SOUNDbite... Rev. Dr. Cindi Love

Here's a SOUNDbite from the Stained Glass Rainbows interview with the Rev. Dr. Cindi Love of the Metropolitan Community Church...



Kent - “You’re familiar with GodHatesFags.com?”


Cindi - “Oh, yes! They write me regularly.”


Kent - “I’m sure they do.” (laughter)


Cindi - “They particularly hate me.”


Kent - “You get lovely emails from them, probably... If (Fred) Phelps were here, what would you say to Phelps?”


Cindi - “Oh, wow... I hope I would say. If he would allow me to say, I hope I would say ‘You and I actually believe in the same God and the same Jesus. And when I get to heaven, I hope I get there ahead of you so I can hug you when you come in.’ I hope that’s what I could say...”

SOUNDbite... Jonathan Ervin

Here's a SOUNDbite from the Stained Glass Rainbows interview with Jonathan Ervin...


"AIDS has become one of the greatest blessings in my life. And people are like, 'Woah, how in the world can you say that?' And I can say it because it's brought me into a relationship with God the Father that I've only read about in a book." - Jonathan Ervin

gayNEWS: Lesbian-Raised Zach Wahls Speaks About Family

Mariana Bell, one of the talented musicians who submitted music for the Stained Glass Rainbows Music Quest (and survived Round One of the cuts) posted a link on her Facebook account to this video.

Zach Wahls, is a University of Iowa student who spoke about being raised by lesbians during a public forum on House Joint Resolution 6 in the Iowa House of Representatives. Wahls opposed House Joint Resolution 6 which ultimately passed the Iowa House on February 1st, 2011.

UPDATE: This resolution proposed a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in Iowa. After being passed in the House it went to the Iowa Senate and is expected to remain active through the current legislative session. Same-sex marriage became legal in Iowa on April 3rd, 2009 and remains so as of this posting (1 DEC 2011).



During the making of Stained Glass Rainbows, I've interviewed many people that are for same-sex marriage and many people who are against it. Some consider it a states rights issue, while others want the battle taken up on the national stage. What do you say? Pro/Con? State/Federal? Marriage/Civil Union?
