If you ever need a pick me up, this is what I listen to.

A little background, this is Marsha Stevens (Lesbian) and a Gay group (Heartsong) that I had the pleasure of seeing back in the 90's. Marsha turned the Southern Gospel industry into turmoil when she came out of the closet (you can search google for the stories), and the Group Heartsong was a group of Gay men with AIDS singing to raise money to help AIDS Patients (sadly most of them are no longer with us).

I know some of you are going to go Gospel, WTF? But before you judge all I ask is that you take a listen (it won't kill you). This music has gotten me out of many of ruts when it has come to LGBT issues.

Please enjoy.

And I'll return the favor (except that I can't give you a link to the actual music )

But - if you can find it, you would love:

Similar story on a smaller scale - a group of my friends who did a lot of ministry to people leaving this world (many with AIDS) - two of the choir members among them
