Jewish LGBTQ at GLOE, Washington DCJCC: Strength Through Community and It Gets Better

[jbkm22]

:) This video made me think to come back to the Jewish faith, in the worst moment of my life I let people to step on me and I let people to strip me from my dignity and even my faith. Everything *GOT* better but always can be even more better! Toda Raba!

If you are GLBT (or Questioning) & not yet part of the GLBTQ community, do as I & so many others did. Seek out or create your own community, either through groups like this one (GLOE in DC) or others like it. You might want to look into a gay/straight alliance near you, any of many sites on the Web like PFLAG, HRC, SMYAL, Federal GLOBE, IntegrityUSA, DignityUSA, or your town's gay & lesbian center/hotline/switchboard or support centers such as Whitman Walker Clinic in DC or GMHC in NYC,

Thanks to all who helped make this video. Many of you are my personal friends. ALL of you, even those I don't know personally, are my friends because of the Jewish faith & love of GLBT life we share.

As the video says, we are grateful for living to see this day. We recall how many who did not. We are ready & willing to help those who need to hear that "it gets better." It not only gets better; for me and many I know, it gets awesome!

How wonderful this is. Thank you for your efforts, the love in your hearts, your courage to express that love, and of course...thank you for the "light".

I love you all.

I disagree, look at what happened to Greer Lankton. Displayed at the Mattress Factory like that is how I want to be treated. Who helped her? She reached out in America. It's always the same sad but true.

I loved this video! The regular return to the menorah was touching. It almost made me wish I was Jewish.

Although you don't speak for all Jewish communities, it is important that you have spoken up. Thx. Now we need more people in all religions to speak up and to keep speaking up. Religious dogma is perhaps the biggest source of homophobia and is used to justify the vilence.

Yashir Koach! not only does it get better, it does get fabulous!
