Is all that glitters really gold?  Much like gossip, glitter can make everything appear shiny and fun, but in the end its insidious nature often leaves you with a pile of sparkly shit. (No really; there’s a pill for that.)

So much judgment towards the LGBT+ community involves how bodies are experienced, enjoyed, and consumed, but we’re taking scripture’s lead on this topic! Even Matthew 15:11 says it’s not what goes in your mouth, it’s what comes out that matters most.  We don’t need a clearer message; you can suck a d*** and still love the Lord.
