There's so much good that some churches do. The Methodist near me has a permanent trans flag and a sign saying all are welcome. Do all sorts of good deeds. If you're looking for community and a place to put your charity, either your money or your labor, you could do much worse. It's an established functional thing, actually dedicated to good deeds and love.
Such churches do exist, and if your a product of western society, as I suspect anyone reading this is, it's the closest thing to heritage and a sort of tribal inclusion you're likely to get. A thing I think all humans crave on some level.
Then the Catholics, mega churches etc out there giving it all a bad name. Just hateful with a side of systematic sexual abuse. My point being maybe just don't turn your nose up at the mere thought of it. There's so much goodness about if you only reach out and grab it.
I had a priest as a kid who was always saying that god doesn’t hate & neither should you. I remember during one sermon he was talking about Harry Potter(during height of anti Harry Potter bullshit) & how love was a major theme in the book we should all pay attention too.
He was cool.
Well, unless you're gay. Or trans. Or not white.
yeah, jk became the voldemort of her own story. either way, ol' boy holyman was legit af.
Man I was so disappointed with all that. At first I thought maybe people were overreacting and taking what was said out of context. It's obviously a deeply personal thing (gender and sexuality) for a lot of people, and as such is sometimes difficult to speak of. I figured the woman who wrote such a lovely whimsical novel wouldn't really be hateful. But holy shit did she double down! Just disappointing.
Some people make wonderful art and are hateful bitches.
Like hitler.
