anyway people are deliberately missing my point because the LGBT community has had to deal with all manner of hate and bigotry from the religious right.
in the guy probably had good intentions but I can understand why they didn't want to talk to him.
we've had these idiots like Westboro Baptist and the Florida preacher who literally literally call for the death of LGBT people
or Joshua Fuerstien who had a complete meltdown over Christmas cups
it's the same reason I don't answer the door for Jehovah's Witnesses because I find their doctrin morally repugnant
Before I go onto the heart of my post, I want to say the people with sexual preferences outside of Judeo Christian mainstream should be treated with respect and love. While I very much disagree with their lifestyle choices, they should be permitted and afforded all the basic rights of all other citizens. Free will exists. Christian's can protest the sin, and God duly notes that we are speaking up that it is a perversion. Just like any other sinner, if they are determined to live the transgression of their depravity, then we can not stop them, short of becoming haters and sinners ourselves.
That said, the Gay and lesbian community are saints?
I personally know of a pastor that whose life was threatened along with his family, around 1999, for putting up a billboard quoting, I forget what book, deuteronomy, where it says a man laying with another man is an abomination.
The lbtg has continually rammed their agenda down the throats of communities re the curriculum in conservative schools all across this country. Yet if a Christian teacher was to say it is sinful to practice sexual perversion as a gay or lesbian person does, they would be fired, and maybe even sued civilly or maybe even arrested for "hate" (read, speaking the truth) speech.
The ones who have power in Hollywood are putting openly gay and lesbian characters who are actually shown kissing and implying them sleeping together, on children's TV shows.
They care not nor respect the belief of others who disagree with them.
Now they are attacking basic family structure. Not just a man and man, a woman and a woman, but teenagers marrying adults, 3 of 4 people all married at the same time, all having relations with each other.
So your generally talking about the past. To be clear, before you say there are people who still hate them and will do violence against them, yeah, I got that. It's a small minority. Human nature dictates we will never eradicate sin.
But stay rooted in the present. They are not the under digs any longer. They are heavily protected by a increasingly hedonistic and depraved society.
It's the Christian's who are being prejudiced against these days. If I go and preach on the streets that sexual immortality is a sin, all forms of sexual perversion, your saying I should be arrested?
Can I say a threesome among straight people us a sin, and not a cop will show up, but if I mention the sanest sexes having relations I'm going to jail??
Can you say liberal safe space and suppression of free speech?
These are wicked times.
