I do wish pieces like this, which talk about how “heterosexual” and “homosexual” are recently manmade labels (I agree with that!–in fact Benson quotes me agreeing with it), would give some sense of what it means for straight people to get beyond those labels. Otherwise you end up sounding like only gay people have to change how we relate to the Church. It can sound very “I don’t see race,” which is one of those things white people say. Like, good for you, you ignore a huge part of other people’s lives, community, history, and struggle?
