My God is Not a Bully! campaign continues to proclaim a message of Love

December 3, 2015 — “My God is Not a Bully!” 1.0 began during Pride month in 2013. Thirty messages, one for each day in Pride Month, from diverse voices, faith traditions and experiences told powerful and personal stories of reconciliation and hope. These stories offered real world answers to these questions: How have you reconciled your spirituality with your gender expression and/or sexuality? How did you come to know LGBTQ people are a sacred gift?

Collaborative partners picked up the video stories and shared with tens of thousands of people from around the world. During the process of taping, the need for a next chapter became apparent. Many who shared their story commented on the powerful experience it was to talk about, perhaps for the first time, their journey to reconciling their sexual orientation/gender expression with their spirituality. The harm done by Church doctrine and family was losing its grip.

“My God is Not a Bully!” 2.0 is ready to carry this proud heritage with a new website, https://www.mygodisnotabully.com, for you to share your story, by a 5-minute video or 500-word typed document. We are providing this space and invite the world, LGBTQQI folks in particular, to tell their stories of how they accepted themselves as spiritual people, worthy of Love and Life guided by the very same questions outlined above.

We need these messages of love and acceptance out in the world.
