Im as tired of the overbearing lgbt stuff as the next person. But its fucking irritating when people use religion as their main argument against lgbt people. Kids dont belong at pride and that was a good point but the whole thing about gods creation rainbows, and the 7 deadly sins barely has a leg to stand on and you wont convince anyone they are wrong by saying it. all you will do is make people double down about how wrong you must be.

I feel like there's a psychological need for religion to some people. It would explain why the left has become very religious-like. They've got their own original sin (privilege), nothing is based on rational thought, it's all about consulting some kind of clergy (academics, activists, etc). This one had progressivism as their church, now they're switching to some kind of Christianity.

I disagree. Christianity gives you an outlet to express how you feel about the LGBTQ community without anyone being able to attack you for it.

If they do, then they are bigots that don't tolerate religious freedom.

Expressing these views through Christianity publicly allows others that fear speaking out to see that they too can speak out publicly in a safe manner. It is very effective.
