Pride In The Name Of Love

By
6/25/2023

I had the honor to experience the Pride Parade in Tel Aviv, Israel.

To say the least, It was a monumental moment for myself and the people I was with. I can’t begin to wrap my head around the years of suffering of so many due to the belief in a religion that does not see ALL people as equal. If this can be figured out here, why not everywhere else

To literally be in the Holy Land, and to experience a Pride Parade was exactly the kind of God I believe in, a God that loves all.

A welcoming, kind, and loving God.

You felt that walking through the streets of Tel Aviv. It was a magical moment to be there, you felt the love oozing from the streets and wafting in the air of the Mediterranean.

You’ll feel it today in Chicago, and you’ll see a nod to the Windy City in the video below.

Love.
