This post is inspired bya conversation I had with my wife the other day…
My wife works directly with at least three gays. At another location in town, there is at least one other whom we (my wife and I) have significant contact with. I have several friends who are either gay or bi-sexual. Living in Oregon for some time, I have had a tremendous amount of contact with the LGBT community – sometimes by choice, but usually because our paths just happen to cross. My wife works for a company that – in my experience – has a rather high number of gay employees – it’s just the nature of the company. I tend to spend a lot of time at various locations of this company. We are currently living in an area that is not very hospitable to the gay community…that really bothers us.
Recently, a co-worker ask my wife what it was that I was in school for. When she replied that I was in seminary with plans to become an ordained minister, he was taken aback. He asked, “So you’re pretty conservative then?”
