Recently, I was reminded of the great Greek classic The Odyssey written by Homer. Homer also penned The Iliad which chronicles the ten years spanning the Trojan War. The Odyssey is the sequel which chronicles the hero Odysseus’ ten-year journey home. In this particular poem, we encounter a sad scene when Odysseus travels to the Underworld.
Dear, dear, dear gay community: you don’t need the right to get married. You already had it. You need deliverance. All of the love, identity, and affirmation that you are seeking can only ever be found in God Almighty. And the good news is, He is already seeking you!
