today i went to the church i was raised in for the first time in years. the series was “anyone and everyone”.... but the sermon had NOTHING to do with loving marginalized people/those historically excluded from christian communities. (1/3)

there’s something particularly cruel about pretending to love everyone, when you simply don’t. this church doesn’t affirm lgbtq+ people, they’ve never openly condemned white supremacy, and the pastoral team has always been entirely made up of cishet white men. (2/3)

idk what the point of this thread is, other than that experiences like today’s are infuriating, exhausting, and triggering—but ultimately completely unsurprising. i’m just so tired of people insisting they love those they actively harm. (3/3)
