Gays love

ALEXANDRIA, Tenn. (BP) — “Why doesn’t God love gays?” a teenager asked during our youth ministry time the other night.

It was sort of out of the blue since the discussion was on the restore of Jesus, but clearly it was on the heart of at least one, if not many, of the teens there that night. I thank this teen’s boldness to ask!

It’s a question this generation has had to wrestle with that previous generations did not. In reality, the speed with which the topic of homosexuality has come to rule the social and political conversation is staggering, aided by what pastor Voddie Baucham described as “a coordinated, well-funded, well-connected propaganda strategy” in a 2012 article at The Gospel Coalition.

The movement has become fond a snowflake that turns into an avalanche, demolishing any opposition in the public arena, and it’s still growing.

Without a doubt, many young people are confused. They’re hearing in pop society and maybe even in their schools that homosexuality is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle that not only should be tolerated but acknowledged and explored. Then, however, they catch from faith communit

10 min peruse. This article contains spoilers (duh).

M3GAN, a.k.a. Model 3 Generative Android, has rocketed straight to the top of lgbtq+ iconography. It’s not like the movie’s marketing team targeted us directly. As such, the movie’s success doesn’t hinge on queer acceptance. M3GAN’s got it nonetheless, but how did the familiar story of AI gone wrong secure its gay following?

First, what makes a gay icon? Can anyone answer without betraying the extent to which their opinion is shaped by real gender non-conforming people? An representative is not purely superficial. If it really were just about looks, then Bros would hold warranted the attention it clamored for. Yes, M3GAN is fierce. She is the moment. Any gay colloquialism we stole from Inky people applies. Drawn from a reference pool teeming with potential, her attitude, fashion sense, melody taste, and psychopathic theatrics are definitively camp. In  brief, M3GAN is more true to herself than some human beings.

This Valentine’s Day is the first time in 20 years I have a valentine, and she also happens to be my first girlfriend in a female homosexual relationship.  

As I wrote in an essay around last Valentine’s Night, I never had much LGBTQ representation in my life. The only time people around me spoke about the LGBTQ group was to condemn it. I was led to believe the confusing feelings inside me were my own fault and that I was choosing a lifestyle that would lead to unending damnation. 

However, I also grew up during the rise of social media. Through new platforms fancy Tumblr and Instagram, I start “The 100,” which was a typical mid-2010s dystopian television reveal with a ‘strong female lead’ struggling to decide between two almost identical guys for her romantic interest — until it wasn’t.

Clarke, the show’s female manage , started dating one of the first lesbian characters I’d seen on television, Lexa. Their association meant a lot to me at age 14 and although I was a fan of the young adult genre, I’d rarely seen LGBTQ characters that validated my identity. 

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Lexa was killed off in the show. I remember the backlash from LGBTQ fans that

What do you do when that feeling of entity in love starts to wear off?

It can be really disappointing. And studies show that that feeling of feeling really linked, feeling really at one, lasts an average of about two years.

So then what? That’s when you have to really begin feeding that relationship. That food for the bond I think happens naturally in those beginning stages. But after that initial period of oneness starts to wear off, I think we have to be more intentional about it, and come up with specific strategies to keep it feeling to keep us feeling joint to our partner.

What I recommend is you track Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages and figure out your partner’s favorite love languages, and your favorite love languages, and then intentionally originate doing more of those.
