I offered a blessing at the Marysville Pride Fest on June 8. I concluded my remarks with these Queer Beatitudes, noting the particular blessedness LGBTQIA+ folk bring in to the world.
‘Blessed are the lesbians, for theirs is the feminine divine
‘Blessed are those who are gay, for they have found who they are
‘Blessed are the bisexual and the pansexual, for they have embraced the diversity of creation
‘Blessed are the transgender, for they have experienced transformation
‘Blessed are the queers, for they have defied the limitations of what is called normal
‘Blessed are the intersex, for they bear unique dignity and divine worth
‘Blessed are the asexual, for they have found internal joy
‘Blessed are the polyamorous, for they have loved broadly
‘Blessed are you when you show up as your full, authentic self. For when you show up and shine you make space for others to show up in their authenticity.
