Rally Supports LGBTQ Pride
A group rallied in front of Sullivan Church of God June 14 in support of Chierstan Burns who served as a youth leader there until she was dismissed for coming out as bisexual.
June 28 is the 50th anniversary of LGBTQ traditions. June is Lesbian,Gay Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride month. Burns posting was in honor of the observation and prompted the church’s action when it caught the attention of the church’s pastor.
On June 11 the Church’s board of elders, it’s pastor, and other church leaders held a meeting, requesting Burns resignation over the posts. She refused, but was told she could no longer serve as the church’s youth leader.
The peaceful group stood in support of Burns and the sex based discrimination while services were conducted Sunday
