Today being a very important day in American history (and Californian for that matter), I thought I would share some words and thoughts of a person who is very close to me. My former youth pastor Jay has been a person that I have been able to come to and share my story with and know that I am going to be embraced with love and grace. Jay is committed to understanding the love and grace behind spirituality by being a living example of that. Today Jay voted against Proposition 8, here are some of his words and thoughts from his blog:
Gay marriage is another evolution of this fluid institution. Instead of rejecting a healthy and committed expression of love toward the another (singular), we ought to be embracing the decision and desire of homosexual men and woman to join into and make their own “moral expressions” of commitment to one another. Gay marriage is something to be celebrated and something to give thanks unto God for. I believe it is a beautiful thing for people to make moral commitments to one another, and for the Church to embrace, through active grace, those decisions.
That’s why I voted NO on PROPOSITION 8. Read Jay's blog here.
