Faith Doesn't Erase Grief
Embracing the Experience and Finding Hope

At an Intersection on Queer Inclusion, But Not on the Fence
As humans in polite society, we know when it’s socially acceptable to avoid certain topics. Politics, finances, a secret penchant for blaring Nickelback alone in the car—we all pick and choose what to reveal in various settings.
