Theology of the Church in the Age of Heterosexuality

Alicia: You have to understand the degree of heterosexism that existed in the church at that time. To be gay was to be completely unchristian, to walk away from God,. On the news, queer people, gay men were called sexual perverts on the news. So you have a theology that was formed in this atmosphere of just real extreme likeheterosexism and bigotry towards queer peopleThat's never been re-examined. That's a huge part of the issue. Alicia: I think it is a responsibility of those of us who are in the majority to have a listening ear for minority communities.
