#Happy #pride , a very happy #pridemonth to all!
Just make a happy pride year of it!
And be happy - there is just no better way to make your opponents mad
Rights were never claimed by begging but by fighting
And they can be taken from you, if you are not ready for the fight
The poem in the picture refers to #MartinNiemoller 's poem, he was in the #resistance against #fascism part of the #ConfessingChurch
Fight for your rights!
I wish all the best live & the best allies we all can imagine
New post on my blog, Walking Thoughts: "Amerika?"
"In what respect, if at all or perhaps thoroughly, is America today becoming Amerika? My understanding of that word is my own, although Franz Kafka’s now famous use of it is in the back of my mind...The absurdity of it all! Is Amerika a word, perhaps the word, for our times?"

Is Amerika our future, then, emerging now right before our very eyes? And, if so, has the time arrived for American Christians to find ways to be a Confessing Church, the way Dietrich Bonhoeffer and many other believers did in the Germany of the nineteen-thirties-and-forties of the last century?
<<He pointed to how a lot of issues are “packaged in terms of existential threat,” leading to the belief among everyone, not just evangelical Christians, that “desperate times call for desperate measures.”>>
How #Fascism messages. In #Nazi Germany they had to co-opt the Lutheran church. The response was the Barmen Declaration & the #ConfessingChurch
Today, there is the #Episcopalians & the Way of Love #AllAreWelcome
