Level 40. Here to explore my sexuality. Theoretically gay. Practically a mess. Adults only.
You get paid to contribute to this statistic. And despite those stakes, you won't even listen to the people who have survived the kind of abuse you're dealing out to LGBT kids through "Building Catholic Futures". You arrogantly ignore us.

Questions of faith: Religious affiliations and suicidal ideation among sexual minority young adults
To examine how the associations of specific religious affiliations with recent suicidal ideation vary by sexual orientation among young adults. This project was a cross-sectional secondary analysis of...

You're more homophobic than the roughly ~70% of Americans who don't think gay people are immoral for falling in love and having sex. You're just another vain homophobe who thinks his lack of sexual desire for the same sex makes him morally superior to gay people who do experience sexual desire.

Because the church sure as hell wasn't going to accept transparency and accountability for its CSA. It banned gay men from seminary in 2005 in response to the abuse scandal, despite its own study that found that gay priests were some of the least likely priests to abuse children.

Did you tell them about how you think their sex life diminishes their humanity? I just think they probably wouldn't have been laughing with you if they knew that.

So how exactly do you think queer people who have sex with the people they love are less human than straight people who do the same?

Stop over burdening your friends with an expectation that they will provide all your needs for emotional intimacy. Oh wait, you think gay people are "disabled" in a way that gives us no other choice...

You're literally working to keep queer Catholics like me alienated from our churches and families. You want there to be just enough room for you as an ace gay guy, and no one else. Stop with this hypocrisy.

I don't feel better that you're alone. Just sorry. I hope you treat yourself well tomorrow at least.

You enjoy what you consider tempting queer people to sin? Do you think that drag queen would be complimenting you if she knew you go into Catholic schools and tell queer kids they're broken? It's so gross how you feel entitled to enjoy the trappings of queer culture while you demean us.

Yup. Your problem is imposing it on all gay people.

You forgot the part where they say gay people's sexuality is evil, and will be eradicated in heaven to make homophobes like you comfortable. Also that Revoice is funded almost entirely by straight homophobes, and used for making junk studies like the one you just shared from Valk.

Yeah, I'm not seeing side b people pushing for graeter inclusion in homophobic denominations. I see them pushing against blessing and same sex marriage in progressive denominations, and holding the line in the Catholic church, and understating how homophobic it is.

This one deeply reinforced my internalized homophobia, and made me think I needed to be miserable and self punishing to be acceptable to God. It helped me keep torturing and rejecting myself for years longer than I would have needed to on my own. I hope you're enjoying the royalties.

None of that was ONLY about me, and I regret it. I understand if some lgbt people would have a hard time trusting me now, fearing that I might still judge them in my heart. I hope someday that I can earn their trust, but I know I haven't yet. If you're one of those people, know that I am sorry. 3/3

When I confessed struggles with gay desires, I validated my homophobic confessor's belief that they were shameful. Attending courage told other members that they belonged there. When I tithed in the 2000s, some of the money went to fighting the legal recognition of same sex couples' marriages. 2/

God bless the religious trauma tenderqueers amiright? Can't imagine why anyone would want space from you and your side b pals when you demonstrate such sensitivity...

Respectfully, I think you're misunderstanding why you've been criticized, but I won't press the issue. I don't think you're interested. So I will just say, the person you're upset at hasn't said anything about you lately. Maybe, for your own mental health, you should just let the blocklist thing go.
