I really don't like getting into peoples grills about their beliefs. I really do want to leave people to however it is that they want to deal with their existence (& impending non existence). But it's one thing when you're framing your life in a way that works for you >

This idea that one group of our society is morally wrong, or broken or disordered or less then or less worthy (or worthy of punishment) has a very real outcome. Suffering. On a mammoth scale. >

The future is going to judge us harshly for this. A brutality visited on our fellow humans on a scale that almost defies comprehension>

But we have to respect everybody's beliefs right? And "religious beliefs" are "special" - even when it leads to suffering of millions.
How otherwise decent people continue to enable this I will never know...

I just want to acknowledge my ubiquitous misuse of the term "gay" when I meant LGBTQ+.
Please know if you are TQ2+ you are equally worthy of acknowledgement & our love & support.
I apologise to you x
