Direct action gets the goods. My wife and I are planning on disrupting a reactionary "revival" service that is going on in our small city tonight
Post Body

Good morning comrades.

My wife and I attended a "revival" service last night. The service was supposed to be about "walking in love" and how "walking in love" is the whole essence of Christian life. We attended because we were invited by a person we knew through my wife's work. When we went to the service, we were treated with disdain and disrespect. The people who went stared at us and acted as though we were some unholy abomination because we were openly queer. The people behind the service, especially the pastor, said really hateful and homophobic things and I faced transphobic bile from them as well. I was misgendered repeatedly and was essentially told that I was blaspheming the Holy Spirit. I left in tears, upset that these people were not "walking in love" and were being huge hypocrites.

My wife and I talked about it, and we decided to go back tonight for the sole purpose of disrupting their service. We both feel convicted by the Holy Spirit to confront their homophobic and transphobic ministry. Please pray for us! Please pray that we can get them to truly "walk in love" and repent of their hatred! We have a plan to be very loud and to do everything in our power to drown out their hateful rhetoric.

If I may, I encourage you to reconsider going tonight. I don’t know what you mean when you say “disrupt” but I’m pretty sure all you will accomplish is to further solidify their bigotry and possibly gain some fleeting satisfaction.

Is that worth it to you? These people are not going to change their views. Not without some significant divine intervention. Embarrassing/Angering them won’t solve anything. In fact it may make things worse in the future.

Just my 2 cents for what it’s worth. I don’t know you but I love your fight back spirit. Fight smart though. The enemy is formidable.
