I love my macdoc fics, loved writing them, love the characters. BUT. I’m a Christian. I believe in obeying God, even when, especially when, it goes against my own ideas/inclinations.

The Bible has strong things to say against homosexual relationships. By modern standards, most people would call me homophobic.

I disagree. Homosexuals are human, valuable, and should be treated with dignity and respect. That’s my firm belief. Things like conversion therapy and all the other abuses are evil. They’re sins and NOT in keeping with how Christians are ordered to treat other humans. Now, a lot of you may argue that the Bible doesn’t condemn homosexual relationships and I don’t know. I used to agree, but some of the language is pretty clear, particularly in Paul’s letters. And here’s the thing and this is where people are going to get mad (more mad?) at me:

I care more about God’s view on things, than I do yours, than I do mine. I value you, I love you, but God decides what is right and what is wrong. I’m trying to get close to God and that means obeying him. I can’t call Him my Lord and my God, then disregard his Word. So, as a Christian, I can’t promote and dabble in what He says to avoid. Even if modern theory is correct and homosexual relationships and my stories are innocent, I would rather make a willing sacrifice, a permanent fast if you will, of something innocent, than risk standing in opposition to God.

He means that much to me and I submit myself to His authority.

Mac and Murdoc both being male was never what made me like them as a pairing. What drew me to them is their personalities and the way they interact together. I love redemption stories and enemies to friends/lovers/families. I love stories where love conquers and extinguishes hate. That’s why I wrote those stories.

I’m sorry, if anyone is hurt by all of this. I don’t want to hurt anyone or be hurt, either. But, this is where I am.
