Will Joel Osteen Meet With Lezzie Moms?
The Soulforces are strong with these ones...

Maverick preacherman Jay Bakker is the pastor of Revolution Church NYC. He is also Tammy Faye's son. (God Bless her soul.) He's also pretty much a total badass, and he and lesbian mom Kim Beggs are walking right into Joel Osteen's Six Flags Over Jesus (aka Lakewood megachurch in Houston – trailed by a few reporters, perhaps?) in hopes of arranging a peaceful chat and breaking of bread with some real-life Christian queer families, some lesbian mothers on Mother's Day, for example.
It's part of Soulforce's American Family Outing, a nationwide effort to put names, and stories, and that mother-child love right in the faces of some of the nation's most influential evangelicals. Local families are looking for sponsors to help with this mission.
So, Joel. What's it gonna be?
