Or imagine that any of these people got together and paraded down Main Street in a ‘Murderers Pride Parade’? Most would gasp in amazement. Yet most embrace the notion that because someone engages in sex with a person of the same gender - and then chooses to broadcast that fact - they should be protected, even though God Almighty has forever denounced that practice and called it an abominable sin. Amazing!

Furthermore,

Christians (via doctrine) believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. When you force people to go against their beliefs/redefine them... that’s intolerance.

When you condemn pastors and shut down churches because they don’t believe in homosexuality, that’s intolerance.

When you force a Christian bakery to cater to a gay wedding, that’s intolerance.

Outside religious doctrine, we can discuss philosophical/moralistic perspectives on whether it’s harmful if you want... But that'd be OUR opinions against each other. Christians use the Bible and God's word as the standard. With that being said, just because you aren’t directly harming someone doesn’t make it okay; not only that but you are also opening the floodgates and boundaries as to what is acceptable in the future.

I’m not against freedom; people can do as they choose, we aren’t running around knocking doors down forcing guns to anyone’s heads telling them stop what they are doing lol. There are plenty of bakeries and places for gay people to get married. Just leave innocent people the fuck alone.

And Ironically as a matter of fact, it’s actually the liberals and LGBT groups that have been trying to force their religion upon society.

THEY are the ones:

-Putting their movement on the front page of every major newspaper, in every phase of the entertainment industry, and in the schools.
-insisting that they have special legal rights.
-marching up and down the streets demanding that people accept and respect us

How do you not see the hypocrisy?

Again,

Nobody is saying one group of people is better or that one group should be hated, there’s no evidence of that. Sure, there may be stupid people that actually do claim hatred towards homosexuals (similar to KKK groups) but they don’t represent what’s actually being claimed.

But more often than not,

This perception exists because people lack the ability to see nuance and think deeply so it’s no wonder this ignorance grows rampant; people just get emotional and have already decided what they want to believe in their minds.
Again equating homosexuality to murder is literally homophobic. Not that labeling you even matters, but it's just funny to me that you claim not to be homophobic. I'd rather deal with a homophobic person that at least is real about his ideology and aware of the consequences that it has on other people living it his society.

What would you say if a black person was denied buying a service from a company because of his skin color? What if that baker refused to bake a cake for a black person because according to his ideology, black people shouldn't be allowed to get married? Are you capable of seeing why that would be an issue?

It's funny that you would mention the KKK. Just yesterday I was watching an interview of a KKK member. He claimed not to understand why his organisation is painted as dangerous and hostile towards black people. Sure there might be a few members who murder black people but they don't represent the ideology of the klan, you know? His argumentation sounds similar to yours. Here is a link to the video if you care: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqGU52odPuE
It's sad but also very interesting.

I don't think LGBT people are on the front page of every newspaper but yes they are more visible than they used to be. The goal isn't to force anything; it is advocate for their acceptance in society. Because once again, even if you like to claim the opposite, they are the ones being oppressed. Gay people get beat up, insulted or even murdered because of their sexual orientation. Gay teenagers get kicked out of their household. Gay teenagers are 4 times more likely to commit suicide.

And again, all these things happen because of the ideology that you are currently advocating for on the internet. Do you really not see why people would call you hateful?

Below I will leave links to articles that hopefully will help you understand why spreading the idea that homosexuality is "unacceptable" is dangerous. If it still doesn't then I'm sorry but, yes, you are in fact very hateful. Have a blessed day.


LGBT Teens, Bullying, and Suicide
https://childmind.org/article/lgbt-t...g-and-suicide/
"2. A teen who believes his or her sexual feelings are unacceptable to peers may be at risk for suicide.
Parents, teachers, and all caring adults need to be sensitive to teenagers who exhibit feelings of sadness, worthlessness, hopelessness, anxiety, irritability, rejection, and anger—all symptoms of depression, which is experienced by the majority of teens who attempt or complete suicide. Some parents assume that if they are tolerant of different sexual orientations, their children aren’t affected by the barrage of messages suggesting that it’s abnormal or immoral to be gay. Unfortunately, anti-gay rhetoric has extraordinary, insidious muscle in the cultural landscape, and gay teens are particularly vulnerable. Parents of gay teens are sometimes “the last to know” a problem is brewing."
