This does not include all of the sexual abuse of children that has never been reported, and this does not include all of the sexual abuse of children that has been covered up by pastors, staff, elders, and congregants. This isn't just sexual abuse, this is also spiritual abuse.

Jonathan Ryan Ensey "a pastor’s son and Conroe church worship leader was sentenced to prison... convicted of victimizing a congregant by committing indecency with a child and online solicitation of a minor." yourconroenews.com/neighborhood/m…

.@SamusMcQueen's article for @them, which I cited in my newsletter, was published a few days later, and received significant more engagement, both on Twitter both also on Reddit: them.us/story/drag-ale…

A Texas-based anti-LGBTIQ group created an online tool for reported drag shows, and in response activists flooded the tool with enough reports to apparently crash the site. However, as of this morning, the site is again live:
