46. No, Bucky... Arwalden is right...

As sad as it is, the only experiences I've ever had with people saying "I'll pray for you" have happened when they were going out of their way to be condescending and judgemental without, in their minds, seeming to. Most people who say that do NOT understand how utterly offensive a statement it is.

The only times I've ever heard anyone say it is when they are trying to say "I think you're a sickfuck sinner but I'mm too Christian to actually say it." They usually do this when they find out I'm gay.

The phrase "I'll pray for you", to gay people, has a very different meaning.
