@slin @Dis_abled They never said that they hated you or LGBTQ people or that you were wrong because you were different. They’re allowed to have their own beliefs and they never said anything rude to anybody. Everyone else that responded before them in this post said something similar but only BobTheCat_’s reply was taken completely out of hand? And what I understood from it was that hating on someone’s life choices goes for anybody, not just LGBTQ people. Passive-aggressive things were said on both sides, not just from BobTheCat_. A lot can be misinterpreted from text and even if they did mean what you think they meant, they said multiple times that they did not want to continue having this discussion and they continued to get tagged. They tried explaining themselves multiple times and have already apologized for the way they phrased things. If you don’t like what they’re saying just ignore them instead of trying to blame them for things they never said or did to anybody. Like they said, BraceletBook is supposed to be a bracelet making community, but this post just turned into an unnecessary argument. The creator of this topic just wanted to ask for everybody’s opinions, not spread hate to the LGBTQ community.

@8renda people were explaining that tolerance doesn’t equal acceptance. Being lgbtq is not a ‘life choice’, but these people were acting like we have control over who we like or what we identify as. And yes, no one mentioned hate. But trying to act like ‘I love you, I just don’t love who you are as a person’ is a valid explanation and argument is not right. ‘I tolerate you, but don’t accept that you are a valid person who, like these rest of us, can’t control who we Iike or who we are.’ No one likes hearing that.

@Yelena_09 I understand where you’re coming from, but again, those things were never said by anybody. Just because they disagree with you does not mean they are tolerating or hating on you for any reason. They said they don’t “understand” but only because they are attracted to different people, like you said.

@8renda no they weren’t exactly said, but that is the sum. But I don’t understand how people can disagree with other people simply for existing. It doesn’t make any sense to me because no one chooses to be lgbtq. In this society? But that’s simply how you are, and you can’t control it

@Yelena09 A big reason many people don’t agree with the LGBTQ community is because of religion and that’s just how some people were raised. I get that people can’t choose to be LGBTQ but putting words in someone’s mouth is a choice and things were interpreted wrong. Other people are very disrespectful and hateful towards the LGBTQ community and I definitely don’t think that it’s okay, but BobTheCat_ did not mean any harm to you or anybody else who responded in this forum topic. I completely agree about what you said for hating on people that are just existing but BobTheCat_ did not mean it that way and that’s why they continued to apologize for the way they phrased things.

IMO you’re doing nothing wrong. Knowing LGBTQ+ ppl isn’t required in order for you to respect them. I as an example am bi and literally only know straight ppl. As long as you genuinely don’t carry any hatred against LGBTQ+ you’re good : )

So, recently, I got married. My family had so much to say about my gay marriage, and, none of it was positive. But what's our motto? "WHO CARES!". We had a great time, and are really happy together. We both have a good life going, jobs and such. But one thing we never really thought through very thoroughly, was how to deal with hate. We are adults, its not like we cant take some criticism, but honestly, its left and right. We live in a very unsupportive area, which, will soon probably change. Anywho, we have been dealing with everything from people approaching us in grocery stores, and people knocking on our door to either preach to us, or attempt to force their opinion on us. We knew there were going to be some haters, but we never thought more than 3 quarters of the towns population. Good fun. Moral of the story: I respect other peoples opinion. I do, however, not respect forcing it up on anyone else. ~ And, No matter where you are, who you are, heck, even what you are, just know there are gonna be people who just try to tear you down, but never, and I mean NEVER let anyone stop you from being who you are( In my case, even if you have to get out of the state 😂 ). If you are in disagreement with the LGTBQ+ community, then please, please please, just don't go trolling someone for them to change themselves. I'm not saying you should keep your opinions quiet, but just, share them with some respect, we have feelings to. I will be and want to be, myself no matter what. I hope you feel the same ❤️ Go be YOU, whatever, whoever, that may be.

@jffoley1 congrats on your marriage! And I hope things get better soon. Acceptance can be in the form of not bothering people. I wish people understand that and stop trying to "save" someone or whatever tyey think they are doing.

I personally don't support lgbt as a Catholic. I've been harrassed and attacked because of it many times, but my view will not change. As long as you do not condemn and attack lgbt, you will be fine, because it's God's place to judge them. No hate to anyone. 🙂

It’s important to recognize that personal growth is a journey, and it's great that you're open to being more accepting. Respecting others and not engaging in discrimination is a positive start. Expanding your understanding through conversations, reading, or engaging with LGBTQ+ communities and allies can help bridge the gap between your upbringing and a more inclusive perspective. Everyone’s path is different, and taking steps toward empathy and acceptance is valuable. Keep engaging in open dialogues and learning; it’s a step forward in fostering inclusivity.

Hey! Im a christian myself, but i do not like lgbtq, i do not applaud it, and i do not say its right. i respect the person in itself, but never the lgbtq in a person. God says in the bible (i can find it if u want) that a man should not wear females clothing and vice versa. Gad also says, man shall not lay with man.If u would like to know anything else, feel free to tag me or private masseage me! Just pls know, when ppl say love is love, God does not say that. and when ppl say ur gonna go to h*ll if ur lgbtq, God doesnt say that either, he says repent of ur sins, and you shall be forgiven! Stand strong! ❤️

as a Christian i think that’s a good way to handle it! i like to think of it as “love the sinner, not the sin,” meaning even if you don’t interact with them, that doesn’t mean that you hate them. another similar way is that you can dislike being around young children, or simply just don’t have any that you could be around even if you wanted, but that doesn’t mean that you’re a bad person for that, it just means you’re not seeking out people actively, which is generally okay!

The reason I think it’s toxic is because one time o was going for a walk in downtown anf there was a mob of LGBTQ ,queers, pride, lesbians, wokes etc and they were blocking everything and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING and they were wearing shirts that we’re saying bad stuff about trump like bad words the bad finger with bad signs and I had to go home
