HuffPost Demands ‘Dangerous’ Christians Give Up Their Faith For LGBTQ Groups

Kudos to the Huffpost for trying to find some common ground between the LGBTQ community and Christians. And by finding common ground, we mean adopting a scorched earth/take-no-prisoners tactic in its war against those with different points of view.

Huffpo’s little educational piece, titled “Christians, Here’s How To Affirm Your Queer Friends,” is an uncompromising list of demands for traditional Christians who, wthether they’ve intended it or not, have caused great harm to fragile LGBTQ psyches throughout history. They’ve come for their revenge, and it’s not just about treating your gay neighbor civilly. You will accommodate his/her/their every wish or consider yourself guilty of violence.

Essentially, Sunday school repression has destroyed the well-beings of many a queer kid, and the years of confusion following Sister Mary’s aversion to hosting lesbian sex education classes means a reckoning is on the horizon.

Author Hannah Brashers employs the best example of how Christians should not treat gay people and then insists that this is what people of faith do. Furthermore she refuses the counterpoint that actual Christians aren’t like because that would just be inconvenient, wouldn’t it?

She begins, “I grew up in a tiny fundamentialist church where I was told every Sunday how evil ‘homosexuals’ were.” She adds, “The pastor’s voice would shake with anger as he compared gay people to pedophiles. I knew I was gay, but any time I had thoughts about women, I instantly suppressed them.”

Because of such normal everyday Christian behavior, when Brashers began dating women, “I had panic attacks and nausea so severe that I threw up a few times a week.” She adds, “I share my story because I want people to know how damaging the religion can be and I want people like myself to feel less alone.”

What gives? Even old-school conservatives know that the “God Hates F*gs” gang is a tiny fringe. Nope, can’t go there. Brashers can’t stand people who insist that “that’s not what real Christianity is,” calling the notion “manipulative,” “a form of gaslighting” and saying that it “silences the stories of queer people.”

So what’s the alternative? Take the blame for overzealous whackos and have the the Gospel furthered forced out of the public square? Precisely. Brashers’ opinion represents the current state of LGBTQ politics which is a bit more aggressive than the movement's older trope of “Live and let live.”

After calling Christianity “dangerous to the LGBTQ community,” Brashers lists her demands for “queer-affirming” Christians, which require total capitulation to the LGBTQ lobby. She writes, “firstly, affirming 100% of our identities is crucial. So many of us are used to the homophobic Christians who use the ‘love the sinner; hate the sin’ trope.” Yeah we can’t even disagree in private anymore. Transgender four-year-olds, for example, are now a beautiful reality.

“Secondly,” she writes, “recognizing the pain that Christianity has inflicted on queer communities is important … a real apology can go a long way.” Yes, we must admit that the Bible and church teachings have been in error, and amend them. What else?

And “thirdly,” Brashers adds, “it is also crucial for queer-affirming Christians to hold other Christians accountable.” This is what “ally-ship looks like,” she claims. Mmm-hmm, always remember to reveal the full identity of non-queer-affirming heretics to the Bureau.

Satire aside, this type of rhetoric should be a wake up call for moderate conservatives who think that LGBTQers just want to co-exist. They need to alter or eradicate groups that don’t think like them.

Democrat Fred Phelps’ stunt group comprised of his family of Leftist lawyers.

Fred ran for office several times as a Democrat and was friendly with Al and Tipper Gore.

He openly protested the Iraq war at the funeral of veterans.

He’s the lone figure the Left used to smear Christian opposition to “gay rights”.

Later Barack Hussein Obama used a butthurt bisexual Islamonazi to smear Christian opposition to same sex marriage saying it caused the Pulse nightclub slaughter. The killer said in his 911 calls that he was killing people because of Obama’s drone strike attacks on muslim nations.

NOW founder Kate Millett agrees. She opposed age of consent laws and advocated for sex between women and girls.

[NetAddicted]

Oy. Sounds like a new HuffPo article.

[KosmicKitty]

I’ll give up my religion when they give up theirs - climate change

[Salman]

Who are HuffPo that you should be mindful of them?

[A_perfect_lady]

Let’s see her strut up to Islam and say all this.

