Love Notes #1

I write this love note to any and all Trans youth. Please know that I love you just the way you are. You are beautiful! I want you to know that however you choose to live your life and express your full identity, you are a blessing to the world. I will do all in my power to help you live your life fully in this world without fear of how you will be treated when you do so. The God whom I worship made you as you are, loves you as you are, and delights in the joy you take in just being you.

Thank you for being you! The world needs you just as God made you. I love you!

Shalom,

Rev. Dr. John C. Dorhauer
