We’ve all been there: You’re at the festival. Or maybe a rooftop in Brooklyn. You’re living — truly living. You listen to vinyl, OK?
But what’s the cost?
That’s the big question posed by Anchored North, an evangelical Christian group, in a new video aimed at a queer millennial audience and laughably titled “Love is Love.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
In the video, which employs a painful array of youth-targeting production elements, a young woman shares how Christ saved her from a life of queer sin.
Emily Thomes, you’ll learn if you can stomach your way through the madness, was once engaged to a — get this — woman.
Then she went to Bible study and Jesus was all, like, “Whoa bro, no homo.”
It all ends with a tagline the Anchored North team surely agonized over way too much: “It’s not gay to straight. It’s lost to saved.”
The comments include a multitude of disgust (and lots of unsettling praise, too), but are summed up nicely by this one:
“This is bullsh*t,” someone wrote.
Are you ready to get saved?
"It's not gay to straight. It's lost to saved."

This pretty much puts the nail in that inane “love is love” phrase.

Ha. I guess the best that can be said it’s for the naive millenniums ie dumbasses. It’s all about love baby and btw you’re a sinner that’s going to go to hell.

Indoctrination into a lifetime of mental illness.
It’s good to know that the millennials, that were lucky enough to be born with evolved brains, will never be capable of believing that religious based fantasy is reality. Evolution is wonderful.

Okay, so basically the usual ex-gay testimony bullshit that was ridiculed back in the late 2000s and on to 2012, but now is trying to creep back in because we’ve let this Christianity hogwash off the hook for the most part, targeting everything else. You go in believing half of the nonsense and you leave believing ALL of the nonsense. Christianity is complete nonsense. Sorry about it.

I couldn’t get through it all. After the two smokes holding hands ran down the street together, God got in my head and kept saying “Remember the words of “The Book of Closetus 2:69” – Thou shalt show only hot lesbians for they are a way of hiding thine latent desires… but thou must never depict whence a man may kiss a man or lay down with a man; it be frought with the possible discovery of thine true interest in the rod (or Staff) and… I mean it’s icky.

Religion is silly, but literally no sillier than saying you’re some made-up gender and want to be be called ‘zir’.

Someone accepting and defining themselves as they see fit isn’t silly.
It’s survival. “Ex-gays” saved through religion are doing more harm to themselves than anyone with your “made-up” gender. In the long run, those poor bastards are just hiding from themselves and not experiencing life as they should.

Ultimately, it is what it is. Many gay and gay-leaning people just can’t contend with a “gay lifestyle”. Whether it be due to religious guilt, wanting to be accepted by family and friends, wanting a “traditional” family, having a corroded and depressed ego, gay and gay-leaning men who suffer from misandry, gay and gay-leaning women who suffer from misandry or internalized homophobia (which is often connected to one of the earlier things)- they can’t deal. So, I say let them move on with their lives. And there are some folks who probably should move on. Just don’t BS people or fvck with self-accepting and self-comfortable people.

And Pence sits in the wings, just waiting, just waiting for the idiot to be impeached or resign. Then all his magical thinking can be put to good use to ruin people’s lives .
Kangol
But what if Pence is also implicated and is impeached or indicted or both as well? 😉
