You're trying to censor Alex here, but what gives you the right to say the church grooms? Yes, there have been some people within the church who have abused children, but there have also been members of the lgbt community who have been proven to do the same. So if you have the right to brand the church as groomers, anyone else has the exact same right to brand lgbt as groomers too. Or maybe, if you don't want blanket statements about your preferred group, don't make blanket statements about the group you hate. Also, calm down.

It was proven that most child sex abuse happened in the church. Well before Florida Republicans decided to start calling the LGBTQ community groomers. That happened within the last two years. Proven abuse in both Catholic and Protestant Churches go back decades if not centuries. So the church people don't have a leg to stand on. Hundreds of thousands of victims have been verified as victims of Catholic Priests. Reguardless, most Groomers are Straight Men!

Nobody is censoring Alex. People are allowed to have different opinions. Furthermore, don’t tell people to calm down because you disagree with them. Alex was spreading harmful transphobic rhetoric.

If nobody was censoring me than can you explain why my comments were hidden.

Because people don’t agree with you pure and simple! Gasp, not everyone is going to agree with you especially when you spread anti-trans rhetoric? You can express your opinion, but you better be damned prepared to defend it if it harms LGBTQIA+ people

People are allowed to have different opinions until everyone else disagrees with them and their comment is hidden. Definitely.

First of all, don’t you dare ever, ever tell anybody to calm down because you don’t agree with them- it is immature and obnoxiously. Second of all, how am I censoring, Alex? I disagreed with his transphobic rhetoric as did other people. Him saying that God only made men and women is not going to sit well with some members of the queer community.Get off that high horse of yours as nobody is making blanket statements. You’re the one putting words in my mouth. Where the heck did I ever say I hate the church?

Hannah M, LGBTQIA+ community doesn't have a hierarchy full of double standards, passive-aggressive insinuations, genocide, cultural obliteration, sex abuse, ..... need we continue?

Imo, nobody's branding individuals, the individuals are being assumed to be sheep of their leaders. And: a) This is true more than it isn't, b) The LGBTQIA+ Community, to my knowledge, did NOT attack first.... they are the Ukraine to the religious Russia

It's not an opinion. It's hate speech and bigotry.

I find it hilarious that you call us hypocritical when we disagree with someone and don’t care for a harmful opinion. That’s what the downvote button is for. So we don’t agree with Alex’s comment where he mentions that God only created man and women and you’re annoyed at us? Let’s just say a lot of LGBTQIA+ people aren’t going to agree with Alex's sentiment about God only creating man and woman. So we have to agree with you now?

No. But you don’t have to throw your hate on us. I Can no longer see exactly what Alex said, but if it was simply about how God only created man and woman, Alex is right. It’s not hateful to believe that there are males and females. It’s not hateful to think lgbtq is wrong. You can think it’s wrong and still treats them like human beings

I love how you are complaining that we aren’t treating Alex’s opinion with respect yet here you are telling us that are opinions are wrong. Talk about hypocrisy. No, I’m not treating anyone who treats LGBTQIA+ people with disdain and denies their existence with kindness. Stop patronizing people.

People who show hatred to LGBTQIA+ people and deny their existence and think they are wrong or sinful are not people I ever want to be around. Don’t ever patronize me like this.

All opinions are fine unless they cause harm to people.

Thinking it is wrong is literal bigotry.
