Because we’re tired of the hate and bloodlust and constantly having it forced into our daily lives and bodies.

I’m really sorry you’ve experienced that. I have too. But there are many of us who don’t harbor that kind of hate. This kind of talk is exactly what I mean when I mention generalizing and alienating LGBT Christians.

It’s inherent to your doctrine. Hate is baked into that shit.

It’s not, but I’m very sorry you’ve had experiences that make you believe that. Converting to Christianity (specifically Episcopalianism) has only exposed me to more kindness and an obligation to do better to help others. I know there’s probably nothing I can do to change your mind here, but I really hope some day we can live in a world where bigotry isn’t louder than the immense good that I’ve been fortunate enough to experience in my faith.

It is. I’m sick of being forced to placate your bloody death cult and the centuries of abuse, neglect, genocide, and fucking delusions. Get help and get out of that cult.

telling a trans person to get help just bc they’re affirmed through their faith is genuinely disgusting and I hope you grow as a person

you realize not everyone who follows religion is like that? and also that christianity as a whole is not supposed to be built off of hate? it’s supposed to be a loving faith (love thy neighbors as thyself) but the wrong people took hold of it. that doesn’t mean that someone who follows it is also a bad person. get a fucking grip

validating your shitty stance through an out-of-context post is not it btw. confirmed it was same person.

I can’t see their posts anymore, but man. People like this make me so sad. The majority of Christians aren’t rabid gay-haters, and it hurts when people refuse to engage with the very prospect of encouraging more positive relationships between these two very beautiful and very diverse communities.

The Talmud is discussions and debates about the Torah💀

This post isn’t saying anything about all Christians or anything, but specifically about those who use the Bible to justify the hatred of trans people which is a valid thing to complain about.

I have a gay pastor which has been super healing as someone with religious trauma, he and his husband are lovely people and routinely emphasize that Jesus helped and was for the oppressed and marginalized

Ohhh that’s super cool! I had a pastor tell me that my fate is to eternally burn in the lake of fire because I’m gay! And that the only way I could be “saved” was to be sent to conversion therapy! I was 10 years old and just wanted shorter hair for the summer. Can we stop acting like your very idealized version of Christianity is what queer people are guaranteed to experience when they interact with the church

I dated a pansexual non-binary person who said being aroace wasn’t a thing, and they SAed me multiple times. yet I can distinguish between different people and groups. different people and different denominations are different.

Not sure how this conversation jumped to sexual assault but okay! People are allowed to be angry at the systems that hurt them! They’re allowed to not want to interact with them again! Especially if those systems do NOTHING to fix the pain they have caused people!

Dawg I am not saying that, I grew up Mormon I know that church can and often is bad and abusive. Any institution where someone can get a lot of power and control over people is ripe for abuse. But it’s also ignorant to assume that all religion and spirituality are bad. There is a whole database online for queer affirming churches and there are literally thousands in the USA alone who do charity work, protest and protect people against ICE, etc

possibly because you decided to randomly bring up a very traumatic situation when it wasn’t relevant? and when someone replies in a similar way, you decide it’s too much? where do you get the audacity? this conversation is about how people have connected to something, and you bring up a whole different conversation and an unprompted trauma. if you’re going to be an unhelpful hypocrite, don’t be surprised when people respond negatively 👍

I was actually just sharing my personal experience with pastors, just like 13 was doing! But apparently because I didn’t have anything nice to say (maybe that speaks on my personal experience too!), that makes it “traumatic” to bring up? Explicitly talking about your ex sexually assaulting you is actually traumatic to bring up! Talk about hypocritical lmao

“I had a pastor tell me that my fate is to eternally burn in the lake of fire because I’m gay! And that the only way I could be ‘saved’ was to be sent to conversion therapy!” genuinely, can you not comprehend how this is trauma dumping? gladly not engaging with someone who can neither comprehend their own words nor realize that 45,000 distinct denominations didn’t individually hurt them.

you are right, religion as a whole is a danger to humanity and queer people in particular, as has been shown throughout history. it conditions people to accept irrational things as true based on their feelings and that way of thinking is dangerous and harmful and ripe for abuse.
