So I am not surprised that we disagree about what our shared God calls us to do. I am surprised that you refuse to acknowledge it. In all the letters you write, the comments you make in social media, the interviews you give, the things you shout at rallies and demonstrations, you give no indication that we disagree about the place of LGBTQ people in Christianity. Instead you arrogantly claim your position as THE Christian position. And I cannot allow you to do that anymore, because what you have done goes beyond a theological interpretation; you are causing (and I am borrowing the words of a friend whom you’ve targeted) “spiritual violence” to people with your words, and your actions, and as a Christian I am called to stop you.

And it is spiritual violence. Every time we decide another person will be judged, or that God has determined a whole part of that person’s very identity is sinful, that is spiritually violent. And it does serious damage.
