And then they’ll say “our religion says that it’s wrong being gay”

Imagine being “religious” and doing this ****. I hate this world. I hate that 90% of people will accept this. I hate it here so much. This is so sick. 

yeah religion is BS for sure

Every single religious person should be investigated and Abrahamic religions should be treated exactly the way we treat cults but you're not ready for that conversation :crossed:

This. They should be treated as cults because they ARE cults.

And they are dangerous.

There are many nice straight folks, it's burn the homophobes. Sometimes I think each country needs their own Stonewall.

I'm honestly so tired of having to be constructive and nice to people who'd have me shot in a heartbeat tbh. Like, I get up every day with the thoughts of "who the **** am I gonna have to fight over something homophobic today". And I do fight people over it, because even if they can't hurt me, I can't let others like me see homophobes spewing their rhetoric and think that's okay. And yet, one part of me is just... tired. 

So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

I know that feeling, it's even worse when it comes from people in our comunity.

I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes.

Gagas lil monster

This is absolutely horrific, disgusting and completely unacceptable. It is time that religion is held accountable and those who preach at any form of place of worship should be made it accept and preach love for the LGBTQ+ Community. The way that, especially Christianity, can continue to claim to be all loving and free from judgement yet condemn people for loving who they love or being who they are makes me sick. I struggle each day going to my Christian school because each day I am bullied and shamed for being gay. On the streets we are seeing hate crimes against us take place on the streets and we can't just stand around and allow it to happen. We must do something about this and hold every one of these homophobic pieces of sh*t accountable 

With Peace and love

Fed up of basically saying "sorry for being me" to homophobic people. The fact we have to pretend to be ashamed to live anymore is terrifying. 

Chromatica will live on forever.

It's not a religion that burned a man, it's another man. We don't even know if he's religious or not. Stop acting like religions are the problem, people are. Them using religion as a justification for crimes shouldn't fool anyone.

Oh, so religion can radicalize people into killing others, but religion is not at fault because since it is an abstract concept, it did not kill that person by itself?

see now you fail to distinguish between religion and radicalization, which are two different things, both in purpose and process. And no, I don't think religions are responsible (I differentiate between religions and people who embody or believe in it), first because it would be a way to make people less responsible and also because it is just used as a pretext to legitimize more intricate impulses. But that's just my opinion

okay girl

I don't have anything more to tell you if your first instinct coming to a thread about a man being burnt in a homophobic hate crime is to defend religion - which is undoubtedly one of the greatest elements in our oppression. 

you do you.

I'm sorry if you took it in a bad way, I just wanted to point out that actual humans commit crimes that need to be punished

my instinct was not to defend anything but to condemn a man which nothing indicates that he is religious and who committed a heinous crime, whereas half of the thread just had words only about religions and not about the criminal or even the victim

I wanna call you many names right now, this type of idiocy is off the walls

Abrahamic religious books literally condone r*pe, child murder, homophobia, sexism and more. If you believe "religion isn't at fault, radicalization is", you either know nothing about the teachings of said religions OR are a huge hypocrite. 

Society at large thinks like you so you probably feel like the rational one here. Thankfully some of us see through this bullshit :madge:
