Does that mean I 'moan about the existence of gay people'?
Maybe not about their mere existence...but certainly about their ability to lead normal lives and to have the same legal rights as everyone else.

People who are so unpatriotic whether minority group members or not are showing me they are not Americans.
More whites are killed by cops? Not on a per capita basis.

That doesn't really mean anything or have any relevancy to the point at hand. Besides, what that typically meant at the time is someone who was raised Christian, believed in one god, but believed he was uninvolved in day to day life.

You do realize whites commit less crime on a per capita basis right? For example whites commit murder at a rate of around 2 per 100,000 vs black about 20 per 100,000 or over 7x times on a per capita basis. You think maybe violent crime rate might explain being killed by police rate?

Why not? Religious beliefs, perchance?

And they are often at odds with basic science.

You are taking it out of context and creating a strawman.

Anyone can claim they don't choose their attractions was the point.

That's why we shouldn't have had so much immigration. It brings in more division and unpatriotic people and ideas.
We had open immigration prior to the Chinese Exclusion Act of the 1880s and the implementation of a qouta system in the 1920s.
Are white Christians better than other Christians..or adherents of other faiths or of no religion at all? How so?
And, yes, at times it was very theocratic...especially if we are going back to 1607.
Early colonial America was not theocratic?

So are liberals. For instance they don't understand X and y chromosomes and genetic recombination, or heredity.
