Music played a healing role for many Anglicans after an amendment to the marriage canon that would have recognized same-sex marriage failed to pass at General Synod 2019.
After the vote in Vancouver, queer youth delegates sang a round affirming the need to “love each other, love yourself and love your God” and were joined in song by many supporters. The next day, they sang the same round in protest outside Christ Church Cathedral, where the primatial election took place.
Now a new resource offers further potential for music as a source of affirmation and inclusion. On July 16, three days after the vote at General Synod, the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada released a new hymn collection, Songs for the Holy Other: Hymns Affirming the LGBTQIA2S+ Community.
Produced by a volunteer committee from the Hymn Society, an ecumenical non-profit association that seeks to promote congregational singing, Songs for the Holy Other includes almost 50 “queer hymns” by and for individuals who identify with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.
The collection is available for download at the Hymn Society website. Individuals and congregations can use the resource free for 60 days, after which they are asked to use One License or Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI), or to contact individual copyright holders.
Sydney Brouillard-Coyle, music director at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Essex, Ont., and a current music student who identifies as gender-non-conforming, queer and asexual, praised the release of Songs for the Holy Other.
“I definitely think it was very much needed for them to release it so soon after General Synod,” Brouillard-Coyle says. “Just looking through the music and the lyrics, it’s an amazing resource for music directors and for priests who are looking for hymns that are affirming for the LGBT community.”

It says LOVE, not SODOMIZE.
It’s not a hymnal, the preferred pronoun is “Xymnal”
Self-love is NEVER encouraged in scripture. In fact, scriptures tell us that self-love is the problematic default, and that we ALREADY think too highly of ourselves. That is the ancient problem that caused Lucifer to rebel and take a third of all angels with him.
All of this... stuff... is so blasphemous. And they’re leading these deceived people straight to hell.

Love your God?
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22
“If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.” Leviticus chapter 20 verse 13
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was met.” Romans 1:26-27
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Rather than go through all the verses that proclaim homosexuality as a sin, I will list some others if you wish to:
Matthew 19:3, Matthew 8:5–13, Luke 7:1–10, and Matthew 19:12.
I just don’t think the LGBT..... whatever has the support of God.
And each time they say they are forgiven by God for their sins, how many times do they need to be forgiven when they have no intention of stopping the behavior thus making it a blasphemy? Blasphemy definition as per Webster is - the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God.
Do they actually think God, who created the universes along with our world and us, is so weak minded God would forget that they were already forgiven prior? I somehow think they are the weak minded ones. (or just plain evil)

Sin is their god. They worship it and revel in it. They demand others (straights and actual Christians) worship them and their sin. Nothing else matters.
La la la la la la live for todayyyyyy
In the Navy, you can polish up the brass!

Intersex, asexual, two spirit.
The “2”, or perhaps the “2S” is for “two spirits” for Native Americans. It’s getting a bit ridiculous.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:28, KJV
