I don't think it's the right time or place to fight over this. But now that we are here, just trying to understand.
If the narrative was different, if these weren't gay people, but instead murderers or pedophiles. And if their fellow community members were proudly supporting their crimes. Would we have this same discussion? Would we say that these people deserved to die?
Or if a disaster strikes an ISIS mosque, would we say we understand God's actions? Why?
