Reply #122: Its more than just the pulpit... [View All]

The mainstream culture of the United States is extremely hostile to GBLT people, from families to society, we have people who have their lives practically destroyed for being born different. We have kids and teenagers who have to deal with a largely unsympathetic society, from church, to parents, to figures such as McCloset. That's the reason why I'm so adamant in my opposition to him doing this concert shit, the fact is that people like him are dangerous. This is no exaggeration, a third of teenage suicides in this country are committed by those who are GBLT, many who failed to survive the very "ex-gay" treatment that McCloset himself advocates. He's a symbol of false hope, a roadblock of guilt who claims that through the grace of God, people can be cured of their homosexuality. I do NOT want to see yet more lives unnecessarily thrown away just to placate bigots.
