[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]…you knew you wouldn't be welcome if leadership knew you were gay, Republican, divorced, whatever? Being vague on purpose because I'm curious in general how people would react, not about our specific situation.[/quote]

Probably not unless I had a long history there and many solid relationships before my identity became an issue (eg divorced). I am not even gay but converted from religion of upbringing to attend a church where gays/ bis/ gender fluid people are fully accepted and both gays and women are leaders at highest levels of the church. So I would not attend a church where GTBLQ people are not fully included. What if you children turn out to be gay or bi - I would like them treated with respect/ kindness.

It is hard to imagine that political affiliation with a mainstream party  would ever be an issue in DMV - most churches probably want to keep things bipartisan. But maybe that has changed in recent year with extremist polarity? Jesus did say to render into Caesar that which is Caesar’s (taxes) and to render unto to God that which is God’s (worship, love and praise) - I hope most churches in our area do that but maybe not?
