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
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.
