A lot of people express discomfort with flags and parades. It might help to understand these were symbols and events created 40- 50+ years ago to support those who were not being supported by family, neighbors, and churchgoers. So many LGBTQ people had been thrown out of their homes and communities simply for who they were.
Can you believe it has been that long and we still need these symbols to help others feel supported and loved?
If everyone would follow the example of this woman, and love their Igbta family members for who they are, and take the time to learn how to be supportive, there would be no need for flags or parades, or
division. It's that simple!
And it is absolutely what the Savior expects of us.
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye have love one to another. John 13:
34-35
