We fly our rainbow flag for the LGBTQ+ children and teens in our community. We fly it so that the kids who walk or drive past our home know that we love them. We see them.
We fly our flag for these precious children’s parents. We fly the pride flag so that after their child musters all of their courage and bravery and comes out to them, those parents know that they have friends they can reach out to.
We fly this beautiful rainbow flag so that one child sees it, that one teen who is sure that there is no place for them in our community or in their family or in their congregation absolutely knows they always have a place next to us.
Our flag is for that one LGBTQ+ person who is certain there is no place for them in this life. It is for the one child who isn’t sure they can live for one more day.
Please join our family and show the LGBTQ+ children, youth and adults in your neighborhood and family that they are loved and welcome.
It actually matters. It actually can help to save a life.
Marion McClellan, Payson
