There are still progressive Christians I trust and feel safe having conversations with, but watching as Tim Keller's toxic theology was downplayed as "a complicated legacy" so people could praise him pretty much ended my desire to hang out in those spaces in the future Keller, as "nice" as he was, would never have seen me as fully human and deserving of good things - unless I converted to (his interpretation of) Christianity and repressed my queer identity

With Tim Keller in the news, I'd just like to note that his career has been linked deeply to some of THE WORST abusive, misogynistic pastors and churches in the business with his Gospel Coalition. If he acknowledged it at all it was to deflect and downplay those relationships. I expect that there's going to be a lot of hagiophraphic posts about Keller's career and body of work in the coming weeks with the news. I am not particularly interested in that.
