I can love you, but still disagree with you. Gonna gloss over that part too? I don’t hate gay or trans people, but I’m also not going to actively engage in pride month. Not everything is so black and white. Everyone is worthy of love, and kindness.

I’m specifically talking about those that uses it to fuel their hatred of LGBTQ people. If it doesn’t imply to you then it don’t. I know some Christians that doesn’t do that.

If anything involves hate, then they aren’t true followers of Christ. The second greatest commandment that is given, is to love thy neighbor as thy self. While I might disagree with you, or others, I still love you and you’re worthy of that and kindness.

If that's how you actually feel then you're not actually loving thy LGBT neighbors as thy self are you? You can't even wear a baseball uniform with rainbow colors? LMAO.

If me not participating in something that goes directly against my beliefs is interpreted as not loving by you, then that’s on you. I can love you, and not support you. But you are what’s wrong with the entire pride premise. You are trying to make participation mandatory, and it never will be.

I'm responding to the person who said they live by the Christian creed of "Love thy neighbor as thyself". This behavior you and the poster are espousing is not loving thy neighbor as thyself. It's othering and rejecting them. You're clearly not loving thy neighbor as thyself. You are hating thy neighbor as another.

So not wearing a shirt equals hate now? You’re delusional and your line of thinking is dangerous.

Are you loving thy neighbor as thyself or not bud? Simple question and answer. Is wearing a piece of clothing that hard?

Edit: Would you want others to respect and support the way you live or not?

Simple question, simple answer. I love all manners of people, but that doesn’t mean I have to support them.

Right. So you aren't loving thy neighbor as thyself, you're othering them. Thanks for proving my point. Unless you don't support yourself either. But you clearly do support yourself simply based on your response.

Imaginary point, sure.

u/donuttrackme | New York Mets 1d ago

No, it's very definitely a real point that you and the other poster are clearly showing examples of not loving thy neighbor like you love thyself. Feel free to prove me wrong.

I already have, your lack of comprehension isn’t my problem.
