I'm going to say the unpopular thing, but Islam strikes again.

Religion is a disease and we should eradicate it as such.

My heart goes out to those people.

I’ve never understood the fear and hatred directed towards the LGBTQ community. It’s strange to me that anyone cares what anyone else does with their genitals. How does such widespread hatred originate from a few vague interpretations of religious texts?

Its all about control and religion must be propagated at all costs. The best way to do that is to have lots of children. The world has changed, but religion has not evolved with it.
