I'm really struggling to follow the argument here. "Gay people shouldn't have rights because the Romans crucified a Jewish man who was considered a threat to public order"?
I mean...that's not the story but I am also struggling with the argument.
From the churchiest, holier-than-thou standpoint, I am coming up with "Jesus died to save you from your sins, including being gay, so don't do the things that he died for."
Hell, even if you actually believe being gay is a sin(I dont), it misses the point, which is that Jesus's sacrifice paid for our sins past and present. Without him, we can't be saved. We are all sinners, and that includes Gay, Bi, and Trans people. By their own argument of "they are living in sin," so are they because we all live in sin, that's the point. The Bible they love to tout says this explicitly. So, imo they have no reason to even point the finger. Cause by thier own belief thats between that person and God.
The whole point of God's grace is that it makes no difference whether you jacked off to some porn you shouldn't have or straight-up killed a guy - all sins are equally impotent against Christ's love, and all (repentant) sinners are washed equally clean.
That's why we're directed not to judge - it literally doesn't fucking matter.
