You're not going to find Jesus saying anything about it in those books.
Jesus mentioned a man and his wife when talking about marriage.


This would thus exclude:

1.) Same-sex "marriage"
2.) Polygamy

It's because black gay men use condoms less than other racial/ethnic groups.

Those pushing their agenda here are not the liberals.
I am not liberal, but the liberals got this one right. I knew I was gay when I was like 5. Obviously, I didn't know the word for it, but the attraction was there. However, I don't like gays with militant attitudes that everyone must agree with their POV on politics, etc.

Yes, you are evil if you would not accept your child. You should look in the mirror the next time you go to church and question where you are going after you die. As the Bible states, there are false prophets. Anyone who tells you not to love your child and accept them is a false prophet.
I'm gay and I find this sort of militant attitude almost as bad as those who think homosexuality is a choice. The root of it is the same as the roots of religious fundamentalism. It's just a different brand of fundamentalism.

If they were gay, lesbian, or bi then certainly I would totally 100% accept them and keep loving them in every way. Transgenderism though I believe is a mental illness and I'd be intent on having the child growing out of the confusion. I don't care what libs say, gender and biological sex is the same thing. You don't get to decide your gender any more than your ethnic background, and if you have surgery then you're just an altered and mutilated version of what you were born as, like the man Caitlyn Jenner. If you're a "girly" little boy or a tomboy girl thats totally fine, but to support a young child in physically attempting to change their gender is basically child abuse.

Um, no. Visibility has grown, but that's all.

This is why we need more parties, more choices.
We will never get them unless we have a revolution. Political parties are all about centralizing control and offering a very limited (and often irrelevant) set of choices.

I try to be open minded about transgenderism. However, it does contradict something about the way our society has been moving over the past several decades; that gender stereotypes do matter. I wonder how many transgender young people truly have gender dysphoria, or if they simply feel they fit in more with the gender norms of the sex opposite of what they are so they take drastic measures to change themselves accordingly. I don't believe that a boy should be prescribed hormones and possible gender re-assignment surgery simply because they like to play with dolls instead of playing sports.

I wouldn't "accept" them. That implies I'm tolerant but not happy. Like being told to just accept Trump. No, I simply don't care if my children are LGBTQ or straight. I'll love them either way.

I don't care who my children love or what gender thet identify as.
