This is very poorly written. It’s filled with irrelevant tropes (20 gay men on an island), manufactured outrage (107 genders, OMG), nonsensical declarations (the LGBT community need to calm down) and weird analogies (it’s wrong to assume that is someone is Islamic family they are a terrorist and it’s fine to assume that love not expressed between man and woman is immoral).

This last idea seems to be the gist of this jumbled and craven post. You seem to believe that your religion (religion in general?) gives you the authority to define morality for others, for me. That your religion gives you the authority to decide which affection is unnatural, immoral, bad for humanity. But then, you absolve yourself of accountability to your own words. As you said to a commenter; "I just simply expressed my feelings there is no hate."

So here are my feelings. The rights of all humans have always existed. Your rights were not *given* to you by anyone. Civil rights laws were written to recognize recognize rights, not to create them, not to give them. AND, those laws came about because the communities whose rights were routinely violated with impunity fought to have their existing, unalienable rights recognized. There was not some moment when the LGBTQ+ community were given rights. They have always had rights. The fact that those rights were routinely violated is what made it necessary to be explicit so that bigots bigots not continue to violate those existing and unalienable rights.

This craven, cowardly, bigoted religiosity that you are expressing is immoral.

The protocols of neighborliness are in contestation with the protocols of purity and the most important question we can ask ourselves is “Who is my neighbor?”
