The Toxic Lie of ‘Me Before You’
Samuel James:
I watched Me Before You in a full theater, with as many teenagers as there were seniors. As time passed, I couldn’t help but wonder: Who’s in here, and what are their stories? I wondered if, among those who felt their heart moved, there were any teenage girls who had suffered sexual abuse and felt worthless, dirty, and disqualified from the love story they’d always wanted. I wondered if the 70-year-old man in front of me might think he’s a “burden” to his children and grandchildren, that everyone might be better off if it weren’t so, if he weren’t so.

Before Coming Out: A Gap in the Christian Conversation
Brad Hambrick:
What would the fruit of these conversations be? The only honest answer is, “We don’t know.” Might Trey have still chosen to identify as gay? Maybe. However, might not carrying 20 years of shame have influenced his sense of attraction? Possibly. Would being known (not feeling fake, as carrying a unsharable secret makes us all feel) and loved by his family, friends, and church impact a sense of inauthenticity and emptiness? Undoubtedly. Would it have helped him make a more informed choice about marriage, career, or children? Probably.
