About Me

Quotes to remember: "True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.” - Louis Nizer"Gay people are victims not of the Bible, not of religion, and not of the church, but of people who use religion as a way to devalue and deform those whom they can neither ignore nor convert" - Reverend Peter J. Gomes
