Couldn't disagree w/ this more.
For starters, some just hate LGBTQ. It wouldn't matter what they did. Some will always hate it, and hide behind religion to justify that hate..
You're talking about the most extreme element of the hard core right which is in itself a relatively small minority.
Most straight people couldn't care less what other people do with other consenting adults behind closed doors as long as that's where they keep it and don't go around trying to draw as much attention to themselves as possible, just so they can cry victim.
I think on a subconscious level, many alphabet people WANT the rest of society to hate them, just so they can feel sorry for themselves and claim to have a reason to cry louder and longer and try to wrest more concessions and force more "acceptance" from the rest of us.
And honestly, hate for them is exactly what they are causing to happen today. People who never even gave it a second thought are beginning to hate them, not for being attracted to whoever, but because they won't STFU and go mind their own business.
And God did create homosexuals, and transgenders. What you say is "self loathing" is more people who are confused, because they clearly feel a certain way, but society keeps telling them they're wrong, and that they are wrong to feel that way..
Ba.
Lo.
Ney.
First of all, being an agnostic, nobody can tell me they "know" anything about this "God" individual or if He even exists, or what His intentions are or anything else about Him.
Second of all, given the billions of people on Earth at any given time, and the tens of billions who've existed in the past, it's impossible to assign one reason to every homosexual who's ever existed. Some are born that way, some are driven that way by their lack of success at finding the right member of the opposite sex and some just decide to give it a try.
In short, neither you nor I nor anyone else is qualified to make such a statement.
No one can control who they're attracted to, or if they feel like they're in a body that's the wrong gender..
No, we cannot control who we're attracted to. I agree 100%.
But who are you or I to question the work of nature or "God" as you call it?
How do you know God or The Flying Spaghetti Monster/creator/supreme being is not highly offended by having his/its creations question his/its wisdom?
But that's all completely beside the point anyway.
My point is that the alphabet whiners should STFU about it and stop pushing their social and political agenda on the rest of us, especially children.
If someone over 18 wants to have their penis sliced open lengthwise like a pickle, then shoved up into their pelvic cavity to form a fake vagina, or conversely, have their vagina somehow turned into a penis, however the hell that's done, and then either grow breasts or have their breasts removed and all the other medical procedures it entails...
Fine.
Go for it. But...
A) don't allow children to make decisions regarding which gender they think they want to be and
B) don't get the government to start using the taxpayer's money to pay for it.
Can't afford it?
Tough shit. Life is hard. Deal with it.
So, "pride" is really about people trying to feel "normal" (which they absolutely are - everyone is beautiful), when society keeps insisting that they're abnormal, or an "abomination," or wrong in some way.
Again, Ba. Lo. Ney.
It's a slogan and rallying cry of the alphabet people's social and political power agenda.
No different in essence, than #MAGA.
Or, as I said, overcompensation for inner feelings of self loathing.
If you have to go marching around telling everyone how proud you are, chances are it's not pride.
Chances are you're covering up for something.
