Shower of Stoles

The relationship between homosexuality and religion is fragile at best. Many of the prejudices that people cling to are declared to be based in religion. When there is a person who is gay and is also religious, it is met with confusion and sometimes anger and even more hatred.

The Northaven United Methodist Church in Dallas currently has an exhibit of liturgical stoles (religious garb worn by clergy around the neck, usually over a clerical robe) from different Jewish and Christian denominations from religious leaders that are gay. There is an article that further details it here, and the exhibit will be open until June 5. If you're in the Dallas area you should check it out and hear the stories and honor those who are standing up for themselves and fighting hatred in Jesus' name, amen.
