The rhetoric reli on a “prodigal son” amg that checks out wh the Bible, which gay people are only valid as long as they turn away om their sexualy. (In the Bible story, the prodigal son’s wele was ntgent on his return the same way the evangelil church would only wele gay people on acunt of their nversn.
