#and how christians should learn to be more chill with LGBT+ folk

[give-soup-please]

(me, preparing an important presentation on queer issues): ah, yes, doing this will make my favorite fictional characters so proud of me >:)

Me, cont: yes, they will indeed be proud of me for standing in front of an audience and talking, despite the fact that they do not exist, cannot see me, and do not know of my existence. making fictional characters proud of me is something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve...

(does anyone else do this?)

#personal #like... i'm doing something difficult #and pretending that they're going to be proud of me if i pull it off helps #if i manage to pull off what i'm trying to pull off it will be huge #even if the audience is limited #i'm half debating advertising it to get some extra publicity #sending the zoom link by which people would be able to watch me #but... hmm... #my topic is a little controversial #it's about the intersection of the queer and christian community #and how christians should learn to be more chill with LGBT+ folk #and... how christians and LGBT+ people shouldn't be enemies #but instead focus on the real villains of the world- white supremacists and nazis #this will be incredibly difficult to handle with sensitivity and grace #and i'm really scared of doing it for a lot of reasons #putting a few different kinds of potential targets on my back to deliver an important message #but if i do it..... and do it well... #i'm sure the fictional characters i adore would be so proud of me despite the fact that they don't exist #and cannot see me or know who i am
