to put it simply:

1. Homosexuality is not just mentioned in Leviticus

It’s pretty obvious that the change of season during Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is meant to symbolize Belle and the Beast’s changing feelings and attitudes toward each other. What I find particularly interesting is that it’s a fall-to-winter change, when more often our culture associates love and romance with springtime. 

But I don’t think it’s an accident that the film subverts our expectations by choosing wintry imagery instead–I think it serves a purpose.

Going to church for a non-churchgoer is awkward. It takes some courage to attend and it can be weird participating in a service that you’re unsure of in a room full of people you don’t know. But it might also be the beginning of something glorious, something that points to meaning where everything seems meaningless. And that, I think, is worth the messiness. I encourage you to check out a local church today and take that awkward first step toward something that’s amazing and meaningful.
