Love and well-wishing to President Jimmy Carter, who is in hospice. Imagine if the public face of Christianity looked more like this - humility, service, love - and less like nasty, snarling @GOP bigots banning books and attacking #trans kids and loving #LGBTQ+ couples.
If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.

They talk tough. But in reality, they seem to be afraid of everything. Books. Votes. Trans-athletes. Masks. Women making their own health care decisions. The truth. The other. Yes, it’s mean. And power hungry. And nihilistic. But it’s weak and fearful at it’s core.
