I am an atheist watching this, so take it for what it's worth. Some folks in the video wondered why LGBTQ+ people would often not feel safe in Christian spaces. But a lot of the time in the video is spent debating whether or how or why being LGBTQ+ is wrong. So, why would an LGBTQ+ person feel safe in a space where that topic is debated - is their existence wrong, or is it only that they choose to act on their existence? Put it this way: if there was a space where a LOT of time was spent debating whether Christianity is wrong, a mental defect, naive, or benign - even if they decide after all that discussion that it's benign, Christians won't likely feel comfortable in that space. Why? Because no one wants to be in spaces where their acceptance is constantly debated.

[@authorjoannawhite]

It's not LGBTQ peoples existence that's being debated. You guys exist (clearly and obviously). What's debated is whether acting upon a desire a person has that's wrong makes it a sin or simply having that wrong desire in the first place. The act of being with someone of the same sex is wrong and sinful. But so is adultry between straight people. So the debate in the latter case would be whether a person is wrong simply for having the desire to commit adultry and cheat on their spouse or whether its only wrong if they act upon that desire.

No one in the Roe v Wade part has anything to say about whether it was actually the correct legal decision for the Supreme Court to be making. They made it about their personal pro-life/pro-choice stances. The Supreme Court's job is to rule based on the language of the Constitution and the precedents it sets. They are judges, not lawmakers. If you want to talk about which laws should be in effect either at a state or federal level, that's a different conversation than whether the Supreme Court is making rulings based off accurate interpretations of what the Constitution says.

Coming in and out of childrens lives so quickly can cause abandonment issues as well as poor self-worth due to the constant comparisons and rhetoric.

[@JackSmith-ns1uq]

There are certainly harmful ways to do mission trips but thats not the majority. There are a ton of ways for the local church to support missions. The first is to help train and equip the people in that country/area so that they can do their own ministry. The second is sending out long-term missionaries and planting churches. For short-term missions (which is what you primarily referred to), you partner with missionaries/organizations that are already established wherever you are going, that way you can support something thats already well established within the community. My church does all of the above, as well as every church within our network. As for it being “colonialism” I find that comment curious as its usually made by people fully support (and often partake) in modern day colonialism which is pushing Western ideas onto other cultures via the internet/media. Because of the internet we dont need to travel to countries to colonize them with our culture/ideas, and so much of the world that doesnt share western culture ideology is significantly more poor, significantly more happy and also very late to internet/media. Because of that, primarily progressives look down on these cultures because they have much more conservative lifestyle views, primarily in areas of race, gender and LGTBQ. I certainly dont agree with all of those ideas (polygamy, incest, and sleeping with minors are also cultural things Ive seem in different parts of the world), but technically if you come into their culture and tell them to do anything otherwise then your colonizing them.
