Coming out happens once and then keeps happening: at a new job, a new congregation, a family table, a bathroom mirror. Each time a person lets the truest thing about themselves take up room in the world it takes courage. This Sunday we celebrate that courage. We also honor the courage of those who stay in, who guard their truth carefully to keep themselves safe and carry it faithfully until safer times arrive. Both paths are brave, and both belong here. We will celebrate with a glitter blessing, a sparkling reminder that every one of us arrives already luminous. Come as you are, and bring someone who needs to hear it.
