How many cross-dressing Republican lawmakers who claim to be “fervent Baptists” do you know?
There’s at least one — Sam Walls, near Ft. Worth. After photos circulated of Sam in a wig, high heels, and a dress, Republican buddies said, “It would have been much better judgment for him not to have run.”
Meanwhile, Sam claims to have “dealt with” his cross-dressing impulses, having asked forgiveness for them.
My heart goes out to Sam. He’s one of millions of people who have invested enormous time and energy hiding and “dealing with” the kind of secrets that lurk in the lives of almost everyone I’ve ever known who describes themselves as “fervent” anythings.
Which, I confess, is what worries me most about our current leadership. In my experience, anyone who has to constantly remind me he’s aligned with God probably isn’t … and probably has a great deal to hide, to boot.
