Hell, the church lost any morality for me when I was a gay teen in the late 1970s. This isn't new. My church congregation was filled with people who thought of themselves as moral and wonderful. But they didn't think twice about treating me like shit because I was gay.

To this day, when I know someone is a Christian, I know I'm interacting with someone who will probably despise me and consider themselves morally superior to me, if they know I'm gay.

Most Christians are thoroughly disgusting people, in my direct experience. They're arrogant. They're smug. They're condemnatory. They treat different people like me like shit.

Hell, I was reading an article in my tiny local newspaper last night about a "wonderful" new church forming not too far from me. They're going to provide services for the homeless. They're going to open up a community center. They're going to be a force for good. They reject politics. They call themselves liberal.

Then I dug into the details.

They are, like typical Christians, homophobic monsters. The leader of their denomination goes out of his way to condemn people like me. He writes that recognizing gay people as sinners who need to repent is a critical and fundamental definition of Christianity

Clearly, he's an arrogant, judgemental piece of shit.

This isn't anything new. It's part of what being a Christian is to most Christians.

If people are just noticing that most Christians are disgusting pieces of shit, I hope they keep noticing, and I hope they do something about it!

I know that we queer people are sick and tired of having Christians treat us like we're scum.

It would be nice if allies would join us and call out Christians for their appallingly immoral behavior toward marginalized minorities — which again, is not new. It's old as the hills, and it's deeply sad and depressing.
