This letter is a response to the editorial cartoon that ran in the September 9, 2015 issue. Wow! If all-caps is emphasis in a text message then I’m thinking the Shenemen cartoon in the Wednesday issue of The Daily Gamecock is a screamer, based upon the column inches allocated to it. First, I do not disagree with the opinion expressed, as I am one of those “religious folks” who not only eats bacon, but has spent my adult life and ministry affi rming and promoting the rights of others in the LGBTQ communities. I am part of a Christian denomination that has grappled with this issue and come out the other side as an affi rming church that welcomes all. As a matter of fact, while many of the most popular religious organizations on campus are fi lled with folks who do not affi rm what they call “alternative” or non-biblical lifestyles, we do have represented on campus several that are affi rming and welcoming. Second, I wish we could have a more open and honest conversation about the connection between human sexuality and religious or spiritual practice or wellness. In my role as a religious worker on campus, there are lots of conversations where the convergence of these two concepts seem contradictory, yet when it is engaged, folks fi nd more common ground than they believed possible.
