I came across the photo on Tumblr a few days ago and it made me happier than you can believe. One of the main reasons I have turned away from the Church after being raised in it is the level of hate I felt resonated from there towards people like this man, who have done nothing beyond fall in love. This photo, and the story, give me hope that one day, people can change, and a loving God can truly love everyone.Emily Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804221419991670709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-17869710404016768622012-02-17T08:18:37.893-06:002012-02-17T08:18:37.893-06:00This brings a smile to my face and tears to my eye...This brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes at the same time.

I have a class right now called Intercultural Communication and we recently watched a video called For the Bible Tells Me So, which is essentially a documentary on the Bible's viewpoint on the LGBTQ community, and follows several devoutly religious parents who have gay sons or daughters, and their different reactions. It's very good (but a little "scary" and definitely saddening at times)and I would recommend it!

He stood by me as I walked thru my crazy past of drugs/raves. He is the one who actually brought me back to a relationship with Christ, we took a road trip to visit my family in new england after a bad night of partying, Thomas was sober but since I knew the DJs I was very drunk. Thomas had to drive us home in my car, he said that when I got into my car (passenger side) he said "sweet heart watch out for the Mercedes parked next to you" I was so drunk I slammed my car door into that car bc I hated the world and didn't care. The next day on our road trip we were stuck on the New Jersey turnpike in traffic. Thomas tells me this story of this rich father who had two daughters and one daughter decided to take her inheritance and decided to party and just spend it all. One morning she woke up and realized she had nothing, no friends, no money nothing, then she thought that the servants in her fathers house have more than her. She decided she was going to ask her father for forgiveness, as she walked home her father saw her in a distance and ran out to her and said "what is lost is now found my daughter has come home" I was driving, started crying and said "Thomas that’s a beautiful story where is it from" and Thomas said "sweet heart its in the bible, now you need to turn back to your father (god in heaven" and I said "shut up we are not going to talk about this" Thomas who knew me so well and knew my heart just knew to wait it out. A few days later I decided to give God another chance. A few years after that I wanted to work in full time ministry at a church. Thomas warned me that I might stop being his friend because of it. I swore I would never stop being a friend. He was family to me. But what I didn’t realize was the prejudice I got from people I worked with. I worked at a mega church in the DC area for over 5 years and Thomas was a very well known hair dresser in DC, when pastors or people at the church would ask where to get their haircut I would refer Thomas and some people were really mean about it. They would make comments and I would ask them if they think they are better than my friend. Than my friend who walked the dark road with me and led me back to Christ. Every Christmas I would spend with Thomas, we would get something to eat and go see a movie in DC, I also had many co-workers talk badly about how I would hang out with my gay friend on Christmas. I didn’t understand, but I fiercely defended my friend. He was my best friend. <br /><br />When I got married (2 years ago) I had some of my in laws ask if he was going to come to my wedding. I said of course, he is my best friend. I finally stopped working at the church. On my last day on the drive home I called my best friend, we cried on the phone together. I was pregnant and was due a few weeks after Thomas’s birthday. I can tell you what I did on December 10th for the past 11 years (spend it with my best friend Thomas) well I ended up going into labor early and had my son almost a month early. On Thomas’s birthday. My son shares my best friends birthday. Thomas has had allot of horrific things done and said to him by people who call themselves Christians (I want nothing to do with these Christians) he actually moved out of the country to live with his boyfriend in Peru last year but is visiting this May. This story brings tears to my eyes…because I know with all of my heart…that Jesus would have hugged and hung out with every single one of those guys. I wish the Christians I worked with acted the way Jesus did.Mycharmingcolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546056836938625454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-46281700850849963112012-02-16T15:37:54.107-06:002012-02-16T15:37:54.107-06:00I've seen this on tumblr too, and I really wis...I've seen this on tumblr too, and I really wish more people have turning points like this in the future. With all the gloom and doom people are talking about in 2012, I think it's love, acceptance, and forgiveness that's gonna end up saving the world. Only if we all stick together and put our differences aside. <br /><br />I've been writing about self love and acceptance on my blog lately too, and your blog has inspired me multiple times over the year or so that I've been following you.
