Was just reading most of this and I thought y’all might like it.

If you are an Anglican/Episcopalian reblog this

I want to see how many of us there are

lgbtprolife

I’m going to block out the name to show respect this individual doesn’t really deserve, but this is incredibly unacceptable. To actually mock abuse I’ve experienced because I don’t agree with your political beliefs is not only disrespectful, but childish and disgusting.

I can’t believe someone actually said these things. This is more than a little disturbing.

I am a gay Christian.

Constantly, I am being labeled as a hypocrite

because I have faith in a God that apparently

does not accept me.

God calls everyone His own.

It’s the church that does not accept me.

Are my prayers not heard because

every night before I go to bed, I kiss the lips of a woman

instead of a man?

When I kneel down before the cross,

am I just seen as dirty because I’ve also knelt

down between the thighs of a girl?

I am a gay Christian.

Daily I’m told, “But the Bible clearly states that

marriage is between a man and a woman.

How do you justify this?”

I could go on forever about historical context

and reading between the lines.

Is my understanding of the Bible any less

significant than yours because you take everything at face value

and I have faith to know that God still loves me?

When I raise my hands in worship,

is it does in vain just because

these hands also hold my girlfriend at night?

I am a gay Christian.

After I came out of the closet,

I got messages on Facebook quoting Leviticus,

verses I’ve heard a thousand times.

It’s easy to hide behind a computer screen

and tell me something I can repeat to you word for word.

Am I not allowed in the church

because you’re afraid I’m going to try and convert

everyone to be something you don’t choose to be?

When I read the Bible,

can I just not see what it’s actually saying

because my “illness” is getting in the way?

I am a gay Christian.

I’m told I made a choice to identify as queer,

but actually I made the choice to embrace what God made

me to be and to be happy.

Most believers have no idea how it feels to be attracted to

someone that you are not supposed to love.

When I look into the eyes of my lover,

is it not the same way a man and woman

look into each others eyes?

At my wedding, I’ll start to cry when I see my bride

coming down the aisle in white, so tell me

that’s not the same love!

I am a gay Christian.

Like many people who enjoy their work, the Fr. Jacques Hamel did not want to stop. At 85, he was well past retirement age, but he kept in shape and kept on going — baptizing infants, celebrating Mass and tending to parishioners in St.-Étienne-du-Rouvray, the working-class town in Normandy where he had spent much of his life. “He could have retired at 75 years old, but seeing how few priests were around he decided to stay and work, to continue to be of service to people, up until it all ended, tragically,” the Rev. Auguste Moanda-Phuati, the parish priest of the Église St.-Étienne, where Father Hamel worked as an auxiliary priest, said in a phone interview. “He was loved by all. He was a little like a grandfather. We were happy when he was around and worried when we hadn’t seen him in a while.” Father Hamel was celebrating Mass on Tuesday morning when two men with knives entered the small church and slit his throat, an attack that horrified people across France and the world. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that the two assailants — who were shot dead by the police — were “soldiers” retaliating against the United States-led coalition fighting the group in Iraq and Syria.

“A brutal act of barbarism has taken away our priest and gravely wounded a parishioner,” he said, after meeting with President François Hollande and other officials who raced to the town after the attack. “I told the president of the republic that it was absolutely necessary that this doesn’t happen again. Let us be the last to cry.” At the end of his brief statement, the mayor broke down in tears. Jean Baya, a plumber who knew Father Hamel well, was one of many parishioners who recalled the priest’s dedication. “He was just so helpful,” Mr. Baya said. “It really hurts me that he’s gone. He came to the house after I lost a child.”

Your right to bear arms is not more important than someone’s life.

firstdegreeliberty

Wrong.

Human rights are more important than any single person.

It is not a human right to own a gun.

queeranglocatholic

Unless of course, you’re the one using said gun to avoid being shot yourself. Because of all the people advocating for gun control, speaking as a bisexual male with not much in the way of physical intimidation factor, living in the rural Deep South in a dodgy neighbourhood, it would be far better for the LGBT community to _arm ourselves_ against bigots than simply call for everyone to be disarmed. I cannot count the number of times I’ve had to scare off some angry, drunken bigot at my door who wanted to ‘’shoot at some queers for target practice,’ and was only scared off because he had a twelve-gauge aimed at his face to go with the usual ‘please leave my property.’

Man mistakenly arrested for DUI in Louisiana, is released and hospitalised next day after severe beating and gang-rape by inmates inside the parish jail. Lawsuit impending.

cult of personality

mattykinsel-deactivated20190210

exactly! Like she rules undemocratically, has massive power over governments (at least in Canada for sure), her imagery and icons are venerated like this (cult of personality like you said), she changed a tire or something in the war so now we give her honour (has she worked as muc as the average working class woman though? No? Like they fawn over her because she worked once but in reality she still inherited all her wealth anyways), and she’s the source of all legislative government authority, but nobody questions it because she’s a monarch and it’s sentimental and good for tourism or something ?? Like?? People have issues with totalitarian Communist leaders occupying positions of such value and respect but not the Queen, no, cause she’s the Queen. It’s such utter nonsense.

Like especially as a Christian I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s idolatrous. Monarchy is idolatrous.

Whew sorry I’m just super passionate about this and staunchly republican (in this classical sense) and yeah

There is a vast difference between the heir of a family line that has spent its entire existence in the UK, my country, devoted to the ruling of the country, and exists solely to fulfill that purpose, and dictators who may be switched out with whatever ambitious party leader has the top spot in mind for power. One does so out of responsibility and a sense of duty, because the crown is their burden to bear whether they want it or not- (and if Edward VIII is any good indication, some would rather not), while the other is simply one of many vying for ultimate power. Not out of duty to one’s country and family, not out of making your dynasty’s legacy live on, but simple power. I’m a worker on a farm, and even I can see no reason to look down on people for being born luckier than I (unless they actually do anything to personally harm anyone I care about) except envy or a misguided sense of fairness.
