    I’m surprised by this, I thought this guy was basically a socialist.

      No, he’s a guy who’s desperately trying to market a crusty old religion to a population that gets more tolerant and progressive with each generation. They’ve just barely started pretending they dont actively hate gay people, it’ll be a few more decades before they do anything like that for trans people.

      Funny how God seems to change his mind about social issues whenever the pews start getting empty.

        Yup, this is basically “ok, I’ve said some tolerant things about gay people, can’t let the hardliners think I’m out of control, let me make sure I repeat the whole “man and woman are specifically created by god” thing
