If your personal beliefs lead you to disrespect another group of people then your beliefs should be shown nothing but disrespect in return.
I have lots of friends who are religious and they're all totally fine with me being gay and transgender, and they love and support the pride moment, as do the churches they belong to. I have no problem with religion or personal beliefs, but I won't tolerate any belief that won't tolerate me just existing in the same world as them.
The churches are ok with it? I thought religion dictates that if you are gay you will burn in hell for eternity?
Only the ones that like to ignore the bit about "Jesus Saves"; which nowadays is a lot of them.
Edit: the sane churches are the ones that say, "god gave us a brain, that means he wants us to use it"; the ones that show up on the news all the time are the ones that say, "god gave us a brain so Satan could tempt us."
I don't go to church alot, but when I do i attend an Episcopal church with two reverends, one gay, one a woman. They sell shirts in the gift shop that say things like "I'm Episcopalian because it's okay to believe in dinosaurs".
United Church seems fine
Several Anglican churches are Catholics with gays and women leaders.
Cognitove dissonence.
