The Ginkgo leaf is a powerful symbol representing hope, resilience, longevity, and peace. It is also associated with vitality, harmony, and a connection to nature, particularly in Asian cultures where it is considered sacred.
The LGBTQ+ community has long been tutored in resilience from the micro-aggressions of a too often hostile culture. Reclaiming our rightful place of children of the Divine Imagination is one of the missions of "One In Love LGBTQ+ Ministry."
