"How many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?" Those lyrics were meant to refer to the deaths in the Viet Nam war, and perhaps in all wars -- so I was told, anyway. But on the Journey to Freedom for my gay lesbian brothers and sisters, too many have died -- by their own hand, and by the hands of those whose minds have been filled with hate from those who claim to speak in the name of Jesus.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, who never turned away anyone who wanted to follow him (though he made no bones in telling folk what that meant), weeps at these needless deaths. My Journey to Freedom will be incomplete until all are free. My journey is incomplete until the war against the GLBT community is over.
