example, “love is love” isn’t really a call for us to love gay people by recognizing their innate worth as human beings and treat them with kindness; it’s a call to legally redefine marriage and family. “Black lives matter” isn’t just a true statement about the value of black people; it’s a call to political change, which typically includes removing funding from police forces and redistributing wealth to black Americans.
Exactly! And that's what's so frustrating about it. I have no issues, not one, recognizing the innate worth of any human or human life. In fact, if anyone does, I'm the first one to step up talking trash (you want some of this? Because I may have cerebral palsy, but I will sacrifice my manicure giving it to you, you punk)! But so many people, including professing Christians, have twisted that moral obligation around to mean, "Agree with everything I do or else." It's...ugh! Help me, Jesus!
