DEBATE: LGBTQ+ in the Church? | Andrew Wilson Vs Matthew J. Distefano
What was said
"If it's a race for power and the idea is that secularists are going to get it, or people who agree with me are going to get it, then I want the people who agree with me to get it, just like you want the people who agree with you to get it."
In a rare moment of philosophical alignment, both Wilson and DeStefano acknowledged their positions ultimately come down to competing preferences and a race for political power rather than objective moral truth. Wilson argued Christians should seek power to legislate against gay marriage, while DeStefano admitted he wants power to legislate for LGBTQ inclusion, with neither able to claim moral superiority beyond preference.
