Orthodox “pastors” and “theologians” who spew a never-ending stream of homophobia and transphobia from the comfort of their laptops consistently deny any complicity in the suicide and murder of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. “We are simply speaking the truth!” “We love the sinner, but hate his sin!” “Aw, those poor, fragile, suicidal teenagers!”
Orthodoxy in Dialogue goes on record to assert: If your “truth” and your “love” provide the discursive incentive for even one suicide, even one case of infanticide, it is neither true nor loving, nor is your “gospel” good news. Your “theology” is poison. In your pornographic obsession with techniques of “gay sex” you cover your eyes and stop your ears to the indisputable fact that children start to become aware of their orientation from their earliest memories, long before they have any idea of what “sex” is — “gay” or otherwise.
Do not run for shelter under the fact that this sweet child was abused long before his coming out: no one ever murdered a little boy for saying he likes girls.
If you think Orthodoxy in Dialogue has an “agenda,” we wear it as a badge of honour. We would rather have an “agenda” than blood on our hands.
Grant rest eternal in blessed repose, O Lord, to the soul of Thy child Anthony who has fallen asleep, and may his memory be eternal.
Memory eternal. Memory eternal. Memory eternal.
Anthony Avalos came out as gay in recent weeks, and authorities are now investigating whether homophobia played a role in the death of the 10-year-old Lancaster boy, a county official said.
Anthony was found mortally wounded at his home last week with severe head injuries and cigarette burns covering his body.
Brandon Nichols, deputy director of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, revealed in an interview Monday that Anthony “said he liked boys” but declined to provide more details, including whom the boy told and when.
Nichols said the criminal investigation of the deadly abuse is ongoing.
Anthony’s aunt, Maria Barron, said it would have taken great courage for Anthony to have announced he was gay in the home.
This article and the one following will attempt to outline in brief a framework for the systematic comparison of Orthodox and Islamic theology. I hope to develop this framework in future writings in a much fuller fashion, given the importance that I believe it could have for future Orthodox-Islamic relationships. These relations are deeply historically grounded, but also deeply politicized by reductive nationalisms in the modern period.
