what would you call 2 plus years of livestreamed child holocaust, if not state inflicted terrorism?

I’d like to host a respectful talk on HL, between a Queer pastor/theologian and someone with the perspective of Jerome Gay, maybe Jerome himself. I don’t have the scriptural knowledge to have the conversation, but I cannot in any way subscribe to the idea of a God that would create a being that had to sacrifice a fundamental part of themself for eternal paradise. To intelligently design someone to love someone and denote that love as sin, seems hopelessly cruel. I truly, 100%, don’t understand. What I do know is that the idea that Queerness is sin has underwritten enormous suffering to a group of people who dare be born the way they are. If that God is your God. That God cannot be my God. There has to be something I’m missing. Please suggest some names of people I can study and engage with.

The left tells us that the most important thing about you is the color of your skin. The right tells us that the most important thing about you is the fact that you're an American.
