Oyy, I’m throwing more trash into the dumpster fire here...
Homosexuality is not actually medically “detrimental to health,” provided appropriate std protection is utilized (also true in heterosexual relationships). Forcing heterosexuality on a homosexual, on the other hand, IS detrimental to mental health, as shown by the disaster that is conversion therapy. Emotional and verbal abuse from the resident bible thumper is too. Anyone who thinks that “lovingly being told your sexual preference is anti-Bible” is actually the way most gay people are approached by Christians is delusional or has somehow missed all the “god hates fags” types running around out there making a mockery of normal faithful people. I’m a physician, known outspoken conservative, solid in my community, and even I was told I was “going to hell” for marrying someone outside my baptized faith. I can’t imagine what these same “lovingly disagreeing” Christians might tell a gay man or woman behind closed doors.
I agree OP shouldn’t have brought up her liberal vs conservative leanings, as it has no relevance to her question and makes her look like she’s “saving face.” But all these people then proceeded to jump down OP’s throat to show how she was a bad Christian and how Christianity has specific prescriptions for behavior. The Bible also says you can sell your daughters into sexual slavery. It was written for tribal times, hence activities that threatened the propagation of the tribe/community (homosexuality which meant no kids, eating pork which was infested with parasites) were written down as “sins” to ensure the survival of the community. These “sins” evolved with time. Some fell into obscurity, others came into play. If a person followed the Bible to its word exactly today, they’d be jailed. And just as an FYI...The only thing God wrote in His own hand were the Ten Commandments. The rest was written by men, and thus is open to interpretation, and has been for years (see Vatican I, II, etc.) So spare us the “but muh true Christian beliefs!” BS, and just answer the OP’s damn question instead of proselytizing.
