For context, this is a church in the Gayborhood of Dallas.
Actually doing God’s work.
This is the statement from the church:
>“Silence is not neutral. Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor. Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity and belonging. We are being Christian. Our steps are a declaration in paint: every LGBTQ+ child of God deserves safety, dignity, and joy – without apology.”
As an adult with religious trauma due to being outted as a teen to my religious family, this is really nice to see lol
“bUt MuH FrEeDum of SpeecH is Hurt by This Church NoT AgreeIng wItH mUh HATE!!!!!
💕💕💕
Actual Christian love
May more religious institutions follow this example.
Ah, Christians who bothered to read the Bible and take notes from the big JC!
Suddenly, I’m a member of a church in Texas, even though I live 1000 miles away
Malicious compliance is the best kind of compliance.
