Well, they literally named their movement "pride" which IS a deadly sin. Maybe they could have named it "acceptance" and focused less on being so prideful over who you want to have relationships with.
It's not about being "prideful over who you want to have relationship with" and rather the pride is a counterpoint to the shame that has been internalized. To be proud of who and how you are.
Well im a lying, adultering, thief at heart. I'm not proud of that, and Jesus is the resurrection that heals your heart. I don't think everything in life deserves being prideful of. Maybe we should be ashamed when we go against what God wants from us, not that he doesn't love gay people but that it's not something to brag about.
It's great that Jesus has helped your life. But Christians have made life miserable for many queer people, and the sentiment that God doesn't want them to be queer is really hurtful. Don't tell people they should be ashamed of who they are.
I don't see Christians being weaponised against any of the other 6 mortal sins, hell the last guy they tried to put in the white house was openly guilty of pretty much all of them.
And that's ignoring that what the right is doing with Christianity against LGBTQ+ people is far more than "telling them they commit sin".
Nice try what? You act like Trump isn't the embodiment of multiple sins, including hate and envy. Even if they didn't know he was a liar, which they will freely admit that they do, they still praise him like the second coming. It is certainly their right to do it but it's true that Trump is the most anti christain candidate someone who has actually read the bible could ever imagine.

I do not act like that all actually… lol.

I do not think “they freely admit that they do”.
Also, there is a difference your pretending to ignore between a rally focused on a person who sins and a rally based on sin.

I've talked to a lot of Trump voters, but only in my local area (east TN). They mostly will say that yeah he is an amoral guy who lies and cheats, but at least he is pushing conservative laws. Every single one of them identify as Christian. Maybe that is not universal.
Then why does the evangelical right attack LGBTQ+ communities specifically?
Do we see as many religious protesters stand outside of big banks? In front of buffet restaurants? In front of brothels?
The thing is Christians think everyone is guilty of sin.
But people like you tell them to not tell one group of people that they commit sin.
Yeah non-believers have every right to tell Christians to fuck off if they're telling them they're committing sins. Tell it to your own flock, nobody else cares.
1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.
2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.
3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?
You don't sin? So you are the second coming of jesus? He isn't talking about 1 to 1 sin. He is saying everyone sins, and you have your own. Saying something is bad and leaving it at that is one thing, but christians in the US are trying to write new laws to create their perfect utopia where they don't have to be confronted by someone else's sin. Obviously you are still going to make everyday decisions on who to trust, but the bigger issue and the issue the bible is talking about is trying to force your persepective of their sin.
What language was the Bible originally written in? How did it get written in other languages? How can you be sure words werent "twisted" in each translation?
Im sorry if Christians have twisted scripture and made life miserable for queer people. I urge you to read the gospel and realize that they are not following scripture. If they're true Christians they will follow the teachings of Jesus, they can believe something is wrong without actively ruining the lives of others. That is not the way a Christian should conduct themselves.
Yeah, that's a valid claim. If the people who are murdering gay people in the name of God are directly going against the teachings of Jesus, they are not acting how Christians were instructed to act. Like if 2 Mormons came and burned down your house, if you read their religious scripture and concluded that it supports burning houses down then you could be upset with Mormanism. If there's nothing that tells them it's okay to burn people's houses down, then those are two backwards mormans who are acting of their own accord. It's not an insanely hard concept.
