Christian Group Shows Up To Chicago Gay Pride Holding Apologetic Signs | Practikel
What do y'all think about this? Some folks are saying, "Well, it had to start somewhere," or, "Neat!"
Personally, it has to happen and take place and be seen and covered by the media MUCH more than the one-off at Chicago. Things like this have happened before - Chicago wasn't the first instance. This might have been the first instance that has gone somewhat viral.
For as much as churches (not only the Christian churches, but also the Mormon church, Islam, and Judaism religious groups) have stood firmly against the gay community for so long, one or two hugs affecting a small, accepting congregation isn't enough.
It didn't "have to start" anywhere, actually, but I'm glad this interaction was captured to show it's possible.
