[quote=Anonymous]As a gay man I have noticed this and I do find it weird. Another gay friend of mine commented that it's as if the churches have a new saint, this time Saint LGBTQ. Will say Saint BLM has faded away except at the most hard-core.

I do find it partly weird because I also know the Bible and the history of Christian theology so there's some pretty audacious cherry picking going on. Then again, theology is always evolving and cherry picking. But as someone who grew up in a non ideological mainline Presbyterian congregation and somewhat interested in joining a church, I do check out the church staff pages and if there's a queer non binary director of youth education (they always have the pronouns and refer to "they") I pretty much write the church off as a place that blends creative approaches to Christianity with progressive politics, aka not non ideological or political.

Mainline church memberships have been collapsing for a while. It seems like the options are either very conservative or very progressive and political and little in between. [/quote]
