It can be a challenge but also a celebration. A celebration that makes you want to dance. But, for many of us, the moment we come out, we find ourselves trying to fit in. Fit in within our own community. We hit the bars, hang out at the clubs and before we know it we find ourselves feeling alone and often times in the depths of depression and despair.\r\nNow imagine finding a safe, inclusive space of celebration. One that combines spirituality, dance, and a positive vibe in our LGBT community. While it might seem rare to find something along these lines, it\u2019s now coming to life as a new burst of energy with a hip vibe known as Faith Lift Party produced by Christopher Logan and Sam Coffie.
