A Protest and a Party
Hannah Roberts Villnave
People sometimes ask: Is Pride a protest or a party?
And the answer is of course, Yes!
And why not?
Why not rejoice as we resist
Dance as we demand change
Celebrate as we create community that delights in all of who we are?
So bring all of that with you this morning.Bring your policy demands
Bring your glitter
Bring your supreme court broken heart
Bring your rainbow socks
Bring the emptiness you feel for our siblings gone too soon.
Bring your Gloria Estefan remix
Bring your tender hope for change
Bring your most garish eyeshadow
Bring your spirit, tattered and battered by a world that seems insistent on choosing fear
and hate.
Gather up all these things and bring them here
To a place where we don’t have to shoulder these burdens
Or celebrate these joys alone.
Come, let us worship together.
