Our final afternoon presentation for #OUTREACH2021, the LGBTQ Catholic Ministry Conference, is "Ministering to Families with LGBTQ Families," with J.R. Zerkowski of Fortunate Families and Kathy Farrell of Fortunate & Faithful Families of Atlanta. @FortunateFamily 
How did you get involved in this ministry?
For JR, it was, in part, the transformative effect of the Pulse Nightclub Massacre.
For Kathy it was about asking "How to love your child as you know that they should be loved?" "Do we have to choose between my child and the church?"

Kathy talks about the "fabulous" support of Wilton Gregory, the former Archbishop of Atlanta and now Cardinal Gregory @WashArchbishop
Kathy Farrell: "We have grandparents who love their LGBTQ grandchildren and stand in the place of parents who cannot do that yet."
JR Zerkowski: "If we truly believe that everyone is family, we have to acknowledge who is *in* the family."
JR Zerkowski: "My hope is in God and in the Spirit!"
