"And this is what I love about God: The Church has driven out LGBTQ people for centuries, with an especially intense malice over the last several decades, and in response to this, God just says, okay, fine, we’re good out here. Where you chase my people, I will be with them. Where they gather, I will be there. Clubs. Conversations. Protests. In lament and anger and tears and laughter and way too many drinks. I will be with them and make this right for them. I will love them more fiercely for their wounds. I will draw them close. I will know them and they will know me. They will tell you my name."

Tags: religion okay so i went to a church today and it was strange (further research has revealed that it's really rather culty and as such i'm pleased my instincts are so good) but it was so good to be in a church full of young people and laughter and music that i almost didn't notice and then i mentioned the lgbt community and how angry it made me when people damned us to hell and back and the woman i was speaking to she didn't understand what i meant that i was some shade of queer and she was talking about how sin is sin whether it's 'that' or cheating on your wife or putting work before god or whatever and i was just so tired i love god and i love my religion and i will fight to the bitter end for my right to do so but i am so tired i am tired enough that this post almost made me burst into tears canon jesus is better than fanon jesus
