It's Not Just My Church!

Wanted to acknowledge that besides people from my church--past or present--there have been local business people who have been involved in the gay rights project, also. [Some local ones and some further away!] Am still learning more about them, myself; and some had a direct connection to me earlier, although not all of them did. *** Heard a story from the early 1970s that someone had an idea for different parties involved--including police--to compete with each other!? And it may have been helpful to get things going? But there has been a point where I've said it should be time to cooperate and not to compete!? However, if people haven't all been directly connected with each other it's been hard for them to know everything that was going on, I guess! Maybe we'll get there, one of these days? Some of the "storylines" may have been competing with others?--Haven't quite figured it all out yet!?
