Sarah, it seemed like your post came from nowhere. Like Ned said before, this is a writing blog and while that's not 100% of the content it's never been about posting religious or political beliefs. If those are your views you need to keep them to yourself. Coming to this blog and looking for support was not the right thing to do. Furthermore, considering the title of your post, why post it at all? You must have known the mess you were getting yourself into.
Like what Heather said, Cori has a girlfriend and had felt safe enough to come out and tell us that on this blog. This is a safe space and always has been. I don't think you really understand the importance of that. So many queer kids are taking their lives and to have a place like, even if it is online, but a place where you can truly be you is so important especially at this point in all our lives for whatever reason.
Deleting the post was for everyone, but deleting and remaining silent was not the best way to go about things. Everyone would feel better if you could just own up to your mistakes. Hell, we all make them. We're not saying having an opinion is a mistake, we're saying that posting that opinion on this blog was a mistake.
We just feel like a trust was broken. There is now this awkward silence where no one knows what to say or what they can say so they wont feel judged, hated or scrutinized by anyone. Then again you know what they say, every time there's an awkward silence.... a gay baby is born.
We think you are so talented and we do feel like we are friends. I think that's why we're okay to say these things. Friends hurt each other, and the real test is who stays and works it out. We don't want to lose you. We want you to understand.
Yes you did research, but anyone can find info to back them up on anything and anyone can counter with the same amount if not more. Anyone can pervert religion to say what they want it to, good or bad. I have read most of the bible, and it's extremely unclear as to what it dictates for right and wrong and each individual takes from it what they want. Take a look at this. That's the church that I go to with my moms every sunday. We hear the word of God. We pray. We're gay.
We hope you feel safe enough to admit your mistake. We love you.

Sage and Ned
