“If heaven won’t stand up for traditional family values, then we’ll have to find some other place.”
Some are comparing the move to attempts to boycott heaven over its opposition to segregation.
“This is completely different. That was based on a false reading of the bible, and on racism. This is based on a true reading of the bible. Matthew 19 clearly states that [G’d] created people male and female, and therefore, any kind of homo- or trans-sexualism is a rebellion against [G’d].”
Supporters are confident that heaven will outlast the boycott.
“They’ve included trans people for as long as they’ve been around,” one supporter said. “They’ve announced this policy several times, across many religious traditions, but it has rarely attracted attention.”
*Note: Most conservative Christians spell out G’d, but most early Christians abbreviated G’d [Θ’Σ, D’S, Γ’ΨS, etc.] so I’ve tried to follow the latter practice.
**Note 2: Matthew 19 also points out the existence of intersex people, unlike its counterparts in Mark and Luke, so to me it seems to contradict the conservative reading of it. And I can’t see how to get from the passage to the conservative reading.
