So the broad scholarly consensus in the fields of history, anthropology, religious studies, etc, is that much of the globalized anti-LGBT sentiment we see today was imported, particularly through Christian colonialism and the spread of Abrahamic religious frameworks.

Most other religious frameworks did not originally carry this level of anti-LGBT sentiment. There is no doctrinal reason among them, it is primarily cultural influence stemming from colonialism.

I'm curious among the affirming crowd here, how do you all rationalize or conceptualize the role of Christianity here? Is it not concerning for you guys the role this religion has had in the oppression of large swaths of the population?

There are a number of books and papers that go deep into this topic:

• Kapya Kaoma - Christianity, Globalization, and Protective Homophobia: Democratic Contestation of Sexuality in Sub-Saharan Africa

• Robert Aldrich - Colonialism and Homosexuality

• Louis-Georges Tin - The Dictionary of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience

• Phillip M. Ayoub - The Global Fight Against LGBTI Rights: How Transnational Conservative Networks Target Sexual and Gender Minorities

Has Boost considered expanding its app distribution beyond the Google Play Store and Apple App Store by publishing on third-party App Store platforms such as Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc.?

Rationale:

• Wider Reach: Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc. have millions of active users globally and do not impose regional restrictions, allowing Boost to reach users who may not have access to Play Store in their region.
• Increased Accessibility: These stores support older Android versions and offer previous app versions, making Boost accessible to users with legacy devices.
• No Upfront Fees: Developers can publish apps on Aptoide, F-Droid, and Uptodown for free, with flexible monetization options and no payment required for distribution.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Uptodown, F-droid, Aptoide, etc. allow users to download, update, or roll back app versions easily, which can improve user satisfaction and retention.
• Security and Trust: These platforms prioritize app security, with Uptodown using tools like VirusTotal for malware scanning and Aptoide employing a blockchain-based approval system.

Summary:
Listing Boost on Aptoide, Uptodown, F-Droid, etc. would make the app more accessible worldwide, especially to users outside the reach of mainstream app stores, and could help grow Boost's user base without additional distribution costs.
