Matthew was the Universy of Wyomg stunt who was hung on fencepost, beaten, and left for ad for beg gay on October 8, 1998 and the subject of the play The Laramie Project. As a 17-year-old statewi high school Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) ordator, I was ved as a townie to go over to the llege mp to hear this talk. When I first me out, I didn’t say, “I am gay.
And of all of the Pri Month anthems of all time, the one the chos will sg after the sermon, origally om the 1983 play La Cage x Foll and ma famo by dis superstar Gloria Gaynor, is a favore. It is so meangful that The Connecticut Gay Men’s Chos has been asked to even sg at funerals and memorial servic even one as recent as 2014 for The Rev. While there are some rare church that will have gay misters now (and believe me even rare the UCC), is the LGBTQ muny that fds and claims our own Sacred Texts and Scripture—the anthems.
An LGBTQ Pri Anthem is not necsarily, pecially historilly, a song that was wrten for those of who are lbian, gay, bi, trans, or queer. If any stutn serv to be “ncelled, ” by morn standards of stutnal acuntabily for wrongdog, racism, homophobia, ableism, soc-enomic jtice, war-mongerg, and protectg and enablg systemic enomic jtice… is the Church and the Bible.
