Send us a textIs the current pope's stance on LGBTQ+ issues regressive? We kick off this episode with a critical examination of the recent comments made by the pope, which have sparked controversy and disappointment among many who once hoped for a more progressive papal stance. We dive into the complexities surrounding gay men in the priesthood, exploring the broader implications of these views and comparing them to the struggles and triumphs of gay clergy in other religious denominations. We also take a deep dive into the inclusion of trans individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, discussing how public perception and support have been influenced by these dynamics.In the latter half, we turn our attention to the unique experiences of gay individuals in rural America, specifically those who choose to stay in their communities despite societal pressures. We touch upon the historical presence of gay priests and the notable absence of misconduct in pagan religions, shedding light on often overlooked narratives. The conversation then shifts to broader societal issues, such as workplace discrimination, misconceptions about HIV/AIDS, and the controversial book bans in Florida targeting literature with gay characters. We close by challenging stereotypes around gay parenting, affirming the dedication and capabilities of gay couples in raising children. Join us for a thought-provoking and comprehensive discussion that tackles these critical and timely issues head-on.Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/MdcMwqUjPZFacebook: (7) Life Temple and Seminary | Facebook
