Needless to say, I did not respond in a supportive manner:
The Galatians 3:28 Movement is a grassroots Christian movement (of all denominations) demanding civil rights and marriage equality for all people — straight, gay, of any race, of any orientation, non-cisgendered, etc. This movement has no leadership and is completely organic.
Galatians 3:28 states: “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Now, many people get the first part about race not being important to Jesus (but unfortunately not everyone does as there are still tons racists around). But most people ignore the second half where Jesus explicitly denies the importance of gender. For Jesus, gender and gender differences are unimportant.
Then why do we still insist that marriage be between a “man and a woman”? This outdated, non-Christian way of thinking only highlights gender difference, the exact thing Jesus was trying to get away from.
In other words, for marriage, your gender does not matter. Marriage can be between a man and a woman; two men; two women; or between transgendered people. Jesus loves everyone. And that is what Galatians 3:28 is all about. Marriage equality and civil rights.
Share some love. Spread the word of Christ. Support marriage equality and civil rights.
Another verse springs to mind. Namely, Isaiah 5:20.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
One certainly can’t say that America doesn’t fully merit a plague or two these days.
