So...I marched in the Christian humility parade yesterday (to church). The whole hour was focused on God. The sermon was the last of the series on the fruits of the Spirit. (Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control).
It was not a hand wringing "NOW what are we gonna do?!" sermon. That is because nothing has changed about what we are going to do. We are going to "love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind" and "love our neighbor as ourselves".
Christians opposed to same sex marriage need to stop being like Kanye West at the awards. Your person didn't win. Sit down. Not your mic. Not your time. Not your fans.
If you listen, you will hear story after story of people finally feeling free to share what it is like to live in fear and in shadow. Let them speak. Let them speak. Let them speak. Living free, living in the light, loving out loud has won the day.
The ideal of monogamous, committed, married love has been elevated and extended. Whether you agree or disagree about who those parties are, is of no consequence now. The party will go on with or without you. Love will find a way. Love has found a way. Listen. It sounds a lot like you.
