Wednesday Night LBGT Classes

I'm teaching a small group with Kennetha at University UMC during our Wednesday nights UUM-C-U-on Wednesdays program. We're watching bits of "For the Bible Tells Me So" and discussing LBGT issues in the church, as well as looking at the anti-homophobia resolution General Conference passed in 2008 and the language regarding homosexuality in our Church's Book of Discipline. Last night we had nearly 15 persons present, which is a decent number, especially for the first night. We watched two of the stories from the film and then just did a general talk. I'm excited for next week because we're going to be discussing heterosexism and, instead of watching some film segments, we'll read the resolution and I'll lecture a bit about gender theory! Woohoo!
