Again, I will not argue prejudicial treatment has not occurred against conservatives and evangelicals in The Episcopal Church. Nor do I sanction it. But let's be clear: they still, by virtue of their beliefs and practices, have a leg up in the broader society, in the Anglican Communion, and in the world. They retain many privileges LGBT Christians still cannot have, even in some of the most liberal dioceses of The Episcopal Church.
For this reason, cries of generalized oppression here ring a little hollow to me, particularly as applied to over a quarter of the membership in this Province, and lend little of substance to the conversation. Meanwhile, LGBT people around the world are dying every day and being turned away from Christian community simply because of who they are.
