Tweets - February 25th - I am me

When I left religion (Pentecostal, Christianity), the idea of homosexuality (or any sexual act) being a "sin" flew out the window. It was nothing I ever thought or questioned since. I am me, and my humanity and sexuality is unashamedly intertwined with my personality. I am whole.

I am gay insomuch as it matters to you, but I could have never known the term "gay" and I would still be me. There is no other version of me - so to reject me for being gay is to reject me and my humanity altogether.

Besides mercilessness and injustice (things you hate done to you), God is not judgmental. For God to be as judgmental as the most vile and heartless people of this world, and then to reject me because I am gay, is literally no different than God rejecting me for having skin.

Either I am completely acceptable to God (because I can only be myself, or a liar), or I am rejected altogether.

But if God has a problem with me being me, God can lobotomize me - chop out half of my brain (which is the only way I could no longer be me) - which sounds a hell of lot more "loving" than sending me to roast for billions of years.

If I am sent to burn because I am gay, it was only because God put in the absolute least amount of effort to ensure I wouldn't burn. If you judge and condemn me because I am me, it was only because you put in the absolute least amount of effort to even try to be a decent person.
