Catholic antifascist who believes in nuance. This gets me in trouble with everyone.
I am a lifelong celibate gay catholic. I am *not* "side b." I do not identify with that movement, I disagree with its goals, its methods, and especially its dishonest rhetoric. I do not condemn same sex relationships.

Among the other heresies here, and the just straight up lying (this is not how even conservative Christians talk), he is making God to be just one agent among many in the world.

Maybe I'm being like Job's friends when I try to assign a meaning to the suffering God demands of me.

This is my biggest problem with Catholic teaching, on gender and sex, the thing that keeps me up at night and bothers me more than any of the loneliness or frustration or deprivation of unchosen celibacy.
It is true (and important) that we can live through hard times, it's also a crap thing to make the entire focal point of the discourse as young people, actual kids, are having hard times imposed on them as punishment for the crime of being queer.

Bluesky is getting to the point that it's useful to me in the way Twitter was useful: figuring out which journalists and authors you can ignore without missing anything important.

I've been so angry at God: feeling abandoned, and punished for existing. I have to remember that He doesn't owe me anything. If He wants me to suffer like this for the rest of my life, then that suffering is what *my* good looks like. He doesn't give us the goodness we want.

I hate that my stupid depressed brain has decided I'm going to have a crisis of faith and sexuality right now. The world is burning all around me, it seems so petty.

I don't normally approve of discrimination against gay people for having relationships. The church says unjust discrimination should be avoided, but it doesn't practice what it preaches. This bothers me on a whole other level. For one, if this school stands by its anti gay attitudes, why wouldn't
This school wanted a baseball star to attend. Until they found out his dads are gay.

Survivors often lose their place in the church for speaking the truth about their abuse. They lose any status they had. They lose honor and trust. All because of the things that were done TO them. Rather than accuse and disparage them, we must see them and embrace their courage.

My priest defended the ban on gay priests by saying that the priesthood requires that a priest offer his sexuality up to the church the way a husband does to a wife, and that gay men aren't capable of that because of our intrinsically disordered sexuality.

It's extremely dangerous when any criticism of a youth ministry is dismissed as irrational hatred just because it comes from a traditional Catholic perspective. Being criticized for a lack of sensitivity, expertise, vetting of the people involved, and even basic safeguards for children is not hatred

Confession: I have felt completely unwarranted jealousy and resentment towards bisexuals in the past. I envied them for having the "option" of an opposite sex relationship, and resented those that "chose" same sex relationships as "squandering" the "opportunity" to express their sexuality morally.

I hate father's day. It's a painful reminder that I'll never be one, and that my relationship with mine is crappy. Of course he hounded me about my ongoing lack of a girlfriend yesterday. I wish I could tell him the truth, but I know he'd wouldn't listen or understand. It's hard being invisible.

I've just been having one of the most frustrating conversations of my life with a supposedly affirming Christian who thinks I couldn't possibly object to her treating gay ex Catholics or affirming gay Catholics with contempt because I obey church teaching. She straight up accused me of lying about

I find the whole side a vs. side b framework profoundly unhelpful. It serves to shove people in boxes so we don't have to listen to them, and to launder a ton of homophobia.

Gee, it's almost like support for his immigration policies falls every time there is sustained media coverage of what those policies are actually doing
I wonder if this is relevant to Democratic elites' strategic calculations about whether to talk about those policies or change the subject 🤔

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

"We all have our crosses to bear." That's true, and I'm not trying to put mine down. I'd just like a little acknowledgement that the cross I'm expected to bear cuts a little closer to the heart of my humanity than that of someone who is tempted to cheat on their spouse or drink too much.

I've been trying to fill the void in pastoral care about stewarding my sexuality by reading a lot of side b stuff lately. One thing I find a little frustrating is a lack of acknowledgement that celibacy isn't always a fulfilling challenge. Sometimes it's just a lonely struggle we have to cope with.
