Remember Ryan White. Dec 6, 1971–April 8, 1990

I am thinking of Ryan tonight, the anniversary of his last night. He was a hero to me. From the moment he was refused admittance to school, he has been an inspiration to me.

I am also thinking of his family.

I am also remembering all the people I have been privileged to be with on their last night.  I am still grieving.

Alex Finds Hope in James Christie and is hoping that he is choosen Moderator of the United Church

 I do not know any of the candidates running for moderator. I know nothing about any of them except from what I have heard from them in their speeches to General Counsel and by reading their profiles that are on the General Counsel's website at http://gc40.united-church.ca/about/candidates.

 



What do you think of Pope's comment that the distribution of condoms "aggravates" the problem of AIDS?

This is one of my favorite video. I look at it when I need inspiration and reinforcement im my belief that God exists. In this video God is called Cindy. It shows to me that people are important and can make a difference.

I was a member of Aylmer United Church until 1988. I left because my congregation I felt I had no choice as I say it, Aylmer United voted to exclude Gay and Lesbian men from membership. I was the only gay member of the board and after being angrily denounced by others and sitting through church meetings where I was told how evil I was, 60% of the congregation agreed and voted to exclude me and all other GLBT people from their church.
