#LoveWins

I am beyond words this morning. "Justice has arrived like a thunderbolt!" Today my heart is filled with love, joy, and pride. Last night I was honored to be welcomed into preliminary fellowship as a UU mister at our national General Assembly. It was moving and powerful and we were charged up to continue to draw our circle wide to all who are seeking a spiritual home. This morning I wake up to the news of this historic Supreme Court decision and I am even more proud and honored to be part of a faith that has held love at the center, affirmed that love makes a family, and fought for marriage equality. As a new minister, I pledge to continue to hold love at the center, to fight for justice and equality and welcome all who search into our doors. I want my LGBTQ friends and all others to know you are a blessing and you are loved. We are with you always. You have been waiting far too long for this day. We celebrate you. And, when you are ready to get married, find a UU minister. We will say "YES"! Let us lift up our voices in praise and song, especially those of us together at ‪#‎UUAGA to remind ourselves that our actions can indeed make change and that as our president lifted up, "create ripples of hope!" ‪#‎LoveWins
