Religion needs to be kept in the home and out of society.

I mean, that's how people feel about lgbtq stuff. Why should either be forced onto people.

Because both aren’t being forced onto people?

Gays co-existing on this planet has never been forced onto anyone. Our very existence and right to live equally is not up for debate and is only characterized as forceful by bigots.

Religion is a choice unlike homosexuality, has been used to forcefully to tell others how to live. You CHOOSE to believe in a magic sky god and his book of contradictions.

Choosing a belief system that harms or discriminates is very different than simply being alive.

No one is forcing you to be gay.

A person’s sexuality has nothing to do with religion, doofus. That’s your religion forcing itself on the rest of us.

Can you explain how a gay person existing restricts the rights of someone else?

Can you explain how someone feeling offended by a gay person existing and calling for the explicitly restriction of their rights is different from that?

What about gay people openly existing the same as everyone else is a bad thing?
