My baptisim was removed from record (as a recording error) when I refused to deny that I was gay, in 1992, from a Baptist church. Its a heart wrenching pain that all these years later, I still feel with the topic of ANYTHING Baptist and gay come together.

This, this is simply wonderful. I want more words. I cant articulate the hope and bittersweet joy this is welling up for me.

To be welcome, fought for, stood up for, by your church home. In a baptist church home. I never ever thought that would be possible.

Beautiful.

The thought occurs to me to send them a thank you note.

So awesome.
