I think it’s good to acknowledge their grief, but I think we need to grow accustomed to this.

What he is saying though has a more malevolent outcome than just the lost community. The Christians he’s alluding to don’t recognize others as Christians, you may belong to a church and your church may have a significant history not only in the USA but world wide, but in their eyes you are something else. As other, they don’t really consider that you have rights, or that you are not deserving of rights.

I feel sad for the people of what used to be called “mainstream” Christian denominations that haven’t realized that Christian doesn’t mean what it used to.
