"Celibacy is not enough for Gagnon, he wants to take away even platonic forms of kinship that provide much needed familial support."

I find this line of thinking particularly cruel and offensive.

"If you are gay, you must be lonely, and never have deep friendships"

Yes, it's deeply troubling.

I was really disappointed for Preston Sprinkle's podcast episode from earlier this year (Laurie Krieg was the guest - and also targeted), when he was responding to attacks from Rosaria Butterfield and Christopher Yuan in various podcasts that they did.

But Preston and Lauries discussion was that "Spiritual friendships" were too dangerous, and trying to "cross the line".

Preston should know better, from his conversations with you, with Justin Lee, and others. And I respect the work that both Preston and Laurie do on the Side B side.
