That’s because its BS. By the way, you can’t count Universalist Unitarians as actual Christians.
I call it BS too. My parish resides in an super blue city and these so-called Christian homos NEVER show up unless it’s Gay Week. Other than Gay week, they are nowhere to be seen. To them, being a fudgepacker is more important than being a Christian.
