I don't care who you love, and I guess I really don't care if you want to 'identify' as something biologically different than what you were born with... but I have a problem when you can't make up your mind what you are and start demanding people use some ridiculous new pronoun. If you want people to leave you alone, then shut up and live your life and quit making a fuss about how much special treatment you deserve for being 'different'!

If you are talking about religion.


The bible also says people can't eat fat Lev 3:17, can't eat pork Lev 11:7-8, can't eat shrimp or anything lacking fins or scales Deuteronomy 14:9-10, planting two different crops side by side Lev 19:19, wearing clothes made of mixed fabrics lev 19:19, cutting the hair on the sides of your head or clipping the edges of your beard Lev 19:27, tattoos Lev 19:28, can't work on the sabbath Exodus 35:2


There is also slavery in the bible.{an evil that no one approves of today}


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_slavery


Exodus 21:20–21 says, “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.


The point is: No one follows biblical laws to the letter, Christian or Jew. If a Christian going to cherry pick the biblical laws they want to follow and ignore the laws they don't, then why not ignore the laws that depict people of a certain sexual orientation or gender identity as being worthy of condemnation? Justifying a personal bias on an ancient biblical law when you blatantly ignore other ancient biblical laws doesn't seem like something Jesus would do.

How would you know? If you are not LGBT+ then you cannot have any idea how they were born or how they feel.

How do I know? Where is there proof that that it isn't? I could care less how they feel.
Oh just stop with this "prove a negative" line.

If you could care less, then why are you posting your opinion on this thread?

But gay people are supposed to care how fundamentalist Christians feel?

There's far more proof that sexual orientation is unchangeable than there is for the god of the Bible.
