I’m convinced this is all just white evangelicals who have had a massive persecution fetish finally being allowed to cum over it. This is what they have been longing for for my entire life: getting to pretend one of their own was martyred for his faith.

I don’t want to link to it, but check out the music video for “I Pledge Allegiance to the Lamb”, the last part especially, to get an idea of what I’m talking about. I remember putting on a play in church to that song where all us Christians were being arrested for our faith. After all these years they finally have their release 💦

Edit: fun fact, Ray Boltz (who sung the song I mentioned above) came out as gay later in life, and I think mellowed out a lot but not sure.
