“but because our liberation is bound up together“ Thisssssss. This.

I also appreciate what you said about the word romantic. The definition of romantic says a lot before it ever gets to the sexual aspects. It’s a word connotations deep love and affection. And straight, cis females get the luxury of romantic stuff all the time. Like very romantic. But it’s somehow crossing a line when male (frankly probably queer or cis/straight)? Vulnerability, love and intimacy needs to be normalized across all gender expressions in friendships.

Great article!

Carl Trueman is a very smart man & a good scholar, but I think he's fundamentally confused about LGBT stuff. I reviewed his book here:
