This right here is the problem with Christians today. And why I have a growing hatred of them. They like to turn things around, and make it sound like they don't really hate LGBT people. They just want to force them into celibacy! And they want to deny them the right to marry their life partners. What's so bad about that? Then in the next voice they cry about people not saying Merry Christmas to them in stores.
Yes, Mike Pence is Anti-LGBT. As are a great number of Christians. They'll pretend otherwise. They'll use their faith as a shield. Much like people used their faith as a shield for racism. "It's just my belief! I'm entitled to my belief!" Sure you are. Doesn't mean you get to force it down everyone else's throat, and fund it with government money. No way, no how. You don't have to support gay marriage, but unless you hate LGBT people there's no reason for you to think it should be banned. I don't care if it upsets your god. If your god wants to set the rules, he can come down here himself and set them in person. Until then, gay people should have a right to marry their partners. And not supporting that DOES make you homophobic. Because your religion doesn't get to dictate what other people do.
I don't hate or fear LGBT people. That you cannot accept that seems to be an issue.
It sounds like you may be pushing your hatred and intolerance onto others? I think that there is a lot of issues with reasoning here. but I don't think that any of that justifies mis-represeniting those you oppose.
This seems to be the ugly head of identity politics
