 Should I donate to an evangelical organiztion in hopes of supporting LGBT youth? As the daughter of minister, I learned first-hand the challenges of bringing up your parents to be gay-friendly. On YouTube recently, I saw an ad for Grace Prayer Community, what looks like a web site for Christian charismatics (also known as "charismaniacs"). It's the kind of site my parents would totally love. So I posted a prayer request to their web site. Here's the question... Should I also give a $9 donation so they send my request out to thousands of their members by e-mail? After all, some of their kids are probably queer needing support. I'd love your feedback. I wrote... "Jesus said, "love thy neighbour." That includes people of all cultures, ages, colurs, genders, and sexual orientations. I pray to save lives of gay and LGBT youth who have been rejected and bullied by their schoolmates, families, and/or religions. So many are considering suicide. So many already have taken their lives, like my cousin Ted. I pray they and their families and friends all find helpful resources such as "You make it Better with Just a Click" or OUTstanding Lives Network, or Befrienders.org ( www.befrienders.org) and learn to love themselves, as they are. Thanks! YOU make a difference." Should I do a $9 donation for the inclusion in the e-mail for Grace Prayer Community? Also, do you think we should create a team of speakers to give talks in churches, synagogues, mosques, etc (as well as the presentations in high schools and workplaces)? I'd love your feedback.
