An update about my son wanting to go to youth group...
I decided to email the youth pastor before talking to my son. I asked the church's views on LGBTQ rights, single parents, how salvation focused their teachings were, etc.
I got back the attached email.
So I sat my son down and explained that this church would not accept his trans aunt and friends, his queer aunt, me as a single mom who's never been married.
His response was "well that's stupid, now I don't want to go".
People here were right - he was looking for a group to make friends at. We've decided on Scouts (Canada, much more liberal than the US version) and either swimming lessons or karate.
We are going to go to the Unitarian Church and see if he wants to go regularly.
SO RELIEVED. I am so thankful I have an awesome kid.
fricking unitarians lmao

Unitarians don't count as Christian, btw, as they denied the fricking Trinity long before turning into a fricking political joke. Carry on making fun of them.

Hmm, why is it that a church usually first loses the proper understanding of God, and then becomes gay and falls apart? Interesting pattern.
