I was wearing our ‘Gay the Pray Away’ shirt when I met Jesus at Davis County Pride. He seemed exactly like the version Christian folks try to edit.

Same robes. Way better message.

Be well.

Many "Christians" weaponize scripture to marginalize the LGBTQ community, citing Leviticus or Paul's letters to justify exclusion. Yet they ignore the same texts' prohibitions on divorce, gossip, or even eating pork—the sins they easily commit without a second thought.

This selective outrage leads to a deeper issue: their failure to grapple with religion's complexity and cultural context.

Jesus overwhelmingly challenged religious elites (and zealots) who prioritized rules over people, consistently siding with the ostracized. He never mentioned homosexuality or gender identity, but he did command love for all, without exception.

The hypocrisy here is using faith as a bludgeon to harm rather than a balm to heal.

True Christianity demands humility and self-reflection, not judgment. God didn't send Christ to judge—and I'm confident he didn't send you or your keyboard either.
