I recently tweeted<\/a> about Issues in Human Sexuality <\/a>on Twitter, and I was intending to make it a long thread with all my thoughts. But I could tell I was quite upset, and any millennial worth their salt knows ‘never tweet angry’!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So I’ve turned to this blog as a brief outlet, because I cannot let it go entirely. Thank you for indulging my need to rant. I am allowed to disagree with the church on this, and let people know my opinion; I wouldn’t still be part of it if I wasn’t. It’s important to think about how I air my views though, so here’s my trying to be sensitive without betraying my integrity!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are the tweets I managed to resist putting in that thread: <\/p>\n

-What\u2019s depressing is how much the introduction claims exactly the same principles\/intentions as in the LLF<\/a> material. The big difference now is we have access to legal same-sex marriage and we can have a legitimate argument for CofE<\/a> same-sex weddings and clergy having same-sex spouses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

-LGBTQIA+ people suffer from this document but cisgender and heterosexual people are also skewered by the theology it proffers. I think it upholds shame, bibliolatry, hypocrisy, inaccurate generalisations, possibly Gnosticism, and the patriarchy with relish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
-Some of the concepts invoked are so wrong as to be ridiculous. For someone born in 1992, it\u2019s like reading something from the Bronze Age – it\u2019s so anachronistic, I can\u2019t recognise that it\u2019s from within living memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
-The word \u2018homophile\u2019 is one of the most damaging things queer people is the CofE still<\/i> have to deal with. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
