But if you have options, time, money:

- Is there a local hardware store that could use your patronage?

- Has it been a while since you've stopped in to the town's office supply shop? The pet care shop?

- Is there a grocery store or local coffee spot where you ought to treat yourself?

Izzy says: "We're not interested in tokenism. If you're really affirming and welcoming, you have to show it by advocating for (pro-LGBTQ+) policies in your community. You have to actively be fighting for us, with us."

Today is #HarveyMilk Day – honoring the life and courage of the first out U.S. politician. In our public sphere, there are some who buy the platform for personal gain – but that's not everyone. TY to our #LGBTQ+ policy-makers who exhibit painstaking courage.

Not even when we’re ruled by traffickers and profiteers may we ever sell one another, beloveds, for a bag of silver.

Those are our kin, God’s children. Perhaps it is you. May we never glance down the road and call a culture of destruction normal. May we never become adjusted to our neighbors’ cries for mercy.

When we mourn the suffering and the costly solidarity of Jesus, we cannot help but see the others crucified with him. We cannot neglect God’s lament over all her beloveds, bodies broken all down the road.

Look down the road as you look upon the cross.

In reality, people were crucified commonly enough that they marked the gates to and from cities.

Those who were most commonly crucified were enslaved people and religious and political agitators. Jesus was counted amongst them.

Prosperity preachers are as common as fools' gold, preying on our desires for certainty and comfort. For someone to make things right.

The way of Jesus, however, is much simpler and harder than that.
