Coming Out Strong

Hello folks, Welcome. You might already know, but we’re still setting up and working out the kinks around here. We’ll be up and running full blast soon with interesting posts from interesting people (maybe you).

Here is the blurb I wrote up so far for what this blog is all about:

Coming Out Strong is the blog of Brethren Mennonite Council for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (BMC) and is focused on the perspectives of youth and young adults who identify with the BMC community (Brethren or Mennonite related and lgbtqa).

For more about BMC, you should go to the mothership and look around a bit. Coming Out Strong is named after a video recently released by BMC. You can view most of the video online and you can also order dvd copies for $5 from the BMC office. For more on this, check out the Coming Out Strong video page.

More coming soon…

In the meantime, register for an account and start writing posts. Tell us a little about yourself and what you are passionate about. I’ll be starting my posting with a relevant piece or two that I’ve posted previously on another blog I frequent, young.anabaptistradicals.org.

Send any suggestions and questions to kaleidoscope@bmclgbt.org.