[xp38]

Their religion is communism. Climate change is just a means to it.

[HighSierra5]

The unbelievers hate us because we love Jesus. They hate Jesus because he exposes their wicked behavior. They are showing their hold cards when they tell us to accept deviant behavior or else. The “or else” is something to be concerned about. If they ever get into TOTAL control that will be the beginning of the Tribulation. Actually that is a good thing because it will usher in the second coming and I don’t know about you brother,but I’m exhausted from the constant onslaught by these Godless bastards and bastardettes.

[SauronOfMordor]

If we have learned ANYTHING, it is that the Left will NEVER be satisfied. That every accommodation will just result in new demands.

The only response should be to make NO accommodation at all.

[SauronOfMordor]

Why does the Left not attack Islam over their treatment of gays, but attacks Christians? Because they know we will back down, while the Muslims will kill them if they disrespect Islam.

I call BS on that.

I don't know of one preacher who spends every week focusing on one topic.

[metmom]

Yes, we must admit that the Bible and church teachings have been in error, and amend them. What else?

Wrong, lady (and I use the term loosely).

YOU are in error.

[chesley]

Well, I guess it’s a good thing for me that I am not gay-affirming. I’ve had a couple of gay friends (yeah, leave it alone, I don’t care; but we maintained the friendship by avoiding the subject.

[Wiser now]

I agree with you. I’ve spent most of my 74 years in church on Sunday morning and I can honestly say I NEVER heard a sermon on homosexuality until the Supreme Court legalized their marriages a few years ago. Then our pastor’s advice was to love them into a personal relationship with Christ.
My oldest daughter, a lesbian who grew up in that church and literally never heard such a sermon for the 20 years she spent there, now believes this every Sunday sermon lie. So does her “wife” who was also raised in a church. From what I hear, they are both alcoholics who are trying to force homosexuality on my 14 year old grandson, alienating her three sisters in the process. She is no longer speaking to us, for reasons unknown to us, beyond our steadfast refusal to renounce our Christianity so she can feel better about her own sin.

[metmom]

What a tragic story.

I’m so sorry for the pain that your family is going through.

I guess when you give into one lie from the enemy, it gives him that foothold he needs to feed more into your mind.

It was kinda depressing seeing all the homosexual pride parades being celebrated around the world (when I made some memes). BUT it CONFIRMS the Word of the Lord (tagline). They are doing exactly what the Lord God said they would do.

The Two Witnesses will preach the Law and the Prophets to them. They will REALLY hate the Two Witnesses.

Then the Antichrist will kill the Two Witnesses at the middle of the Tribulation. Their bodies will be viewed ALL around the world. That has been possible since live TV and internet cameras. Probably will be on Facebook Live, too.

Three and one-half days later, they come to life and rapture into Heaven in the sight of the WHOLE WORLD.

Then, it's the Great Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast by the False Prophet. The Remnant of Israel flees to Petra.

The bowls of God's wrath are really poured out then. Those who refuse the Mark of the Beast will starve and have their heads cut off AND live forever. Those who accept the Mark of the Beast will laugh, buy and sell, eat, make merry, send gifts to one another from Amazon.com and burn in the Lake of Fire forever, starting at the Second Coming. The sheep and the goats will be divided. It has already started, essentially.

I just talked to a guy at an (unnamed so don't bother asking LOL) convenience store chain. The have a new system being test-marketed that images your purchase, charges you and you walk out without a clerk helping you (probably phone pay, debit/credit). Things are moving rapidly. Sure, it's amazing technology and really cool. Until a dictator rises to power. The liberals may win the Globalism round but they lose the Eternity round and that's the important one.

[SaveFerris]

You’re on the right path. Hang in there.

[Karliner]

They’ll start burning churches and ironically leave the mosques unscathed. Lucifer is a brilliant tactician but his days are numbered.

[SaveFerris]

My favorite song by them

[SaveFerris]

[I really don’t give two hoots for unbelievers telling me I’m wrong about what the Scripture plainly teaches. Their minds are darkened and they need to have the light of God shine upon them. The real danger are the wolves in the church who will twist the scriptures to justify sinful behavior and purposely mislead the flock.]
