I Have The Last Of Your Roll

One of the reasons many Christians treat gay people the way they do roots from the Bible. The

Yes we understand that It might be against your religious beliefs to be homosexual but that doesn't give you the right to yell at the LGBT community telling them they’re sinners and they're all going to hell. According to Biblehub.com Mark 12:31 says “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” that includes your homosexual neighbors. Romans 3:23 says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” which according to Bible.org means all believers are judged equally including gay/lesbian believers.

My sex is female, and I also identify my gender as being a heterosexual female. As far as religion goes, I identify as a non-denominational Christian who basically almost lives at church. All of these aspects of my life affect my perspective on the LGBT community. I believe that being homosexual is wrong and should not be done because only man and woman should be together, but because of my religion, I also believe in accepting those people apart of the LGBT community. Many people would say that I am wrong or confused for thinking this way because I am Christian and believe in God because the bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, “Surely you know that people who do wrong will not get to enjoy God’s kingdom. Don’t be fooled. These are the people who will not get to enjoy his kingdom: those who sin sexually, those who worship idols, those who commit adultery, men who let other men use them for sex or who have sex with other men, those who steal, those who are greedy, those who drink too much, those who abuse others with insults, and those who cheat.” Many people who are not truly rooted in their faith will see this scripture and will shun away all people apart of the LGBT community or just stop believing in God because they are in that community. I, on the other hand, know that even though that is said in the Bible there is more to this statement. The Bible also says

Those who were born gays, lesbians, or even transgender did nothing wrong against their creator. People fail to picture themselves in the same shoes of the LGBTQH. They should reflect on how they would feel if their sisters, brothers, or parents were violated for being among the LGBTQH. Instead, they focus on abusing them making almost every place inhabitable for them. Lynne Sprague spells it out that almost every place is unsafe for them as place of work, residential areas, and others are insecure for the group. Different organizations like NCAVP are encouraging people to turn against the criminal activity and adopt the theory of change for the interest of the whole

The United States of America is largely populated by the Christian religion, in which their views are believed that it is against Gods will for two people of the same sex to engage in relations. Yet, some lesbians and gays practice religion and some even consider themselves to be Christians. These homosexuals that practice religion believe that God does not judge them by their sexual preference but by their actions. As for any person that has studied the Bible, they are aware that it states Jesus died on the cross for our sins and we are made brand new. Which means God does not hold a grudge against anyone for any reason. Most of the Christians that are close minded on same sex couples existing are from older generations where people did not advertise their differences as they

Over the last 70 years, we have seen LGBT people in Nazi concentration camps, vilified while wasting away in hospital beds with AIDS, prohibited from serving their country, and forced by American lawmakers into danger, all for evangelical and conservative fear and guilt—pull back the sheepskin drape these wolves have placed on their motives, and heed President Lincoln’s centuries-old words from a near-bygone era of truly moral Republican politicians: "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain

We need to ask ourselves if we would just be submissive to someone telling us how to live our life. We need to ask if it’s right for someone else to tell us who we can and cannot love. We need to ask ourselves if we would be okay with someone telling us to change something that is a part of how we are. We cannot just oppress these people because they are a part of every country, race, religion, and gender. We need to give them the same rights as every other minority. “...Let us keep in mind that our commitments to protect the freedom of religion and defend the dignity of LGBT people emanate from a common source”

Being a mixed ethnic girl, I can relate to being hated. I do not believe wanting transgenders to use a separate bathroom than a child stems from hate. In my stance it is no different than not wanting a adult in the same bathroom with a child being male or female. It's really about with the opposite for me. I applaud family rest rooms,that are of small capacity. I love everyone and hold no harm to any. I do believe God created male and female. I feel sad for people who feel they were born that way. They are though no different in heart than I am or my sins,and yes i view sins as falling and or lost to be against the Bibles instructions for us.It speaks very clearly if it, and all of the others. I do feel bad for people who are in the middle

