Quakers condemn arrests of activists at meeting house โ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3x5j6g30ro โ this is just nuts.
#ClimateChange is a reality. We need to act. A group of youth organizing to raise awareness in a religious building is just so undemocratic.
Big day, #today
I'm officially a Member of the #ReligiousSocietyOfFriends AND some of us #LGBTQIA2S plus folk at my #FriendsMeeting got together to start planning a subcommittee for ourselves.
I also learned that I did not invent the term #QuakerQueernessCommittee - alas. I was really proud of coming up with that.
Have any of y'all started #LGBTQIA2S + groups at your #church (or other #religious groups)? If so, advice wanted please!
A few of us from my #FriendsMeeting are gonna do lunch after our Meeting on Sunday to discuss starting one, with the blessing of the Clerk.
So far, I have a notebook with some #queries and brainstorming & have reached out to FLGBTQ.org

My #FriendsMeeting is voting on my membership request this Sunday!
Meanwhile, when they ask about my #SplendaDaddy I describe him as an #Agnostic #Antitheist (if there is a God, he wants to smack Them like Sisko did Q).
This seems to make them want to meet him more ๐คฃ

Whelp, my #FriendsMeeting (like church, kinds, for #Quakers) has enough #LGBTQIA folk interested in my silly #QuakerQueernessCommittee to actually make something happen.
I have no idea what to do with this thing I'm starting.
I'm thinking we get a few people together & reach out to the 'Friends for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Concerns.'

Some are Elder GenX or older who are not comfortable with the word #queer, so I need to be mindful.

'bout 5 minutes 'till my #Quaker #ClearnessCommittee to discuss my membership request for my #FriendsMeeting.
I've doing a real good job at potlucks, and they seem to appreciate my ... punny & awkward sense of humor.
