On Friday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a directive that undercuts protections for queer Americans. One LGBTQ rights activist called Sessions’ directive a “license to discriminate.” On the other hand, conservative Christian leaders and organizations are enthused about the development. Progressive Christian denominations and queer theologians have for years been preaching and practicing a gospel of love and inclusion. These leaders are fully aware of the toxic fruit that conservative theology produces in the lives of queer Christians and other queer Americans. And on a broader scale, they believe that when queer Christians suffer, the entire body of Christ also suffers.
