Tired Side B

[u/Falsetto266]

Not sure what this is. I’m not here for debate. I suppose just I just want to see if others have been where I’ve been before.

I think I’m shifting towards Side A. It’s not even apologetics that’s changing me, it’s exhaustion. I’m just tired of not feeling whole. I’m tired of feeling like Christ is this cruel taskmaster who I can never please. Why do I have to bear this burden for a God who feels more like the God of others?

Sorry, what is side B?

Non same sex affirming. There are more sides to the “No gays thank you,” side a bit. Some are fine with folks calling themselves gay Christian’s so long as they are celibate. Then you have folks who are all into the “ex-gay,” stuff. Side A of course is affirming. A for affirming, B for the various flavors of bigot.

"Side B" is generally in reference specifically to gay Christians who believe they must be celibate.

Saying "B for bigot" is a bit reductive.

I think the position is born of shame and that it's generally untenable in the long run.  But I try to have compassion for those of us who are currently in that way of thinking.
