#and the coe is worse in my state than most other places in the western world so ya i shit on it

[dawningfairytale]

mad about a tweet of an article portraying something technically true but basically wrong

#while yes it's conservative under larger society given this thing's circumstances it's actually pretty fucking progressive #also 'church of england so scotland should just leave' DO YOU NOT THINK ANGLICAN CHURCHES DONT EXIST ELSEWHERE #READ THE DAMN ARTICLE #i know it is bad. i am acutely aware of the homophobia in the church for some fucking reason #but like. this is genuinely better than it is elsewhere. #anglican churches being able to bless gay couples is a huge step in the right direction #no! it's not enough! i know that. but guess what? sometimes you have to muscle through it and wait for the homophobes to change their minds #or die out #this conundrum takes a long time. clearly. but this isn't the worst treatment of queer christians in the western world #(by the church at least) and i'm sick of people acting as though it is #do you know the homophobia that exists specifically in the sydney anglican church? #do you know that the nsw and act baptist association is debating over whether churches can be churches if they're 'same-sex affirming' #ie. can churches still be baptist if they're doing LITERALLY WHAT THE UPDATE SAYS THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IS DOING #and the coe is worse in my state than most other places in the western world so ya i shit on it #but still. read the fucking article and understand that it's a bloody nuanced situation #vent #vent post #tw christianity #tw christianity mention #tw homophobia #in tags #THE ARTICLE IS PROGRESS YEAH PROGRESS IS SLOW BUT I'D MUCH RATHER CELEBRATE IT THAN REPRIMAND IT #OH YEAH AND THE FUCKING BIBLE BELT IN AMERICA #you're going to tell me. that whatever the fuck's going on there is comparable to 'sowwy we still can't marry gay couples but we're trying! #we can bless the union which is an improvement!!!'
