We are honored to stand with him, and with all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people who are struggling, against great odds, for a society that is just, compassionate and inclusive. Robert said he's always been aware of the risks associated with being visible in his activism. It's impossible to grow up gay without knowing that. But it's scary, sometimes, to have that level of hatred directed right at you. I believe God embraces us all.
People sometimes speak in voices of hatred, contempt, and fear.
But God always speaks in a voice of love and justice. Its work is based on the belief in the worth of every person, and faith in the power of love to overcome violence and injustice. PA 19102 Links are for information only, and do not imply AFSC endorsement.
