A SPECIAL MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY LGBTQ+ SISTERS AND BROTHERS

I wish a Merry Christmas to folks who are estranged from their families just because of who they are.  

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS!

NUMBER TWENTY THREE

Nikki Kuhnhausen, 17, of Vancouver, Washington, is the 23rd reported murdered this year. She is the second teenager killed.

DINNER FOR LGBTQ+ YOUTH

Tonight the Beyond Labels ministry hosted a dinner for LGBTQ+ youth. A number of people of various ages came. I had a wonderful conversation with a transman who remembered me from a panel I was on back in November.  There were games, food, music, dancing, and fun.

I would do another one of these and pray that it happens again in the future.   

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

STANFORD WOMEN WIN NCAA SOCCER TITLE

The Cardinals won their second title in three years with a hard-fought victory over the University of North Carolina (0-0; 5-4) on penalty kicks. 

PUSH BACK

The way I see it if the government is going to push back on denying trans people their rights, then we need to push right back. 

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.

LIVING MY LIFE

It's early for me to give my thoughts about the past year but I'm breaking with my tradition. The bias against transgender and non-conforming people has been ramped up. Combine that with the current administration undoing the rights we fought for and there may a storm coming. I'm not going to let anyone stop me from living my life I refuse to be invisible.  

COMMENTARY

Thanksgiving festivities will conclude tonight. People returning home from visiting family in other places. Thankful for getting together with people we love. I am mindful of people who spent the holiday alone. Some have been estranged from their families for years for various reasons. Others have no living relatives. 

Will hearts of thanks continue in our daily lives? I surely hope so. There's so much to be thankful for. There are people around the world who wish to have what we have: the freedom to worship and live and enjoy life. Let us not complain about what we don't have. Be grateful for the things you do have.
