Additional comments....

Have you had any hurtful experiences through the Christian church?

Yes, I had to leave a church job to avoid standing up for anti-marriage politics.  This
derailed my career for 2 years.

Have you found the Christian church helpful to you?

Depends on the denomination.   Some who call themselves Christians are at war
with us.  Some who believe in all the gospel are conduits of God's love for each
other and for us.

Is there anything you would like to say to the church?

In the name of God, please stop hijacking my faith.  Read the bible, and let it change
you.
