Conversation should always be reciprocal. Over the last few months, I have created several blog entries dealing with issues and concerns on my mind towards the LGBT community. When I talk to my couples, I realize that there are many issues on their minds which are very worthwhile discussing. I would appreciate it very much if you, who are receiving this blog, would respond back to me with your personal concerns and issues. These can be of a political, social, health-oriented, emotional, etc. nature. Anything that interests you, would probably be of interest to others.
Perhaps you would like to email me personally, and I certainly will respond accordingly. For those who would rather remain anonymous, please rest assured your confidentiality will remain in highest regard. But, I am sure there are many issues which can be openly and frankly discussed between all parties to the benefit of everyone.
If you are hesitant because I am an ordained minister and pastoral counselor, please disregard this fear! Because my aim is to help in solving issues and building bridges – NOT to preach or convert to any philosophy or religion in any way whatsoever.
Many of you may not be members of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) http://www.hrc.org but may I suggest you take it into consideration to join as these people are the organization with the most power who have fought for equal rights and equality for the LGBT community. I am very proud to be a standing member of the Religion & Faith Program Coalition which welcomes each and everyone of you into the fold.
I do hope I hear from you soon. Have a blessed day.
Rev. Elisheva
