Cry about it, British moron.

I know many of them, in fact, I AM LITERALLY BI. So no, I'm not supporting gay people because I want to annoy BritishMoron, I've been supporting gay people because I'M GAY.

Welp. He walked right into that one, didn’t he. 🏳️‍🌈

Yes I did, but it ain't no thang.

So because you are gay you feel you have the right to harass someone because of their religion? If that is the case then shouldn't he have the right to harass you because you are gay?

He was literally the one who went up to me and said that I'm too young to be gay.

I just read what he said and he did not literally or figuratively say you were too young to be gay. He said, "A tad young for the LGBTQ stream no?". He was talking about the your age in relation to the LGBTQ stream, not your age in relation to your sexual attraction.

I can't nor will I tell you what you should do our how to live your life because I am not your parent. That is your parents and only your parent's responsibility. But I agree that 15 is too young for involving yourself in a discussion of adult oriented topics.

1. Parents shouldn't tell their child how to live their life either.
2. No, it is not too young. Kids have crushes, and adults are actually okay with girls having crushes on boys and boys having crushes on girls. But for some reason, a young girl having a crush on a girl and a boy having a crush on a boy is not okay and that's just so wrong because love is love, and there's no difference between straight couples and gay couples.

1. What you are going to find out is that your parents are always going to tell you how to live your life. Even if you are 60 and they are 90. That is just what parents do. The difference is that when you are a teenager you hate it. When you are in your 20s and older you want it. Then when they die you feel lost and have so many unanswered questions. Both my parents are dead.

2. Is that what your parents are telling you? If that is the case then just hang on until your 18 and them move. Because you are their responsibility. They have the age and wisdom to try to help you get through things that you cannot even begin to understand. You can be the smartest 15 year old on the planet but you just do not have the years of experience behind you that your parents have. You will miss them when they have passed on and you will miss their wisdom. I can guarantee that. Well... that is assuming your parents love you. My father-in-law was mentally abusive to my wife all her life growing up. She doesn't miss him now that he is gone but she misses her mother.

It’s extremely likely you know a gay person. It’s estimated least 5% of the population is LGBTQ. That may not sound like a lot, but do you know 20 people?

Then you know at least one person who’s LGBTQ.

Do you know 200 people? 2,000 people? Do the math.

You may not be aware, however, if they haven’t come out to you. Keep that in mind. Either way, now that you know Jemy, you know (virtually) one LGBTQ person.

What are you trying to say, dude? I used to live in the San Francisco Gay...oops Bay Area. I've worked with gay people and I have gay friends. I don't live in the Gay Area any more but I've worked with gay people when I lived in Missouri. I have a lesbian friend on MeWe. I haven't actually met her. She is a Libertarian, which means to the left, she does not exist. I am not a Libertarian but I agree with a whole lot of stuff the Libertarians believe and that's what we have in common.

Do I know 200 people? Well let me "do the math". I'm 64 years old. So if I meet 3.125 people per year over the course of my life, then at my current age I know 200 people. Which means also means that if I met 31.25 people per year then at my current age I know 2000 people. I am not sure what that has to do with the tea in China but apparently it meant something to you.

So let me turn things around. BritishMormon and I are both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. How many members of the LDS Church do you know? Have you ever talked them before? Do you automatically despise us because of who we are?

Do you know 200 LDS people? Do you know 2,000 LDS people?

You may not be aware, however, if they never told you they were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, keep that in mind. Either way, now that you know BritishMormon and myself, you know (virtually) two members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

My best friend growing up was Mormon — he went to BYU and now lives out in Utah. Mitt Romney is one of my favorite Republicans. I got nothing against Mormons, every one I’ve met has been cheerful and upbeat.

I do have something against homophobes regardless of what religion they ascribe to (or no religion at all). In my experience homophobia and “deep religious conviction” go hand-in-hand, however, as a result of cherry-picking some verses of the Bible that are harsh on homosexuals while ignoring the nearby verses that are harsh on, say, mixed fabrics.

The guiding spirit of the teachings of Jesus is Love Thy Neighbor. Those who have read the Bible and haven’t come away with that message missed the point.

Most modern-day Christians ignore the weird prohibitions set forth in books like Leviticus and Deuteronomy. Indeed these are sideshows compared to the main message, and rejecting mixed fabrics as unholy plainly no longer has any utility (if it ever did).

I agree with most of what you said. I would just be careful not to blanket certain group as homophobes. There are a whole lot of Christians who know what the 1st and 2nd greatest commandments are, the 1st being to love God and the 2nd is to love your neighbor as yourself.

But love does not mean to condone or accept certain behaviors.

Jesus taught us that unless we were 100% sin free we have no right to condemn someone for commiting the same or another sin.

There are several passages in the Bible that says that homosexual behavior is a sin. They are not "cherry picked" to try to make something out of nothing. But sexual intercourse outside of marriage is a sin also. There are a whole lot more heterosexuals commiting the sin of fornication and adultery than the entire LGBT community.

The point of the Bible and Jesus' teachings is to focus on your own sins. Yes, you can remind people that what they are doing is a sin but after that you just need to keep your mouth shut.

I don't know many LDS people because I do my best to avoid them if I could because obviously, they wouldn't want to know me anyway and a lot of them (NOT ALL) are pretty toxic towards people like me, and BritishMormon is a good example of that.

Then you really don't know LDS people. I can tell you for a fact that LDS people are some of the most friendliest and genuinely kind people you will ever know. Do not ASSUME that we are all or even a majority of us hate you because of who you are. Prejudice is a two way street. When you hate us because you assume that we hate you then you have become the toxic person, not us. I don't hate you, I don't even know you. You cannot truly hate another person unless you know them. I don't give a flying crap that you are gay. That's your life. You live your life however you want.

I have no idea what has gone on between you and BritishMormon because I only read that one comment you pointed me to and you misunderstood what he said. Aside from that I have no idea what he may or may not have said to you. Honestly I didn't even know who you were until we just started talking.

I do know what God asks us to do so that we can live with Him for eternity and the typical gay lifestyle is incompatible with that. But only God is our judge, not me. God will not force anyone into heaven and I will not push you one way or the other. You live your life however you want.

Just don't be hating on people because of your assumptions or even the actions or the perceived actions of a person. It is real popular in today's society to bash Christians. There are even a whole lot of myths thrown around about who Christians are. Christianity is what this nation was founded on. Our founding fathers were all devout Christians. They did not impose some authoritarian theocracy on us, they gave us the freest nation that has ever existed. Freedom is at the core of Christianity.

There are a lot of people these days who think it is noble to "hate the hater". That is not noble and it makes you a hater and a prejudiced hater at that. You don't know if someone hates you just because they do not believe exactly like you. There's way too much accusation of hatred going on and all that does is cause division. Most people are decent people, however, online people can completely change from who they are in real life. I don't hate people but I do hate ideologies. I hate what the left is doing to this country. They do not care about freedom. Freedom of choice is the one of the greatest gifts God has given us.