By condemning these people viewed as ‘different’ and categorized as damned by religious texts, those rejecting transgender and homosexuals, such as Leelah Alcorn’s parents, become monsters themselves. The objections against homosexuals and transgender people are not original thoughts; people placing them in the role of ‘outcasts’ utilize the Old and New Testaments to support their arguments, forcing their religious beliefs onto everyone and choosing to selectively read passages, using quotes that denounce anyone within the LGBTQIA and ignoring other quotes within the texts that talk about their God loving all of his creations and that he made them perfectly. Instead, many religious communities reject basic human rights such as the ability to love who they choose or to decide who they want to be. Some will go as far as attempt to “rehabilitate” those within the LGBTQIA community, like Leelah’s experience with an array of biased Christian therapists. The purpose of these ‘conversion therapies’ is to convince someone that they are not homosexual, or that they are not transgender. These therapies force people to reject their identities in favor of those that a religious society deems as appropriate, specifically cisgender and heterosexual. There is not a large community that supports these courses of action; there are even laws on the legislative table that are meant to disband conversion therapies and give more rights to the LGBTQIA community, however these are new developments. Most objections to these views come from members of the LGBTQIA community and allies. In the aftermath of Leelah Alcorn’s suicide, social medias exploded with outrage as teenagers who could relate to her situation in some way learned of her

So I left to go to the can. On the way down the hall I got worried thinking that I had actually hurt him. In the bathroom there were a few guys there that I had seen from the game. I assume that they had heard the whole ordeal from the can as well as the whole floor. After I got ready for bed I went back to our room and layed down. As I started to drift off to sleep I heard Holden come back to the room and grab stuff from the closet. I was wondering if he was okay but I knew better than to talk to him about the previous situation. I heard the door open and close, I assume Holden had gone for a walk or

“Cool. My name is Justin, by the way. So is it true that you’re testifying against that Andy Evans? He is sooo disgusting. I don’t know what girls see in him.Everyone knows how nasty he is now,Justin Realizing that I had just made my first new friend in a very long time, I began to talk to him. I mean really talk to him. Not the kind of conversation I’d usually had with people, where I assured them that I was okay, and thanked them for their present or card. Me and James talk all the time now during and outside of summer school.

Many LGBT people don’t accept their call of accepting their sexuality and living their lives simply because they are pressured or feel that they must adhere to the strict sexual regulations concerning the human sexuality as found in the bible. To illustrate this point, in 1 Timothy, a letter written by the Apostle Paul who was converted from judaism, wrote to his pupil Timothy that the old law of Moses was intended for the “sexually immoral people and practicing homosexuals” (1Tim 1:9-11) which has lead many future christians to believe that homosexual people are immoral and transgress against God since the law was intended to point out the flaws of man and regulate their lives in order for them to live in harmony with God and dwell in his presence in the

Non-Christians believe that love is love no matter the gender of the people. They feel that no judgement should be passed on the people of the gay community. Christians have a different view on this matter. We are raised believing that, according to the Bible, homosexuality is a sin. “Don’t you know that evil people will not receive God’s kingdom? Don’t be fooled. Those who commit sexual sins will not receive the kingdom. Neither will those who worship statues of gods or commit adultery. Neither will men who are prostitutes or who commit homosexual acts.” (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) “Do not have sex with a man as you would have sex with a woman. I hate that.” (Leviticus 18:22) “Suppose a man has sex with another man as he would have sex with a woman. I hate what they have done.” (Leviticus 20:13) Since Christians have this view that homosexuality is a sin, society tends to believe that we hate all gays. This view is wrong. Christians do not hate gays, we hate the sin they have committed, just as we hate all sin. Christians are seen as looking down on the gays. In reality, Christians see gays as someone that is sinning, and our aim is to help lead sinners out of the way of sinning. This misunderstanding leads to a lot of strife between Christians and non-Christians.

Growing up in a Christian, hispanic, home I was taught to believe that any form of gayness, cross dressing, or homosexuality was a sin that should be frowned upon. I also attend a church where those who are gay, transgender, or homosexual are seen as possessing an evil spirit that compel them to act “differently” than the way God intended them to act; which in our religion is following traditional male and female roles. Being hispanic also contributed to this view that any LGBTQ act was a disgrace. Neither one of my family members or even relatives have ever been gay, or at least not that we know of, because it is seen in my culture and religion as shameful and immoral.

I have nothing against people whole like the same sex everyone has the right to like who they want without being judged for it. When gay marriage was legalized I was happy. People who have been waiting for it to be legalized can finally be happy with each other and it is official in the state. With that being said, people are so quit to judge, and assume things that are not the way they are thinking it is. I am a heterosexual myself. I hope to marry a handsome man later in life. Sometimes people often discriminate on woman depending on what they are trying to achieve in life. Not all jobs are for man, woman can do most things men can do as
