Riley Gaines

We're not allowed to do anything because we're not allowed to be seen as anything other than an ally to that community or else we'll lose our jobs. Again, the same community who's on the other side of the door calling these officers racist pigs for protecting a white girl like me.

Anyways, it's about midnight at this point, the middle of the night, and the dean of students shows up and starts negotiating with the students how much I owe each of them to be able to leave, which the price they agreed upon was $10 each, which makes me mad because I think I'm worth more than $10.

Eventually, we were able to get out of that room, but not because the protesters dispersed or were letting up, decided to go home. No, about, I mean, however many officers had to form a diamond around me, we pushed out. But the most remarkable part about this story is what happened the next day when the vice president of student affairs at the university sent out a university-wide email.

So to all faculty, all staff, the entire student body. And in this email, she said, we are so proud of our brave students for handling Riley Gaines in the manner that they did. We know how deeply traumatic her presence is on this campus. And so here's some counseling resources for you all. You know, take the day off of school. Just know that we see you. We love you.

We hear you and we stand with you. No mention of, of course, the condemnation of violence, violence against women for that matter. No mention of the value in upholding free speech. No, of course not. I could tell story after story after story of being spit on, of people throwing glass bottles at me, pouring drinks on me for hours.

But again, that shift that we've seen, and to, I mean, to be very clear, from the beginning, the support has been tenfold compared to the negative. But you compare three years ago to now, a lot of the support at the beginning was in privacy or in secrecy or in direct messages or done through winks or whispers. That has totally shifted now.

People are so much more bold in saying men cannot become women.

Well, precisely like Jesus did. I think we have. I did for a long time. I knew Jesus, of course, was filled with grace. I knew he was filled with truth. But I believed in my mind he was 50% grace and 50% truth. That is not the truth. He is 100% grace and 100% truth at all times. Let's actually compare something like the bishop that we saw. Bishop is a stretch.

That service that President Trump got walked into, I believe whoever walked him into that service serves to lose their job. But did you see the female bishop who was very, very quick to speak of God's grace like any progressive pastor is?

Admittedly, as a Christian, there wasn't a whole lot she said that I disagreed with from the standpoint of understanding and knowing that we have a God who loves all. But what that bishop left out, what our culture tends to leave out, but what the Bible does not leave out is what happens next in the story. I think of stories like 1 John, right?
