Wal-Mart Sponsors Idaho Gay Week

7:30 PM - Oct. 31, 2006 - Add to the Wildness

Yep. It does. Go here to see Boise State U's official release. What was I most concerned about? Probably the "youth dance" mentioned at the bottom, a non-alcoholic evening aimed at those 24 years old and younger. It's the sort of thing I would have gone to for a lark when I was 16, just for the hey of it. Not sure who I'd be today if I had.

Just above it, there's the mention of Metropolitan Community Church's little presentation about "LGBT faith and the Bible." You guys, honestly. You don't want the Book, so quit trying to pretend you do. It is what it is. It's not a living document, much as some elements of our society try to treat it that way. In fewer words: You can't change the Bible. It's not the Bible anymore if you do.

It's not about "hate." It's about believing in people more than they believe in themselves. Never will I accept the argument that "I'm just gay and there's nothing I can do about it." I believe the human spirit is more powerful than that, and I believe the Holy Spirit is far more powerful than that.

If you want to talk innate characteristics, it could have been argued that I myself was just a naturally emotionally-detached person, twelve years ago, without the natural inclination to form lifelong relationships. That there was nothing to be done about it, and I shouldn't have been "judged" for it. That would have been wrong too.

Go here for links to action items. Some of us might want to let Wal-Mart know how we feel about where our shopping dollars end up.
