“I don't have to have internal struggles with my morality, my sense of self, or my worthiness. I just am. In that way, being gay is both irrelevant and critically important in my life.

“Fall in love with a guy who makes an effort. The guy who doesn’t throw in the towel when things get hard, who doesn’t storm away and run when you have a disagreement. A guy who is willing to sit down and talk through shit, even when it’s uncomfortable or hard. A guy who is always honest, always direct, and speaks kindly.”

“This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it. [Ezekiel 16:49]

There's nothing in there about having loving same-sex unions with people they truly cared about and adored.”

“The Bible was not written directly by the hand of God. It was written by mortal men who transcribed the word of God through the context of their time period. Reading the Bible without understanding that context is like reading Huckleberry Finn without knowing what slavery was or reading The Great Gatsby with no understanding of the concept of money. 

Reading scripture cannot be as easy as cherry-picking individual verses, because the verses without their context are just words strung together by some ancient thinker interpreted by a modern translator who thinks he knows the precise meaning.”
