Chicago Gay Pride Parade 2009
Short and to the point—this is officially the worst evangelism tool ever found on the face of the earth. Sadness strikes me in great amounts hearing this gay man’s response. Much love.www.themarinfoundation.org

In this video I get yelled at and told I’m going to hell. The protestors thought I was gay. When I told them I wasn’t gay and went to a conservative seminary, I was still told I’m going to hell. One thing to notice about half way through the video, the guy with the megaphone [...]

So. Many. People. In this video I offer a little prayer for bridge builders amidst the opportunity to be involved. Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org

In this clip I interview Nathan, a straight man who is walking in the Parade. And funny enough, he goes to an evangelical seminary in Chicago as well! One of the things that Nathan says is that he sometimes feels as though he is more loved by the GLBT community than he is by his [...]

Although she would group her own theological beliefs in a more liberal category, she said that she totally believes that someone can hold onto a conservative theological belief [...]

This is the first interview I conducted at the Parade. As soon as I got there I saw a group of people wearing purple shirts with the transgender logo on them (you’ll see the logo in the video). None of the people in the shirts “looked” transgender, so I went up to them and asked [...]
