This must to be a warning to everyone, that we will increasingly be under pressure to compromise not only natural truths, but ultimately the Truth of the Gospel. Courage to stand in the face of this is only assured by faith, and by not compromising on the little issues of truth and so reducing our reservoir of courage.
I feel so sorry for her. The torment of going against the truth so publicly must be unbearable. Another victim. It reminds me of the Hunger Games. Saying what will please the crowds to keep you in favour. Such Bats times and not just covid.
It also just occurred to me - is there a difference between education and conversion therapy in the current situation and with definitions changing? I just can’t keep up.
To tell the truth so blatantly .... then to retract the comments and go with "the lie" shows what power and intimidation we're under from this minority group. My husband wisely said " if same sex marriage gets passed, it will open the flood gates for this kind of thing!"
The pressure is real! I don't blame Macy. I mean, I wish she'd stood her ground. But she probably had more to lose than most. This won't end until everyone pushes back every time.
Heretics have always faced the same choice. Recant or be burnt at the stake. I wonder how long before there literally start burning heretics at the stake.
James, perhaps if Macy Gray had not entered the fray until after considerable record sales (compromise), she may have been able to stand firm on her transgression. Then repentance and re-education would not be her lot.

I agree JD.

As good a summary as my 800 word article! lol
Dennis Denuto would be upset by such a weak use of “the Vibe.”

And look what's happened!
He was right. 😫

Once again "Nothing new under the sun".

It's exactly the same impulse. Only the degree is different.
“It’s the constitution, it’s Mabo, it’s justice, it’s law, it’s the vibe." The Castle, way ahead of its time.
P.S Always enjoy your talent at story-telling James.
These are fun stories to tell! They lend themselves to fun!

I guess that’s only a ‘pipe dream’
