As many problems as I've had with religion (especially Christianity), I will say that when I heard about Revolution NYC - the church led by Jay Bakker (yes, Jim and Tammy Faye's son), I thought it sounded like a good alternative.
When I was listening to one of the sermons via iPod, I loved that the minister (Marc Brown for this one) started the sermon with "I hope you don't mind that I'm drinking a beer...". I just thought, "I Love You!"
Sure, I've tried an all-gay church (MCC), but it felt a bit exclusionary (if that's even a word) - it was never said, it just felt that way. I like that Revolution is gay-affirming (including a gay pastor) and welcoming of so many different backgrounds and opinions. Also, they support equal rights - which is also quite awesome.
And the icon? A t-shirt sold by Revolution. :-D
