anthropoidia reblogged your post: jamiesugah: Now that Halloween is over, most of…

I was not aware that they actively discriminate. I thought they were more in the “we disapprove, but we don’t turn away the hungry” camp. Argh.

Did you check the link?  I think there are more cases like that — where gay couples were actively denied help unless they split up, trans* people were housed with the wrong gender, etc.

i have found the tumblr of my people.

Once an Episcopalian, always a genuflecting incense-burning liturgy-loving liberal.

(Don’t tell the Lutherans.)

I don’t even know what that is. Guess who is not the best at being an Episcopalian.

Also I think I am secretly mostly a low church person. Not into the incense.

Things that are OK:

- Not knowing what Cursillo is
- Being a low church person
- Not liking incense

Things that are not OK:

(Cursillo is a three-day leadership formation event for lay people, with priests as spiritual guides to the event.)

Well hi!  Welcome, and stuff.  It’s taken me a while to recognize my own belovedness, but here are the things that hold me up on a daily basis.
