Lil Nas X's apology really pissed me off. Cause he shouldn't have done it.
I grew up in the church. I was born and raised where I went to church 3 or 4 times out of the week. Literally most of the things I did up until the age of 16, were in a church environment.
Summer Camp (I stopped doing it when I entered high school.)
I also was a usher on certain Sundays outta the month.
I know the horrors that go on in the church. I have a lot of trauma about it, that I still haven't worked through almost a decade after, I stopped attending. I'm sure Lil Nas X knows these horrors as well. Christians are some of the biggest bullies. Religious people are not victims. They were never ever victims. They control, conquer, and destroy. They are twisted and will literally use their holy book to justify it.
Giving an apology to them, is only gonna give approval to their victim mentality. Where they act as if so many people are against them. While they openly rally and vote to take away rights from Women, Children, LGBT folks and basically ANYONE who doesn't agree with them. Christians have no problem mocking people who don't agree with them, so that makes it open season on them. Lil Nas X can mock or do whatever he wanted with Christian Imagery.
I also wanna add that the real problem isn't his imagery, it's the fact that Lil Nas X is gay. The Christians in America, had no problem when Kanye West, gave himself the Yeezus title. When he started acting like he was Jesus Christ. When he released music videos, music, merch and tons of things that included Christian imagery. They had no problem with it. They bought it and actually supported it. It all boils down to sexuality, and their strong hatred for the LGBT community.
