THE WEDDING AT CANA

Avery: Throughout history transgender people have had so much to offer societies. In a lot of cultures, transgender folks are the spiritual leaders.

Lauren: Yeah, they’re closer to God because they’re -

Avery: They're closer to God, because they've seen both sides. And in fact, that picture right there on the right is the wedding at Cana, and it's the male and female form of Jesus. 

Lauren: That's beautiful. Where'd you get that? 

Avery: There was a homeless woman in Toledo, when Cecillia had a church in Toledo, and this homeless woman, she had a master's degree, but she was mentally ill. She lived out of her van. She was also extremely paranoid schizophrenic. She had this watercolor and she asked Cecillia to keep it at the church for her until she returned, because she was so afraid somebody was going to break into her van and get it.

(the watercolor was returned to the woman and Avery framed a copy of it)
