After my earlier post Roster of Hate, about prominent fundevangelicals who attacked the supreme court ruling on same sex marriage, it occurred to me that there are also many prominent Christians who have expressed love and support, celebrating the victory. So here is my roster of LOVE – gay Christians and straight allies who celebrated the victory for LGBT people. Many of these people have positively impacted me (and I’m sure many others) through their writing and activism. There are MANY more, but I’ve just chosen a few that come to mind.
- Matthew Vines, author of God and the Gay Christian and founder of The Reformation Project
- Susan Cottrell, blogger at Freed Hearts
- Danny Cortez, pastor and father of a gay son
- Justin Massey, student, blogger, and activist
- Brandon Robertson, progressive Christian writer, activist, and speaker
- Randy Thomas, artist, writer, and ex-ex-gay former vice-president of Exodus International
- Justin Lee, blogger, author of Torn: Rescuing the Gospel from the Gays-vs-Christians Debate, and executive director of The Gay Christian Network
- David Gushee, a leading ethicist, Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics and author
- Benjamin Corey, blogger at Formerly Fundie
- Rachel Held Evans, speaker, blogger, and best-selling author

No matter how you feel about people of religion or faith, or about either one themselves, this shows that some have risen above hate to embrace low. That is a great thing and should be celebrated. Hugs

Thanks Jim. I do hope to get back to blogging sometime soon. As with many things in life, writing seems to come and go in seasons.
