Just because someone doesn’t support it or agree with it doesn’t make them homophobic. Personally, I’m not going to go to pride events or donate money to pride related organizations or anything like that because it’s something I don’t agree with. Yes, a part of that opinion comes from my religion but I don’t force my religion on anybody else. If someone asks why I believe the way I do, I tell them it goes against what I believe but I’m not out here knocking people with Bibles.
Gender and sexuality studies is starting to be implemented into elementary schools before kids even know what sex is. Think about how malleable the mind of an elementary schooler is and how much of an impact that can have in how they think they are supposed to feel about certain things
First of all Christianity isn’t a cult maybe look up the definition if you don’t know also the Bible is not taught in schools. Parents can make a choice to take their kids to church etc, just like parents can make the choice to tell their kids about sexual orientation etc, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. Never said anything about harmful effects of gay kids in school.
However im not going to go harass people or yell or treat someone any differently because they are gay. I’m still going to respect them as a person and treat them as a person. Who they go out with doesn’t determine their worth as a human being and I still love them and want what’s best for them.
I think where a lot of people have issues is the fact that they push so much tolerance and acceptance on us yet we don’t get that in return. Like, if you’re gay, okay, I’m not gonna change that. But that’s YOUR choice. I don’t agree with that but it’s how you’re choosing to live your life. It’s not harming me. However, if I say I’m straight and I don’t support pride then there’s zero tolerance.
Even though who I date also doesn’t affect them they get angry and call me homophobic and all these other names. Like no, you can’t go around preaching tolerance and then refuse to tolerate people who don’t agree with you. You’re asking me to tolerate something I don’t agree with but then unwilling to tolerate me in return. That’s annoying.
And then a lot of gay people (not all but some) have this very entitled attitude. They also like to blame everything on straight people like some of the comments above. And yes, whether you see it or not, you can see kids being influenced in schools to have opinions on sexuality when they should be coloring. People will bring in transgender speakers and teach all this gender stuff to children. At least wait until the kids are old enough to form their own opinions and grounds.
Religion isn’t taught in public schools. Some places don’t even let teachers have a Bible in their classroom. If they do mention religion it’s in a historic context. But no one is quoting John 3:16 at a bunch of 1st graders. The parents have the option whether or not they want to introduce them to religion. School is not the place for political/controversial topics.
okay, but being LGBTQ+ shouldn’t be “politically controversial.” ignorant people just make it like that because they don’t understand what it means to be LGBTQ+ and the struggles that community faces. we know that scientifically, gender and sexuality are naturally nuanced and fluid. also, the Bible isn’t against LGBTQ+ rights. if someone’s love shows patience and compassion, it is a direct reflection of God’s love, not a sin.
also, when they teach gender and sexuality in schools, it’s generally just including the idea that there can be “two mommies” or “two daddies” in a family, and that there are more than 2 genders, it’s not that deep and it’s not “encouraging kids to be gay.” it’s not taught about any more than cis and straight relationships and norms. you can’t learn intermediate biology without learning that sexuality and gender are nuanced, so it’s just prepping them for that.
Okay, so here’s the thing. You can’t force a gay person to become straight. People have (disgustingly) tried many times. But that logic also applies in reverse. You can’t force a straight person to become gay. Think about this the next time you argued that children are being propagandized.
I was talking about #8 bringing up drag queen story time cause that is a public library thing, also being gay or trans isn’t inherently sexual and exposing people who are to children even if in school isn’t trying to put forward some weird sexual agenda to kids, kids CAN have “gay” thoughts even if its not like the sort of attraction or gender identity that adults have and they need to know that its OK and that they arent freaks of nature for thinking “differently” from their peers
they literally do teach the “1 mommy 1 daddy” thing - they just didn’t always say it that way because it was considered to be the norm. I agree that schools should be teaching what family life “should” look like, that’s why they should include examples of all different kinds of families. gay families shouldn’t be politically controversial, they’re just families.
I have read it, and it isn’t condemning loving, same-sex relationships. It’s describing how people at the time were engaging in exploitive sexual acts connected to idol worship. Paul is condemning people who turn away from God and hurt others through selfish and idolatrous behaviors, which were more likely lustful acts, exploitative relationships, and sexual behavior driven by excess rather than mutual love, not loving LGBTQ+ relationships.
