against God, but He knows my name. No matter what you say, it won't be erased. With or without you, I'll see His face.

Let us live, let us love, let us worship in peace. Put your hatred down, let fellowship increase. Christ is love and acceptance, we should be the same. Let's raise up as brothers, not put each other to shame.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
