Yesterday was truly a special moment not only for my family and me but for our entire Greek Orthodox Church. My brother @evbousis and @peter_dundas became the first openly gay couple to hold a baptism for their children, my godson Alexios and niece Eleni. Thank you to our great spiritual leader, his Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, for christening the babies and not turning away any child or member of our faith. This is the progress and leadership we need in our church, where no person should ever be denied our Lord because of what they are, how they choose to live their lives, and who they love. Thank you again to EV and Peter for bestowing such an honor in asking me to baptize Alexios and become his godfather. This will forever be a moment I’ll cherish and a commitment I’ll always hold to guide, love, and protect him every step of the way. And finally, none of this would have ever happened without the incredible support, love, and determination of my wonderful parents.
