Allies, Too

This is a little late now but still worth posting about. Last week the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) advocates with the Gay-Straight Alliance had their annual "Allies Week"...

It was a week to promote peace within the school for a safer school environment. "The national week was launched last year to create allies to put an end to anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools."

Allies, Too was created this year not to oppose Allies Week but to help promote a safer school environment with a Christian twist.

The "Allies, Too" campaign gives Christians whose beliefs often conflict with the policies of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network the opportunity to support a safer school environment without compromising their beliefs.

"Still, the fact that our beliefs are different doesn't mean we can't work together for safer schools for everyone," said a statement by Exodus Youth. "So, Exodus Youth is creating the ‘Allies, Too’ campaign, in which Christian students can voice their support for safer schools without compromising their faith in God’s Word!"

Exodus Youth provides resources to help young people questioning their sexual identity and struggling with same-sex attraction find life and healing in Christ. Exodus International is considered the largest Christian referral and information network dealing with homosexual issues in the world.

As I said on my Love Won Out post there is no reason why hate has to enter the mix. This is a very peaceful way of showing Christian love and unity and a way to reach out to those who need God. Bravo, kids!
