This is what I fear most. But it happens every day. Most Christian's paths don't start until they leave the church and most never do.
I am glad to read this. Communities are a big part of growth. I think the modern Christianity lost that bit somewhere along the way.
They will, the problem is it will take time. I just wish we didn't have to hurt everyone seeking that growth.
In many ways queer culture is sort of a radically inclusive space informed by decades of response and radical fighting against the forces of trauma. Drag Queen's have lineages of Mothers and Daughters, Drag Kings tend to form packs to perform. Queer events hold barbeques and brunches, create taverns and diners where queer culture is passed between generations as a way to keep old lessons alive and give people safe places to go to ask whatever they need. It is a community of outcasts who decided that the world needed less outcasts.
Here in Vancouver the last time I went to a drag event the Queens were advising everyone to keep more cash on them because homeless people often could not access free places to cool down to keep them safe in extreme heat events. Radical inclusion and the willingness to see flawed people as humans is one of the queer community's strengths. It's often paired with a lot of black humour and silliness but the core of the thing sometimes make me think that but for the lack of emphasis on spiritual belief there's a lot of underlying philosophy that Jesus probably wouldn't be too upset about.
