Sometimes what looks like compromise is not compromise at all. Sometimes it's the hard choice to be a constant and a light in a shady and unstable environment. And sometimes it means being the one willing to be humbled and be wrong and change and grow in a stuck and calcified culture. I remember, after a few years working within a religious institution and experiencing the disillusionment that often associated the end of an institutional season, I started to believe that the most courageous and just thing to do when corruption or institutional failure reared its ugly head, was to leave; to walk away from relationships and organizations and systems I felt were broken or wrong. And sometimes that's true; sometimes saying “I can't be here if things are going to be this way,” is the best and right and most fruitful move. But sometimes it's not.I was deeply moved by artist Propaganda's recent reflection about sitting at the table with institutional power and remaining in relationship to an organization rife with leadership issues and flaws and even injustices of its own. His reflection is called “I Did A Difficult Thing Yesterday” and you can read it on his website right now. There's a lot to chew on in the piece but the thing that stood out to me was the complexity of his perspective given the complexity of the situation (that rather than simple emotions and an oversimplifying of the circumstances). The institutionalization of vision and mission is, I would suggest, inevitable. In order to find ways to sustain our patterns of care and justice, we create culture and set guidelines, organize efforts, and, over time, those all get wrapped up and we name it. Then things can get … tricky. In fact, they almost always do and when that happens, just as when a movement starts, people have different roles. Some will need to leave so that their critique and perspective are heard from the outside of the culture or institution. And some will need to stay because (in part) their most powerful position is still within the org and (in part) that's where their heart is. And staying can mean feeling an impossible amount of pain and pressure. I remember Andrew Marin writing, in his 2009 book “Love is an Orientation,” that being a bridge means being walked on from both sides. How much more problematic it is to be a connection point between many opinions, agendas, and needs that come with institutional life. Yes, sometimes the right thing to do, is to resign one's position and move on, voicing a loving and righteous response on the way out. And sometimes it's being the person who stays in the busted up space, feeling the tension of the thousand directional pressures and unanswerable questions while hoping and working for what can seem like the impossible change to come; the person being asked to answer would be or wanna be radicals who want to burn down every impure thing and slow-movers who don't know the difference between criticism and complaining. Many of my guests have been women and men who have been in and integral to their chosen cultures for years and even decades. For many of them, the hardest part of their vocational life has been the choice and effort to simply stay through “thick and thin” as it were. It doesn't come with the electricity of the radical's role or the badge of honor often awarded to the stalwart defender of a culture's reputation.  Hopefully, it comes with a quieter assurance that they're not just doing the right thing in the right place at the right time but they are the right person for that place.

In June, which is Pride Month, we want to acknowledge and work against the difficulties and discrimination faced by those in the queer community, which can make someone more vulnerable to trafficking. It's ok to disagree with people, but no matter if or how we disagree, it's important to make sure everyone is safe. That's why it's important to better understand what LGBTQ2ia+ individuals face, so we can do that … so we can stop trafficking however it happens. Forty percent of homeless youth identify as LGBTQ+ and 46 percent of them ran away due to family rejection. LGBTQ+ youth are 7.4 times more likely to experience acts of sexual violence than their non-LGBTQ+ peers. And providers for youth report that many LGBTQ+ youth prefer to engage in sexual acts in exchange for a place to stay rather than risk experiencing the abuse and potential violence they sometimes face in youth shelters and foster care. Imagine feeling that putting yourself in that position is better than what could be faced in a place that is supposed to support you, but hasn't in the past or has hurt your friends. Hear from Wade Arvizu, an anti-trafficking subject matter expert, author and speaker about the realities faced by people in the queer community and how we can each take action.Resources:Wade's books: www.kdroche.com/bookThe book recommended by Wade: “Love is an Orientation” by Andrew Marin https://www.amazon.com/Love-Orientation-Elevating-Conversation-Community/dp/0830836268“Ride with Pride: With changing times, LGBTQ truckers move more confidently in spite of lingering harassment”: https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/14896726/ride-with-pride-with-changing-times-lgbtq-truckers-move-more-confidently-in-spite-of-lingering-harassmentThe National Human Trafficking Hotline information and resources https://polarisproject.org/lgbtq-communities-and-human-trafficking/How to better understand and connect with LGBTQIA loved ones. https://lgbtqia.ucdavis.edu/educated"Know Your Rights" section to help LGBTQIA people experiencing discrimination https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/lgbtq-rights/

Andrew Marin grew up in a conservative church, and much to his surprise developed a calling and passion to build bridges between the Church and the LGBTQ community. So he moved into a gay part of town, and spent all his time getting to know people in gay bars. Ss you can imagine, there's plenty for us to learn from the remarkable journey he's been on.  If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter If you're looking for other people to share this journey with, then register on our Listener Map, and see if any other nomads are in your area.  Nomad can only keep going because a small group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills. If you want to join them, you can make regular donations at Patreon or a one-off or regular donation through PayPal, the links to which you can find on our support page. As a thank you, you'll have access to Nomad Book Club, our online community The Beloved Listener Lounge, and Nomad Devotionals, where we're attempting to reconstruct worship through a creative mix of songs, music, readings, prayers and guest reflections.
