“Not all conservative Christians are like that.”

Okay look.

If you’re a senior in high school, and your freshman little sister comes up to you with bloody scraped knees and tears all over her face crying, “I hate seniors! They always bully me!” you don’t stand there and lecture her on why she shouldn’t label all seniors as bullies.

You don’t fucking do that shit.

You say, “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure those seniors don’t pick on you.“

You take responsibility for protecting her.

Because she’s your little sister. And she can’t fight bullies on her own.

That’s how privilege fucking works. Women, gay people, black people, trans people, Muslims, every single minority in the United States—they’re the little sisters getting beat up by your fellow upperclassmen. You don’t make it their responsibility. YOU TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO HELP THEM.
