I'm gay, so why do I find the LGBT community more offensive than supportive

Christianity may be a scapegoat, but it tends to be the main reason for being against things like gay rights, gay marriage, etc.

I was actually on a news article earlier.. it was actually on Lady Gaga and her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner (which she changed a line, at a gay pride event, to "the land of the free, and the home of the gays). Apparently this enraged all of the overzealous patriotic people (nothing wrong with being patriotic mind you).

Anyway, I got into several heated discussions and it seemed the main reason was "Jesus said it's wrong!!11".. which then of course devolved into personal insults about my appearance (people do that when they have to real argument or anything to back it with).

My point though.. really the only argument I see is, that it's unholy, against the bible, etc. So while there may be other reasons homosexuality is viewed by some as "weird" or "wrong", I still think Christianity is the major reason. Maybe not the sole reason.. but it's obviously a huge reason..

Oh, no, I agree completely with that statement! I just don't want the issue to be over-simplified into "blame religion for all of it".

A lot of homophobia is religious but far from all of it. I come for a village where most people have 2 things in common: being atheists and being homophobes.

That's ok cos they are village people (they are all gay any way u.u)

Lol damn you, I'm trying not to offend. I guess I should stop doing that!

[SolemnBoy]

If you add other things into the equation that assumption is quickly disproven :p

True.. and I think at least half of the people that use the "jesus" reason are only using it because they have nothing else. Let's face it.. I think it's safe to say that most self defined "christians" have never even read the Bible.. and only pick and choose what they decide to be against. I'm getting a little off topic.. so i'll stahp that... but yeah! Agreed that religion isn't the ONLY blame. Though every Athiest I've personally known has no issue with gays o.o.

Blame religion for it all!!!

Acutally I has awesome religion people who are awesome sauce. BUT... The world would be better off without Christianity
