Looking back at Pride Month, a holy time where all can find acceptance

-Rev. Roland Stringfellow Op-ed contributor

Coming out the the High Holy Season of Pride Month, I am grateful we were able to celebrate in peace, and without major incident.

I do not flippantly refer to Pride as “high” and “holy,” because I do indeed believe coming out of the closet is a spiritual experience.

Coming out as your authentic self is an act of embracing truth and a journey of self-discovery – becoming the person you are meant to be. There comes a time when telling and living a lie no longer serves us.
