Gays love
This Valentine’s Day is the first age in 20 years I have a valentine, and she also happens to be my first girlfriend in a lesbian relationship.
As I wrote in an essay around last Valentine’s Day, I never had much LGBTQ representation in my life. The only time people around me spoke about the LGBTQ community was to condemn it. I was led to believe the confusing feelings inside me were my control fault and that I was choosing a lifestyle that would lead to eternal damnation.
However, I also grew up during the go up of social media. Through new platforms like Tumblr and Instagram, I set up “The 100,” which was a representative mid-2010s dystopian television show with a ‘strong female lead’ struggling to determine between two almost identical guys for her romantic interest — until it wasn’t.
Clarke, the show’s female lead, started dating one of the first womxn loving womxn characters I’d seen on television, Lexa. Their relationship meant a lot to me at age 14 and although I was a fan of the young adult genre, I’d rarely seen LGBTQ characters that validated my identity.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Lexa was killed off in the show. I remember the backlash from LGBTQ fans that

M3GAN, a.k.a. Model 3 Generative Android, has rocketed straight to the top of homosexual iconography. It’s not like the movie’s marketing team targeted us directly. As such, the movie’s success doesn’t hinge on queer endorsement. M3GAN’s got it nonetheless, but how did the familiar story of AI gone wrong secure its gay following?
First, what makes a gay icon? Can anyone answer without betraying the extent to which their opinion is shaped by real gay people? An legend is not purely superficial. If it really were just about looks, then Bros would own warranted the attention it clamored for. Yes, M3GAN is fierce. She is the moment. Any gay colloquialism we stole from Ebony people applies. Drawn from a reference pool teeming with potential, her attitude, fashion sense, tune taste, and psychopathic theatrics are definitively camp. In limited, M3GAN is more true to herself than some human beings.

It can be really disappointing. And studies show that that feeling of feeling really related, feeling really at one, lasts an average of about two years. So then what? That’s when you have to really open feeding that relationship. That meal for the relationship I ponder happens naturally in those start stages. But after that initial period of oneness starts to wear off, I think we have to be more intentional about it, and come up with specific strategies to hold it feeling to keep us feeling connected to our partner.

(BP) — “Why doesn’t God love gays?” a teenager asked during our youth ministry period the other night. It was sort of out of the blue since the discussion was on the return of Jesus, but clearly it was on the heart of at least one, if not many, of the teens there that night. I appreciate this teen’s boldness to ask! It’s a interrogate this generation has had to wrestle with that previous generations did not. In fact, the speed with which the topic of homosexuality has advance to dominate the social and political conversation is staggering, aided by what pastor Voddie Baucham described as “a coordinated, well-funded, well-connected propaganda strategy” in a 2012 article at The Gospel Coalition. The movement has become like a snowflake that turns into an avalanche, demolishing any opposition in the general arena, and it’s still growing. Without a doubt, many young people are lost. They’re hearing in pop culture and maybe even in their schools that homosexuality is a perfectly legitimate lifestyle that not only should be tolerated but celebrated and explored.
