Elton John is a big supporter of Pride events - he even wrote a love letter to his LGBT fans during Pride Week in 2017. He also once wrote a song which said "Sorry seems to be the hardest word". That might have been true once, but looking at these Christians in Chicago, it isn't any more.
Gaining acceptance from the Church has long been a struggle for members of the LGBT community, and for those who hold personal Christian beliefs, the struggle will have been even harder. That's why it makes your heart happy to see this picture - representatives of the Christian community in Chicago turning out for the pride parade to apologize in person, both for their own thoughts and deeds in the past, and those of the Church. This picture offers hope that no matter how old or how deep divisions between people run, they can still be healed and overcome.
