Quote:A writer at the evangelical website The Gospel Coalition has responded to actor Elliot Page coming out as transgender by asking the important question: WHY ISN’T EVERYONE PAYING ATTENTION TO ME INSTEAD?!
Becket Cook was a self-described “fully engaged gay man” back in the day. Then he found Jesus. Now he’s just a gay man who refuses to have sex with other men. That’s fine. That’s his decision. No one actually cares.
But he cannot believe Page is getting so much positive press when his identity violates the Christian God’s Master Plan. In his bigoted screed, Cook proceeds to deadname Page, use incorrect pronouns on purpose, use quotation marks around “he,” and says Page “announced her decision to become a man” as if Page flipped some sort of magically switch by choice.
Poor baby. I suppose it hasn't occurred to Cook that Page is a famous movie star and Cook isn't. This is fundamentally why Page gets press and Cook doesn't.
Dennis Quaid got married the same year I did, but did I make the cover of 'Celebrity Gossip Quarterly'? No, but you don't hear me bitching about the unfairness of it all.
