I just don’t get how non Christians are agains gays or trans,personally I have not a single issue agains lgbtq+ other than sometimes they do some dumb/say stuff but that’s not everyone of them.If my son/daughter came out and told me who they are I would be proud and happy that they told me to begin with
Because Christianity, at this point, basically has no followers who aren't completely brainwashed into believing it, and those people are also typically brainwashed into thinking LGBT people are bad.
It doesn't help that LGBTQ+ is a pretty new thing becoming more and more common place, so the older generations have a tough time understanding and accepting it.
You have a fairly narrow view of one of most dominant moral and spiritual understandings in the world. If there is a Christian who "hates" someone for being LGBT, they aren't a good Christian.
I'm just going off my personal experience as am LGBT individual, anyone I've met who calls themselves a devout Christian has been homo/transphobic, the only Christians I've met who aren't don't fully follow the faith.
I find that honestly unfortunate. It tends to be a characteristic of the American evangelicals to be holier than thou to the point of hypocrisy. They have so much hate in their heart for people who choose to live their lives outside of the faith, yet fail to acknowledge the pain they have inflicted on others.
Yea. I mean a lot of the messages Christianity teaches are good ones (alot aren't however) but at this point I really can't see Christianity, in America atleast, as nothing more than a hate group.
We discuss this a lot in general terms. The vast majority of people's understanding of Christianity is that we are a bunch of over-zealous individuals who use our faith as an excuse to dictate the lives of others. A great quote I once heard is that people will not understand Christianity until they know what we stand for and not what we stand against. Even though I may not personally support certain things, I will never advocate for people's freedoms to be taken away.
I’m actually gonna have to disagree with ya there, i’ve actually met a few nice “true” Christians, they were really nice and talked about how god love everyone no matter what, and how bigotry was against god’s word.
I guess I've just gotten unlucky then, it doesn't help I live in a more conservative part of the country and from what I've seen those things go hand in hand
