I can't put myself in his shoes. I can only try. But honestly.....i would bet Luke isn't surprised nor hurt more than usual by Reimer's dumb comment. He probably expects there are some relics of the past that think like this. But they are dwindling.
In fact, i'm betting Luke and other members feel a little bit better and better as time passes, as he knows that there is a VAST majority of folks that grows in size all the time who support him including Christians like myself. I think we are in a better place now than we were 10 years ago. And in another 10 years we are going to be even better.
In the mean time? Feck Reimer et al. He didn't have to make this choice.
He could have his beliefs AND support the community. They are not mutually exclusive. I need to understand different kinds of Christian faith maybe, but i'm pretty sure wearing a pride jersey to show caring/support for others who need it doesn't trample on his faith but rather it is in keeping with it.
