Radical Inclusivity

Outlaw Preachers speak often about Radical Inclusivity and welcoming ALL to the table. i do not think it works. One, i am queer, and inviting people who hate and despise me makes it not safe for me to be there. Two, someone will always be excluded and those who hate and despise others already self-exclude in my honest opinion. Fundamentalist Christians already have a place at the table and church communities that support them and love them. WHY invite them to the Outlaw Preachers? WHAT is your motivation? To convert them to your way of thinking? That is an agenda and not very honest. Otherwise, you are inviting people who perpetuate violence to an already disenfranchised group of people. Often, Queer people do NOT have a place at the table, and by inviting people who do not wish to be invited is wrong in my opinion. Often these fundamentalist Christians rip apart the Outlaw Preachers and do not wish to be involved with them. WHY in G-D's name would you want to include them then? i do NOT understand this mentality. G-D is about love and love has boundaries and is tough sometimes. It says "NO!" to bad behaviour and sets some tough boundaries. What i see in the Outlaw Preachers is "ANYTHING GOES"! i am NOT about this mentality and have pulled out of the Outlaw Preachers. i have no intention of being a part of something that welcomes hate. Too many queers stay in the closet, self-hate and self loathe, and even go as far as committing suicide. THIS is NOT ok with me to see this all happening. Many on the far right of Christianity, in their unrlenting certainty, perpetuate all this hate that contributes to queers to go through all these things. IT IS WRONG PEOPLE! It must not be tolerated. i am so sick of the platitudes and idealism of LOVE WINS! Hate STILL exists and is not going away.
