I wear a rainbow because…
I Believe that the rainbow is a symbol of a promise from God,I believe we are God’s children and have an inheritance in that promise.I believe that wearing it reminds those who would deny my child a place at God’s table that they don’t own the guest list.I believe that wearing it gives hope to a gay younger that there are adults who can love him/herI believe that wearing it gives parents and open door to talk to me about their gay children; and that leads to affirmed and healthy childrenI believe that it starts the conversation with those who are ignorant of the struggles of gay fold….Etc.
