We had the honor to speak with Rev. Troy Perry who is a gay rights activist, and founder of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC). MCC started with 12 people in Perry’s home and has grown to have a presence in 37 countries with 222 affiliated churches. Rev. Perry who has been invited to the white house 5 times, talks to us about organizing the first pride in Los Angeles. He shares how he used prayer and friendship to empower him to fight towards LGBTQ equality for all these years. https://www.mccchurch.org/overview/history-of-mcc/ Don't forget to sink your teeth into: www.theforbiddenapplepodcast.com
