Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Our Partnered Discord Server: GayWave
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

MODERATORS
The Bible isn't against any of those things. They chose to make their interpretation disagree with reality and now they have to constantly defend against reality.
Point is, it's a hard life being dishonest. That's why there's a rule against lying in that book.
I think your heart is in the right place, but the perspective may be a bit off, or I misunderstood you.
Saying that "the Bible isn't against those things" is kinda the same thing. In this instance, you may be an ally, but in some other topic you can be on the opposing end.
The heart of the matter isn't one of interpretation.
It's about seeing the bible as a rulebook, as a set of laws. That is the issue.
Choosing to see it as a collection of stories instead, from which one can reflect on and come to one's own moral values, that's something I can appreciate.
