Clobbered

God said humans were created in his image, male and female.

Does that image fade away when we love the "wrong" people?

You call marriage a sacred institution, 

But you support politicians with multiple divorces or proven infidelity. 

You look into the face of your fellow human beings

Refusing to see God reflected there, 

Robbing your neighbors of their dignity for the sake of your piety. 

But there are no whitewashed tombs in sight on the moral high ground. 

God destroyed the city of Sodom. 

The moral culpability of the Sodomites

Has been so inexorably tied to same sex intercourse

The terms are literally synonymous. 

Ironically, the real sin of Sodom was a lack of hospitality, 

Threatening violence and shame against their fellow human beings:

The very thing you do to the LGBTQ+ community

In the name of a God whose heart breaks over our hate masquerading as mercy. 

You call them abominations, 

Desperate to cast the first stone at your neighbor

Who God loves with all his heart. 

You're so convinced that words like "marriage"

Mean the same thing they did millennia ago

I find it hard to be surprised

You don't find it morally objectionable

For old men to pay for sex with underaged girls.  

You ignore the subtle social dynamics of pederasty,

The impact they played in ancient cultures, 

Jesus' silence on the subject,

The transactional nature of real "Biblical marriage,"

And the fact that drag queens are statistically far less likely to abuse children

Than the middle-aged white men society is built around. 

Before you try to pick the glitter out of the eye of the LBGTQ+ community

You should consider getting the two-by-four out of your own.
