HUNGRY CHICKEN

thealisonandbeckystory:

We read many thought-provoking articles and watch a lot of interesting videos online - some of which we agree with, some we absolutely disagree with, and some we’re not so sure about. Because we’ve made a conscious decision not to fill our tumblr with a lot of reblogs, but we do want to facilitate people reading interesting material, we’ve decided to do a weekly round-up of interesting LGBT and/or faith-related articles we’ve read that week. This may or may not happen every week (the name might change to a biweekly round-up over time), but we’re starting optimistically!

• Jeremy Marks in The Guardian: I tried to cure gay people. Jeremy Marks is one of my all-time heroes of the LGBT Christian “movement”. He used to be an ex-gay leader, but in 2000 he changed the focus of his organisation Courage to one that supports LGBT individuals in their faith and relationships. The Guardian article just scratches the surface - you can read more on the Courage website.
• Bad Religion, by Ross Douthat and What does Jesus think about homosexuality? by Derek Flood. Both articles explore how the church should interact with the LGBT community, even and especially when they disagree theologically with gay relationships.
• The problem with “homosexuality”, by Justin Lee. Have you ever been asked the question ‘what do you think about homosexuality?’ Justin Lee discusses why this is very difficult to answer.
• The Dan Savage video that’s been circulating youtube and tumblr. I’ve linked to robofillet’s critique of Savage’s historical and theological interpretations, which I think is spot on (and not just because he gives us a HT!).

I’m in Alison and Becky’s weekly roundup! Lalalalalala! People who write a blog I read, read my blog and linked to it. This is the internet!

Thanks guys. Sorry I didn’t put your surnames in my post… I don’t actually know what they are… or if it’s private info.

Let me know!

So it’s like Glenn Beck?

Yes, except not offensive to people everywhere.

Thanks, internet

I knew it was an in-joke for a reason =(

People really like to excuse their actions on the internet with “it’s just the internet” but quite frankly I think that the way that you act when you genuinely believe your actions are of no consequence says much, much more about you than you might be willing to reveal to others

Truth

I don’t care how annoying I think it is.

But this poses a problem. I am attracted to Andrew Garfield.
