It's easy for straight, conservative Christians to underestimate the importance of spaces like the Pulse nightclub to the LGBTQ community. Gay bars aren't just places to party, they provide sanctuaries from a hostile world, so a massacre like we saw in Orlando strikes at the heart of that sense of safety.

Join John Freeman on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion about the spectrum of violence the LGBTQ community has endured. Instead of being on that spectrum, what if conservative Christians left our sanctuaries to love and serve the LGBTQ community in theirs? Wouldn't that look a lot like Jesus being a safe place for all of us?
