At the end of the day, a church winds up with public money in their coffers, and that makes this wrong. I can't believe this church is the only possible venue available for a graduation.

I'm impressed and grateful to this young man and to so many of his generation for their ethics and for their courage to stand up against oppression.

"'We welcome everyone,' [Pastor Troy Dobbs] wrote."

Okay, you welcome LGBTQ+ people to sit in church quietly and give you their money while you slander and condemn them.

Do you tell your congregation to welcome them to the neighborhood? To invite them and their same-sex partners over for dinner? To welcome them to the bowling league? The bridge club? The quilting group? To chat pleasantly with them the grocery store?

Do you tell your congregation to do all those and other simple, common decencies, but to always keep thinking that they're HELL-BENT EVIL PEDOPHILE GROOMERS PLOTTING TO TURN EVERY KID IN TOWN GAY?

Is that what you mean by "welcome"?

Your hypocritical religion is welcome to continue its extinction.
