Parton’s version of love, which includes condoning immoral sexual behavior (“be who you are,” she’s said), is unaligned with God’s vision for humanity. Like so many secularized spiritual leaders, Parton equates love with agreement, but the two are not reciprocal. Love doesn’t mean we must accept sinfulness as good to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
It’s a reminder to be careful when looking to cultural Christians to light the way. For example, we love to hear Stephen Colbert testify about following Christ, but when he rants against the overturn of Roe v. Wade, it’s clear he’s misguided.
Similarly, in the same week that Parton mentioned her upbringing in church, The Advocate (a large circulation magazine) called her an “LGBTQ+ icon.” And her rhinestone-studded flashy outfits, big hair, and infamous chest have inspired many a drag queen. That’s not her fault, but she does seem to indulge it.

In some weird way, let them show their ass like this behind their “epic troll” chanspeak.
CHUDs are the Pearl-clutching fun police at best and all literal orcs born to destroy everything in sight in service to their dark lord at worst.
The sooner more everyday people see them less as edgy rebels against ‘wokeness’ and more as a bunch of smug, holier-than-thou Karens, the better.
The right has gained a lot of ground by weaponizing moral envy against us, so we can weaponize moral envy against them. We’re like the oh so tolerant meat-eaters, we just want people to be able to “sin” in peace without being judged.
