Annually we manage to indulge directly in something Jesus said not to do and feel particularly spiritual in the process. The moment you accept them you are immediately disqualified. It is a funny thing about badges given for humility. “Glitter is an inextricable element of queer history… We make ourselves fabulously conspicuous, giving offense to the arbiters of respectability that allow coercive power to flourish.” It should come as no surprise that “glitter ash” has inspired a flurry of negative responses.īut I am in favor of the glitter if it causes us to have a serious conversation about what we are doing when we mark our people on Ash Wednesday. It’s all over church social media this year: Parity, a faith-based LGBQT-focused organization based in New York City, is advocating the use of glitter instead of ashes this Ash Wednesday.
