The Defiance of Love: On Glennon, And Hate, And Moms With Transgender Kids

 

You know how strongly you feel about your position? Your certainty that God condemns same-sex sexuality? I am just as certain that God does not. I am just as certain that you are wrong, that your interpretation of the Bible is wrong and that your actions that emerge from that interpretation are wrong. I do not just think that you are on the wrong side of history; I think that you are on the wrong side of God. But here is what I am NOT going to do about it: I am not going to push you out of my church, or shun you from my family. I am not going to lobby my legislature to create laws that deny you civil rights, or tell you which bathroom you should use, or claim that you are a threat to my children. I am not, even though some days I really want to, going to say things about you and to you that make you feel less than human, unworthy of a place in our society. I am not going to make you feel unloved.
