Lies

I’m sure there’s a ton of people out there who claim to be accepting of Gays but that are really not.

 

[Secret Chief]

Certainly.

 

[VoidCat]

Yep. I've met them in real life.

Tolerance more so than acceptance. If you can say "I accept gay people" then align them with beastality and murder" there's a problem.

I'm sure you're right. I'm also sure there are people who don't really care whether people are gay, and pretend that they don't like homosexuality because their religious community expects it of them.

Thanks

Their community, pastor or someone in particular? The book itself? Family member most likely hey?

All of the above. It's the culture.

Hell, it's one of the reasons I ultimately left my faith. It never sat right with me that homosexuality (or anything LGBT) was a bad thing.

A gay is a human being just like every other human being. People are hypocritical though, i reckon that without religious intolerance and toxicity and the gay bashing brigade there would be far more people willing to accept homosexuality as it is, part of the human condition

Definitely. It's the same with most types of bigotry. Like, where I lived in Indiana no one would call themselves a racist, they say they don't have problems with black people, but then their actions are to warn people about being where black people live, say racist "jokes," ridicule biracial children, and now and then you'll hear one of them openly say they should be able to still own black people as slaves. Of course they aren't racist, they'll claim as they point out black coworkers and acquaintances they claim as friends.
Or the guy who claims go not have any problems with women, but gets upset over the idea of a woman being in authority over him.
It's also that with trans people. My mom says she supports me but she's saod many things that make it clear she doesn't. A former member here who said he's cool with trans people took some by surprise when he said it's rape if a (post op) transwoman has sex with a man because the transwoman is allegedly misrepresenting herself.

Or maybe far less

Or maybe far less

I personally think that is doubtful.

Well never know

 

[ChristineM]

Well never know

Thats true so the hypothetical is a waste of time

 

[SomeRandom]

Oh no doubt. But I am curious to see how well it is accepted among my fellow millennials and the gen Z crowd.
It looks like the next hill to climb with regards to societal acceptance will be transgendered people. After that maybe the non binary crowd. Not sure which hill will crop up after that.

As the old saying goes ... actions speak louder than words.

Some more than gen before but it’ll still have it’s fair share of liars
