We intend to march again in Mardi Gras parade 2010 with our apology as this we believe will continue to facilitate reconciliation, community and understanding. Our reasons to march again

- We believe that many people in the GLBTQ community still feel

rejected, shunned and even hated by the Church.

- There remains a pervasive fear, even phobia amongst many in our

Churches of LGBT people.

- We believe there has been a lack of proactive relationship by

Christian leadership to the LGBT community in representing the message and

person of Jesus.

- We have a burden of compassion for the GLBTQ community to know the

Real Jesus.
