I saw you years ago in concert when you opened for Jars of Clay. I was BLOWN AWAY by your performance! You are an inspiration to me as well as millions of others. I too am a gay female and there are so many judgemental people in this world. But you have to be yourself and never let love pass you by. Hope you read this and respond!!!

Was trying to find an email address to send you a message, but I had no luck. I hope this gets to you.

I just discovered you as an artist and ran across the Larry King interview on Youtube. Watched all four videos. You, my dear, are an inspiration. I admire you for sticking up for your beliefs and for not appologizing for who you are. I’m not even going to comment on anything the pastor said, because it doesn’t deserve a response. Besides, it doesn’t do any good to focus on the negativity of his message.
You are a light. I am so thankful that you have a strong sense of who you are and that you’re not ashamed of it. I hope to one day be fully comfortable with who I am. You have helped. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Peace to you, sister in song,
Kate

I just found your site and watched the Larry King interview. I was really disappointed that we heard a lot of rhetoric from the pastors (none of which is new to any Christian) and you were not really given a chance to voice more about your understanding of how Christianity and homosexuality can coincide within a person.

I found it particularly disappointing that in all the rhetoric used by the pastors neither of them seemed to have any understanding of the “Theology of the Body” which has been so much in circulation since Pope John Paul II gave the foundation for it during his Wednesday addresses years ago. On the one hand, proponents of the Theology of the Body would still come to the conclusion that homosexuality is not part of the restoration of the person to the new life God intended, on the other hand it opens up the dialogue to something much deeper than simple commands of what “to do” or “not to” in Scripture. It really delves deeply into what God intended human relationships to be and how our bodies are an essential part to forming loving relationships. It might be a good source for a more solid rhetorical responses in the future (if they give you the chance to really talk!)

Thank you for your honesty & inspirational music!

As you will notice, it was inspired by you. Thought I would share.
