Amen, Chaplain Black!

The US Senate ever since 1789 has started their session with a prayer before they commence with their regular legislative partisan bickering.

Senate Chaplain Barry Black had a spiritual message for the assembled lawmakers the day after the government was shut down that I'm definitely down with.

The best part about it was the nekulturny GOP conservafools couldn't say jack or interrupt him like they did the last Black man that stood in front of them and said something their vanillacentric privileged behinds didn't like.

Oh yeah, that was their House colleagues.  My bad.  

Roll that beautiful video footage and enjoy.

Prayer For TDOR

Heavenly Father,

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance.  We humbly ask that you lift up the people who are mourning the loss of a friend, a loved one, or a family member to anti-trans violence on this day.  Give us the strength and determination to make this world better than when we first encountered it for your trans children.  

Help society, our own trans people, our rainbow community and the world to see that transpeople are part of the diverse mosaic of human life.  

Continue to lift us transpeople up in love and truth and help us realize that we are your beautifully made children. Give us the strength to make it through this day and every other subsequent one that we are blessed with and never forget the people who died just for being their true selves.

Bless our friends and those inside and outside our community who curse us.  Move their hearts so that justice and peace will reign and we can live the lives and the exalted name that you promised us we would have if we kept your commandments.   

Give us the fortitude and strength to create a better world for your transgender children and all who dwell in it.

We ask this in Jesus' name,  Amen.
