Homosexual Beliefs ?

Question

Why is it that Christians are labeled as ignorant or rude or judgemental because you do not agree with homosexuality? I really do not understand that.

Answer

The belief that sexuality is a choice invalidates the experiences of MOGAI(LGBT) who have grown up knowing who they are. 
Also holding and promoting the belief that it is 'wrong' and somehow undesirable contributes to a heteronormative, bierasive, and homophobic society. Someone might only exhibit microagressions towards the MOGAI(LGBT) (saying sexuality is a choice, saying they 'disagree' with someone's sexuality, etc), and while these microagressions are easy to dismiss, they contribute to solidifying homophobia. They contribute to people passively accepting that certain sexualities are less valid, and that is harmful to the MOGAI(LGBT), community. 
People get called out because they are being toxic to a community.

Answer

Let me tell you why, from the perspective of an asexual woman.

It's because by saying you "don't agree" with homosexuality or the MOGAI community as a whole, you are erasing our experiences. You are saying you disagree with a fundamental part of our ingrained humanity- something that has always been a part of us, just like someone's hair color or eye color. I never chose to be asexual and not feel sexual attraction. I just don't. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. When all of my friends were developing crushes, dating, and discovering their sexuality, not only was I not- I had no interest. At all. It wasn't until I met my husband that I felt any romantic feelings at all. It was really hard to grow up knowing I was different and wanting so badly to not be this way. I was raised Christian. I was in Awana and Missionettes, went to Catholic high school, and Catholic university. I remember being a teenager and confiding in one of our youth group leaders that I thought that even having sex in marriage didn't sound like something I ever wanted to do because my body didn't have those feelings. Well, that led to me being treated like a freak. I wondered for so long why God would make me this way if I was treated so poorly by other people who were supposed to believe like I did. People telling me I must be confused (which happened right here on Glow just a few days ago,) that I shouldn't be married, that I just must be doing it wrong, that I am making it up, and that they don't agree with my "lifestyle" makes me feel the same pain I felt as a teenager and being treated like a freak. It hurts. You choose your religion. You choose your beliefs. I respect that. Just please respect in turn that we in the MOGAI community did not choose this, any more than we chose our skin color or eye color. Be kind.

Answer

There is a difference between not agreeing with homosexuality and the most vocal "Christian"s' very forceful & attacking views. 
If you dont agree w it, okay, no one is making you be in a homosexual relationship. You are 100% entitled to think that it is a damnable sin if you feel that way. 
But there are many people that use the Bible to justify discrimination & even violence against the LGBT community. They feel that they are entitled to go up to strangers and preach hatred in God's name. 
Unfortunately, this minority has become the face of Christianity for much of the LGBT community because it is the only face that they see. Which is honestly a crying shame, especially considering how sinful their actions are; as it says in 1 John (which im paraphrasing bc the only Bible i have w me is on my phone & the app will reset if i go hunt the verse down, bear w me please), those who walk in darkness do not walk with God, and do not know Him. 
You cannot be so hateful and know the love of God. These people are not any true representation of Christianity, and as a religion, we ought to strive to correct this misconception about our beliefs.

Answer

I don't agree with it, so therefore I do not take part in it. I will not be hateful about it, nor will I be rude to someone who is. It's not my life, and in the end I will not be the one who is judged for it. God told us to love thy neighbor. 'He who is without sin cast the first stone'

Answer

Because anything holy, righteous and of God is always going to get persecuted, people think that they can justify their actions because the world is filled with sin already, plus they think the bible conforms to their lifestyle, by saying judge not and you shall not be judged, plus they always throw in the fact that we shouldn't eat pork or shellfish, when in actually we don't have to follow those laws anymore but the new testament specifically says homosexuality is an abomination, so is fornication

Answer

I love all people, but I do not always have to agree with their choices(Anyone who lives in sin intentionally). Who am I to say they can't do "this' or "that". I try to be as loving and as understanding as possible. I am christian and take my faith seriously and I love the Lord with all my heart. I will always tell people that it's sinful but only out of love. I think it's wrong to go about it in a nasty manor though and it is a very touchy subject so unless I personally know you I will keep my mouth closed. I feel that it's more loving that I at least mention it but I will NEVER try to force my opinion on anyone. The last type of person I EVER want to be is hateful. It's not like I go out of my way and be judging. I too am a sinner but I work very hard not to be. We all sin in completely different ways. I know not everyone will agree with me or I agree with them and that's okay. I will do my best to uphold the image of the lord as best as I possibly can but I really do not think hurting people is the answer.

Answer

because your homophobic "beliefs" directly hurt the lgbt+ community and disrespect our existence

Answer

I also don't understand the attack on Christianity's stance against homosexuality but haven't yet heard anyone criticizing Judism and Islam for having the same exact belief system. Why the attack on one religion? I Agree with those that say you shouldn't use the bible to promote hatred and discrimination against homosexuality...that's a sin as well, but just like those who are  LGBTQAI want their beliefs and lifestyles respected, they need to respect others beliefs and lifestyles as well.

Answer

I am Christian and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, however I understand the view on my an Christians when it comes to the community, many people who claim to be Christian pick and choose what they follow and judge quite a bit, even though the bible very clearly states it is not our place to judge.

Answer

Oh and btw dont group all Christians together. Some do agree with LGBTQ rights etc.
