I think I've come to the conclusion that a significant amount of people that are against LGBTQ+ are just pissed off that they can't come out because they'll be ostracized by their community or family. Either that or they have religion so far up their ass that they think that if they do this to all LGBTQ+ it somehow makes up for their impure thoughts. And since they can't have it, nobody can. Or it doesn't even exist otherwise they'd be "evil."

Religion is a hell of a psychosis for sure. Especially these days when things like Christianity are most visibly wielded by one of many many Antichrists. To be clear I actually don't have a problem with real Christians. They're just a minority in their religion unfortunately. But it's crazy the psychological torture/damage that can be done to people. Making them hate themselves over things they have no real control over. For fear of eternal damnation. And the way they ply that trauma and toxicity on others.
