Hey LGBTQIA Pandas, If You’re Religious, Which Religion Do You Practice? (Closed)
I'm particularly interested in folks who follow the religions that are based on Abraham: Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. And I'm really interested in hearing from Roman Catholics.

I'm starting to think I might be asexual (not aromantic though) and I'm a Christian.
Small world, I'm ace and Christian! I also have yet to come out to my family, but my Christian friends are accepting so far. Best of luck to you <3
I was Christian for most of my life, I'm now non-religious, and want to tell you that Christianity is one of the least accepting religions of LGBTQ+ people from what I know. My mum and dad are convinced that God said being LGBTQ+ is wrong, and so is ever other Christian I've met. They believe the Bible has not been edited at all, and it's all true, even though many people have put in their thoughts. I don't believe that God Himself would spread hate against people he created. I advise not to listen to people like this, if you follow this religion or are thinking of doing so.
Thank you! God said so many times that he loves all of his children, so when people say he'll banish them to hell, they're wrong. Also, in the original translation of the bible he actually says no grown men should be sleeping with boys. That's him saying pedophilia is bad, not homosexuality
Yes, my dad tried to use that 'no man shall lay with a man' quote against me, but I know what it's really about, so it doesn't work. I'm glad there's more people who aren't homophobic here. :)
Load More Replies... Does this also correlate to Catholicism? I’m only 12 and bi. In the closet. Really scared now.
Most Christians I know are accepting of LGBTQ+. In my denomination we even have openly gay ministers. You are right about some people insisting the WHOLE bible has to be taken literally, but most of the Christians I know understand the most important part is what Jesus said, and he said to love everyone.
I never said all Christians were homophobic. I said 'from what I know'. All Christians I've met are homophobic. It may be different for you, and that's fine. I've heard of non-homophobic ones, but haven't met any. It's nice to know some aren't, though. :)

Some people at my synagogue are rude but I bush it off. God made everyone in their eye, so I believe God loves everyone regardless of gender race background ECT.
Good on you for being open about this it takes courage which you definitely have (also your rabbi seems cool)
Jedi. SOOOO Jedi.
