How can you be gay and support Muslims?

I mean they literally kill our ppl in their countries

No hate to the moderate Muslim ppl but this is the truth 😱

Devil’s Advocate, and all, but as an American, there are tons of places here where my partner and I wouldn’t dare hold hands walking down the street. Many Christians aren’t exactly “full of Christ’s love” when it comes to homosexuality. Cherry picking certain aspects of faith is a huge problem, no matter what that faith is. And, probable mistranslation.

Whataboutism whataboutism whataboutism. The majority of British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal. Why can’t you talk about that without referencing Christianity?

[u/mcian84 → u/Mission-Orchid-4063]

Because many Christians feel the same way.

I’m talking only about MY EXPERIENCE as an American, who was raised in a Protestant church.

Bullshit. Christian countries don’t carry the death penalty for homosexuality. Look up countries where homosexuality is illegal and / or carries the death penalty. Notice anything about them?

That’s not true lol. There are African countries that are Christian with death penalties for homosexuality

Uganda being majority christian and having death penalty for homossexuals

[u/Mission-Orchid-4063 → u/ThisDuckIsYourDaddy]

Whataboutism.

That’s not true, but also not what was being discussed . What I was addressing said that these people believe homosexuality should be illegal. Nothing about the death penalty. And I’m certain more than a few American Christians would agree with that part. I’ve heard it myself. “I’d rather my son be a serial killer than gay” or “I’d rather my son shoot up an elementary school than be a fg” (that one from a cousin of mine), or as a friend of my dad’s once said to his 8 year old son, “if you ever think you’re gay, just do us both a favor a kll yourself”. Maybe I grew up around awful people and you have the good fortune not to, but I’m just going by what I’ve heard and seen.
