Being Gay Loving God

Arts, Health, News & Politics, Society & Culture

For many in the LGBTI Community, religion is a ‘dirty word’ and you don’t have too far to work out exactly why?
For centuries our community has been shunned, vilified, demonised and excommunicated from nearly every Christian based religious institution and you would be excused if thought that the only people against gay marriage were directly connected to a major Christian Church.
Today’s guest will probably prove me wrong on just about every one of those fronts. Her name is Rev. Elder Darlene Garner from the Metropolitan Community Church and she has been a pioneer throughout her extraordinary life. www.mccchurch.org
