One of the challenges of being a minority in predominantly white Evangelical spaces is that our voices often aren’t considered when decisions are made about who gets honored. Many of us have been hurt by the divisive rhetoric and actions of people like Charlie Kirk, yet we’re expected to overlook it simply because he claims faith in Christ.

What are we supposed to do when the very words and behavior that harmed us are dismissed as if they don’t matter? We’re told not to speak up, but I can’t ignore the hypocrisy: honoring Charlie Kirk while a man like Jimmy Carter, an undeniably devout Christian with a life of service, is criticized on the very day he passed away.

The same people defending Kirk weren’t quick to defend Carter, and that double standard says a lot. For minorities in these spaces, it’s painful. Our concerns about harmful rhetoric are minimized, our voices unheard. We can point to example after example of what he uttered, but we're told in more ways than one, "your voice doesn't matter".
