“Open and Affirming” (ONA) is a designation for congregations, ministries, and other bodies, most notably within the United Church of Christ, that publicly pledge to welcome and include individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions in full participation and ministry. These communities make a public covenant of welcome and hospitality for LGBTQ+ people and others who have historically been excluded or marginalized.” Google AI.
Some 25+ years ago my wife chaired an ONA committee (She supported) that voted this down even though at the time it was understood that it was only about Gay and Lesbians! There was no awareness of the other gender folks and had there been there would have never been a committee either. It reminds me of the do-gooders who were advocating on behalf of the Anti-Saloon League which the majority of drinkers had no problem with but became a much bigger issue when it turned into a total booze ban! That was Dumb and today’s transgender is dumber.
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
