Rage Against Homophobia: A Response to the Murders at the Club Q in Colorado Springs

The murders at Club Q on November 20 in Colorado Springs are horrific, as are all acts of violence against the queer community.

Julia and Jeremiah bypass the impulse to dissect how church rhetoric impacted the murders, especially given that they happened in the mecca of the Evangelical Church, and land on the following position:

“The church's anti-queer propaganda absolutely has and continues to set the stage for this violence on large global scales, on individual scales, family scales, and communal scales. No more of this bullshit.”

We are dedicated to the work of talking about the influence of the evangelical church on the lives of individuals and on the lives of communities. And we'll have more episodes about the seven deadly sins in the next few weeks.

But for today, for tonight, please take care of yourself. Get a little extra rest tonight. Do what it takes to grieve on your own terms, whatever that process is.
