Pride Houston

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

    Yesterday, I watched my first pride parade, that was taking place in Houston. It was so great to see the people / community of Houston gather to celebrate inclusion and diversity, regardless of how one identifies through gender, or sexual expression. The vibrancy, colourful displays made me think that pride is for everyone, not only those who identify as an LGBTQ person. It is an opportunity for all people and organizations, who want to share the message of inclusion, and also a celebration of love. I was also pleased to see faith-based organizations send a message from God. God Is Love.

     With the celebrations and showcase of inclusion, there is always more that a city, community, and nation can do. I began to connect with the recent proposal to create a detention centre in Houston. While I myself again do not like the idea of detaining children, I would rather see them cared for through service providers and professionals, in a facility that should probably be named differently. And with that said - while the larger debate is about the separation of children, from families, we have to remember that it is children alone who also arrive at the border. What about these children who have no one to care for them? If God is Love, then how would God react to the recent border crisis?
