Phobic Christians, While You've Been Bothering LGBTQ People...

Dear Phobic Christian, I see how angry you are, how consumed with hatred you are; how relentless, myopic, and bitter you’ve become. I see how addled with fears and false stories your religion has left you. It grieves me deeply to see you doing what you’re doing, what you’ve been doing for so long—and what… Continue Reading Phobic Christians, While You’ve Been Bothering LGBTQ People…
