I enclose and prioritize this comment (and article by John Wright) for an important reason - and it partially relates to the recent tragic events at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida:
Even though you and I may not agree with him, in a strange way, Schwab echoes, what can be, for some, disturbing conflicts to be found within on a range of different stressful, sometimes (psychologically) painful issues, and, more importantly, how we respond to them.
I am pleased that Jeremy Schwab has, at the very least, found some solace from internal conflict and tribulations, in his faith.
Now that I have dispensed with the critics (of whom there are many worldwide) who agree with Jeremy, I would like to give friends of the
LGBT Community some background information to the history of Gay Pride Month.
Rather than re-invent the wheel with a personal blog, I enclose existing references which summarise events in detail.
