Gay Pride 2008

I should have zoomed in... But this is a pic of some street preachers who came to Pride to save our damned souls.
It was the usual Hell & damnation... Repent & see that Jesus loves & saves, but NOT unconditionally...
I liked seeing a group of sign-wavers that had insulated the group of preachers. These people had made signs that were pro-gay. They simply stood & hooted & harrahed to drown out the incessant damning & shining offers of salvation.
We went & hugged them to show our support, then stood & made drowning noise of our own for a while.
That just felt so much better than arguing with someone.
One preacher did say something that caught my ear though. "An open-minded person is a convictionless chameleon."
I found myself mulling that one over...
I keep thinking how amazing it must feel to see & act in absolutes, when the world I live in is based in grays.
I don't agree with him, but a part of me envies his surety.
