***If you are interested in joining the I’m Sorry Campaign at the 2013 Chicago Pride Parade on June 30, please email Kevin Harris at: Kevin@themarinfoundation.org
In June 2012 the popular social web content site BuzzFeed named the I’m Sorry Campaign as the #1 Picture That Will Restore Your Faith In Humanity.
The “I’m Sorry” Campaign is an effort to apologize to the LGBT community for the ways Christians have caused harm and to show our commitment to making things better in tangible ways.
| One small idea of sincerity turned into over 13 million views on Reddit and BuzzFeed; over 5 million ‘Likes’ and 2 million ‘Shares’ on Facebook; over 3 million page views on our blogs; over 2 million tweets; and hundreds of thousands blog reposts and comments since. |  |
Here are the posts that started it all:
