Ad Dorotheum II

On Sex, Gender, and Archetype

Grant,

All God’s love. Last time I wrote you, it was to sketch out what I described as the trilemma for LGBTQ+ Christians, as far as I can understand it: to either closet themselves, be open about their identities while being dissident from the teachings of their communions, or to be open about their identities and embrace celibacy. I did not take a stance on which they should do, other than to say that they should not do the first if they can safely avoid it, as being dishonest with ourselves and with others about who we are is a proven source of danger for our psychological and sometimes physical well-being, and as LGBTQ+ Christians are my siblings in Christ, I want only what is good for them, even as I do not profess to know what that is, and even as I acknowledge that they do not all agree between themselves about what that should be.
