Why do religious people hate LGBT so much?

[Tazor]

I mean, yeah, sure, this is ONE of the things the Bible is against. But it doesn't talk about this on every possible occasion.

If anything, the hate towards greed seems to be the most common theme. It talks about how greedy people will burn in hell and have no chance at getting into heaven. Why aren't they ransacking the mansions of the multi billionaires? Or doing anything at all about it. They just ignore this fact. Today we have greed on a record level. And it keeps growing with each year. Some people are hoarding enough wealth to live like kings for many, MANY lifetimes while a lot of other people barely have anything.

There is also another big issue. A big, round, blue and green issue. Earth. And all the creatures living here. God's greatest creation according to the Bible. We believed Earth to be the centre of the universe for a very long time, with all the other astral bodies spinning around it. We are actively burning, poisoning and destroying it with complete disregard. You don't see many religious people who are climate activists. Especially among the middle aged or older people. Climate activism seems to be a common trait among young non religious people.

Marriage. Another important topic. Traditional marriage is gone. LGBT marriages are a tiny percentage worldwide so I don't get the hate. Heterosexual marriages seem to be the bigger problem number wise according to traditional values. Women don't obey their husbands anymore. They are no longer required to be "pure" when getting married. They divorce their men very often and take everything they can in court. 70% of divorces are started by women, 90% women among college educated couples. Almost feels like revenge for what they had to endure. Why aren't they pushing for stronger laws to bring back traditional marriage?

Of all the things the Bible talks against and much more often, they sure picked a random thing to be angry about.

Honestly I think most people hate LGBT because the majority (or a very-vocal minority) of them are just annoying as f*ck.

Barely anybody cared 10ish years ago when they legalized gay marriage nationwide. THAT should have been the end of it.
But, much like feminists, they continue "advocating" for absolute bullsh*t even though they have equality under the law already.

Groupthink much? Prior to POTUS#45 all LBG+ hate was (and still is) limited to actual white supremacists since they hate just about everyone. POTUS#44 started the racial animus and exploded with the BLM movement, everyone not hard-left were suddenly "white supremacists".

The LBG+ movement went corporate, and expanded to driving christians in the exact same respect. Since more hate was needed, "islamophobia" went mainstream corporate as well.

In other words, it's not the community, it's the activism promoted by the media. Hook, line and sinker.

OT never gets enough threads like these

Because they hate anything that is different from them, not only LGBT people.

So basically they didn't read the Bible. They don't really know anything about the religion they claim to be faithful towards. They are just uneducated, easily influenced people who watch the news every night and want everyone to be like them.

High consumption of TV and intolerance towards anything different seem to be common traits among "religious" people. So it kind of makes sense.

they just hate our swag

In all seriousness I think it's because the anti-gay verse in the bible was mistranslated. There are older translations of the bible where that verse was saying "man shall not lay with boy" as in adult and child. This of course got "mistranslated" to "man shall not lay with man". Kinda strange that the verse saying "don't be a pedophile" got changed to not say that, don't you think?

Also because there have been some sexual crimes committed by a few members of the lgbtq+ community, and homophobes take those individuals and paint every member of the community as perverts and "groomers" as if cis-het people aren't also capable of that kind of crap and that there haven't been more cases of CSA committed by members of the church than drag queens. Sounds like they're projecting, honestly, but that's just me.

Nobody is hating anybody. Unless of course there is activism and extremeties, in the picture. I mean, i haven't seen any straight parade in semi-nude, marching in front of LGBT communities and doing their thing in public, instead of getting a room!

It is a matter of self-respect/esteem first and foremost. But to be fair, some people can be stuck up and hate on others, even without ample reason provided by their target.

It ultimately is a matter of "live and let live", as well as "equality". In order to respect somebody, said somebody ought to respect you too. Not bait, flame and backstage engineer the destruction of the entire ecosystem (patriarchy is evil, one example out of many).

I myself have no issue with anybody, unless they intentionally provoke the public feeling, my aesthetics, or pose a threat for societal norms. Preaching, advocating and intentionally projecting on others as in a "spamming" fashion, actually doesn't help much, towards mutual tolerance, understanding and ultimately, peaceful coexistence and amicable relations.

Well, a lot of people are against what the claim to support, in truth.

[Messy]

It has something to do with nature, not religion. China and Russia are pro-atheist giants, and are bigger bigots than whatever western Christian nation you find most far-leftists in.

I don't know about China, but in Russia, the LGBT movement specifically, is prone to become a freeride carrier of western propaganda. By constantly pushing western morals, or lack of them thereof, utilizing other agendas completely unrelated to the rights of LGBT individuals/communities/groups and becoming a tool of active political aggression against the governmental body; the recent ban doesn't seem as unjustified as it could, even among the western audience itself.

The result is apparent. At military, first and foremost. Just cast a glimpse upon the Nato armies, the condition of its people and then, Russian one. Compare and contrast what hardships the society can endure through, the unison that can come out of traditional values, the priorities of a civilian as in Nation, State, society and last but not least, the willingness to act for its truest best interests.

Which neo-liberal "democratic" country, could act like Russia, one standing alone against 50 enemies banded together and unleashing blind hits, from blind spots? Which is the most they can ever hope to achieve, by the way...

Again really? :-/

I think both sides tend to typecast and assume much of each other, usually based on the worst actors on either side.

If I've noticed anything about humanity over time it is that we often don't want to understand each other. We just want to assume the worst of anyone who doesn't think like we do even though we have have more in common than we have that separates us. We just tend to focus on and maximize the differences while minimizing and ignoring the similarity.
