By Chrissy Stroop

…t post on evangelical reactions to Caitlin Jenner’s transition, I tweeted: https://twitter.com/C_Stroop/status/608641069195001856 LGBTQ homelessness and suicide are natural consequences of the perpetuation of views denying the full humanity of lesbian, gay, bi, pan, trans, queer, and all non-heteronormative individuals.
