Look, I don’t really care what anyone’s opinions on drag shows are. There is no excuse for the threats of violence, veiled or otherwise. (And everyone should be concerned about what happened in Moore County and with other power substations around the country.) Anti-LGBTQ+ violence is indefensible. It is just as indefensible as violence against ethnic and racial minorities and religious minorities—or anyone.

I am thankful for the queer Christians in my life who continue in the faith despite so much opposition from the world and worldly elements in the Church.

Praying this morning, like so many mornings, that God will melt the hearts of those in government who oppose gun control laws. Too many people have died so that they can retain their power.
