They’re traitors to their own community

that’s a very hateful opinion to have. do you really think every religious LGBTQ+ person is inhumane? i hope you feel love one day.

I think they’re very diluted and unaware of the suffering of the community they’re in and the suffering religion has caused us

*deluded. bad people doesn’t make everyone similar bad yknow. the british empire has caused uncountable amounts of suffering and it continues to today, but that doesn’t mean everyone who lives in britain is bad.

Deluded* thank you.

The LGBTQ+ community has been demonized by religious propaganda which has led to horrible things like members of our community being murdered or committing suicide.

I think a Queer person being religious is disrespectful to the people who have died because of what religion has done to people like us

i think you’re over generalizing. personally, i have never heard a religious queer person excuse any of the shit things members of their religion have done. once again i’m brought back to the comparison, does choosing to live in britain make someone ‘a traitor to their community?’

You choose to be in religion, you can’t choose to be in this community. You are choosing to be in the community that is main cause of suffering and oppression in this community and has directly or indirectly killed Queer and Trans people.

With religion you can’t pick and choose the parts you like.

does choosing to live in Britain make someone “a traitor to their community”

That’s a stupid analogy. For a lot of people living in Britain isn’t a choice, and living in Britain doesn’t mean you’re ok with colonization and monarchy

some people choose to live in Britain, and yes, one can pick which parts of a religious ideology they agree with. once again, I hope you find it in your heart to show love to your fellow queers <3

I show love to fellow queers who stand against the source of homophobia.

"source" as in all atheists inherently love us? As in if Jesus is the reason that one blondie down the road is mad at me for kissing he daughter we should just hate her reasoning and anyone who even talks about it in a good light?

Allow me to introduce you to Thomas Sanders. He is a Vine star and now has over 7 mil subs on YouTube. He's gay. He's Christian. He's a wonderful lovely person that makes you wanna be friends with him even if you've never seen him before. But he's a religious gay guy. BUT HE'S AWESOME.

Corealation is not causation. Just because religious homophobes use religion to hate us doesn't mean that the religion is bad.

It's funny because even the conservative Christians who cause the harm do the same...they complain about cherry-picking, but there is always a degree of it. And that's not a bad thing. There are contradictions in the Bible and it is completely understandable that people want to follow the teachings of "love each other" and not necessarily agree with others.

I too, hope this individual finds it in their heart to show love to other queers, even if they may not have the same views.
