Everyone who believes. I identify as queer and born-again...and i don't see conflict between those. I appriciate it when queer isn't in the same sentence as murdering, molestation, and "basically everything bad one can think of." yeah, actually, i *really* appriciate it when that conflation isn't made.

To your question. think of a parent who never let their kids grow up...never let them have any experience that hurt them. it's not just a bad idea...it's all but child abuse. to shelter a being with moral agency from the possibility of making bad choices is to destroy them.
