Today, 25 students at Princeton Theological Seminary are wearing the “gay? fine by me” t-shirts. Covenant Network Fellowship is handing out the shirts, and we are hoping to order a couple hundred more this fall to give to students. We’re hoping that these shirts, along with other activities put together by Covenant Network Fellowship and BGLASS (Bisexuals, Gays, Lesbians And Straight-Supporters), would let students know that we are trying to create a safe environment for LGBT students here at PTS.
UPDATE: It’s been a good day so far – I’ve had numerous people come up to me and ask about the shirt and tell me that they either liked it or that they wanted one. So that’s been great and definitely an encouraging thing. On a “publicity” note, Al Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary apparently saw this post (or the person who writes his blog saw it) and blogged about it here with his post, “Gay? Fine by them.” I guess I’m flattered that Al would take the time to comment on a blog by a seminary student, just as long as he remembers to read the Disclaimer on the blog that says my views do not represent the views of Princeton Theological Seminary. Once again, very interesting to see what posts get picked up by different people.
