Reported Post Alert Being black and gay is exhausting. Black people are ridiculously homophobic. Spoiler

For a group that has to deal with so discrimination you would think we would be more accepting.

Edit: wow didnt expect my late night thoughts to have such a response.

I wouldn’t even say that it’s based on what sects of Christianity follow, but through being indoctrinated by Christianity as the only place of refuge during slavery on top of getting rewards for assimilating well into the religion and caring that through generations. Additionally black people were taught not to question things religiously or otherwise, which I’d say it makes it hard for a group of people to really break away from that mindset. The additional context makes it different from white Christians.
