Hello, I am a teenage female who is cis and straight, but an ally with BLM and the LGBTQIA+ community. I also am a christian who goes to a non-denominational church. I'd love to have a conversation with someone who doesn't support LGBTQIA+ or BLM and just talk about our differences and see if we can find things in common elsewhere in faith and how we view the world. I want to have a mature and kind conversation, I will block anyone who is rude in the comment section. I don't agree with not supporting LGBTQIA+ but I will give you the respect of a mature conversation, I hope you can do the same!

If only I was homophobic, I am a lesbian lol. I support BLM but I do not support ACAB. (All cops are bad.)
ReplyAnd I am Jewish.
ReplyI don't support ACAB by itself. I agree with saying like "all cops are bad until they prove they aren't" because thinking that way keeps people more cautious of their safety yk?
ReplyACAB means all cops are bastards, not bad. Bastard comes from the word 'bastardized' which means to be corrupt. We are not saying that cops are bad. We're saying the law system is corrupt. Please educate yourself next time, as this is an important movement.
ReplySeriously? I said I was Jewish in the chat and my comment was automatically flagged!
ReplyThat makes no sense! I don't know why they would automatically flag you. A couple of my posts and comments have talked about Christianity and were never flagged.
ReplyI'm a Christian and I don't support LGBTQIA+.
ReplyOkay. What's your reasoning behind that?
ReplyBecause God made you as he wanted you to be. (male/female). In the beginning he created two humans. The reasoning for creating those two, was for one to accompany the other. Adam and Eve. Male and Female. He didn't make Angelina and eve , or Adam and Garret. He made Adam and Eve. Now lets say he did that so they could have a choice of if they want to be different. Either way it goes, you still need a male and a female to reproduce. So I believe that it should be a male and a female.
ReplyI have several reasons why this is wrong. The first is that your 'god' is not everyone else's god. People who are LGBTQIA might not believe in your god or the hundred-year-old book that talks about him. And even if they do believe in christianity, everyone interprets the bible differently. I, myself, choose not to interpret it literally but more in a figurative way. Yes, god may have made two sexes so that they could reproduce, but reproduction does not mean love. It's simply the ability to create offspring. A lot of people don't need or want to produce offspring, and that's ok.
Plus, instead of thinking of how 'god' wanted us to be, I suggest thinking of how WE want to be. After all, we are the ones who are living in our own bodies, and we may choose what to do in it.
I'm not saying everyone should be gay or whatever, because that's out of our control, but why do you need to care about someone else's relationship? You have no viable reason to think about someone else's love interest. I assure you, no one of the same sex is attracted to you in particular, so why limit someone else's expression? The fact of the matter is that LGBTQIA has absolutely nothing to do with your relationships and has no effect on you at all. Quoting your own bible, Matthew 7:: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
We must protect all humans and spread love and compassion throughout our differences, because that is what god ACTUALLY made you to do.
ReplyHi again. :) I am not judging, but simply standing by what I believe in. I believe there is one God, but many gods. Don't get me wrong, I do not mean to offend. I think you can live someone deeply, without being LGBTQIA+. Same way I like many girls, (or think they are cute) but love only one guy. Idk, that's my way of thinking. I try to respect other people's choices.
