it means that in this imperfect world we're going to have struggles if in the context of LGBT people that is their struggle and the fruit of the spirit is self-control I would say that self-control applies to eating junk food or drinking alcohol I would say it applies to lots of things but not about limiting who you are as a human being okay that's time thank you was that nice?

yeah I think so I think so

I did a lot of reflection before I decided to come today.

I think sometimes when it's platforming negative views that are really harmful, it can just be harmful.

But I really thought that this conversation could be productive, and I think in many ways it was.

Regardless of what the topic may be, finding a middle ground, meeting with people that you don't agree with is something that we don't do.

I'm glad that this is a space where we can all come together and share our opinions without fear of violence.

Cause unfortunately that's something we see a lot of nowadays.

I didn't feel surrounded by the enemy.

And I think that that's so important.

These people didn't hate me.

I didn't hate them.

We want the same things.

We're using different information and that's why it feels like we're in different realities.

And so we just have to close the gap.

I'm a community organizer and my job is to find commonalities that people have and shared goals that we have and successful ways to work towards them so that we can build a better quality of life for ourselves and a better future for the incoming generations.

And I think that every single person here today wants that.

And I think that there's a broken idea of how we get there.
