Hope is ready, indeed

From an anonymous source:

Hope is ready. Hope is ready to have the freedom to express themselves. Hope is ready to finally see the light at the end of tunnel. Hope is ready to be able to walk hand in hand with your same sex partner on campus. Hope is ready to go to sleep at night and not worried if you are going to lose your job because you came an ally the day before. Hope is ready to never hear from your pastor that homosexuality is a sin. Hope is ready to never live in a fear. Hope is ready to finally be able to come out of the closest without fearing the consequences. Hope is ready to have the rainbow flag flying next to the American flag in front of the campus. And finally hope is ready to accept that God made us this way, this is who we are, and that we can not change our orientation and identity--but Hope is ready to change.

This is might a far fetched dream to most people but we can make this a reality not only for Hope but for Christian colleges across the country.

We must never give up.

When you read this the first time it was just as moving as reading it now…
I don’t know what else to say besides I am hopeful that this will become realtiy-maybe not in two days, but in a year or so.
