Christian Vent · 1:35am May 20th, 2018
This IS a vent so if you read it and bitch in the comments about this I will laugh humorlessly at it.
Okay, so, some of you know that I am a Christian, though what type I don’t even know. So ofc I’m in the brony Christian group
Half of them are awful and I should take my biromantic ass and leave. But I don’t. Idk why.
Anyway
Earlier today that group posted a thread claiming the show was pushing homosexuality. It’s not though? Most of that is the fandom, yes, but really?? This is a kids show? Why tf do you care what a character in a kids show identifies as sexually?
I commented my thoughts on the thread, and my thoughts got dislikes. My GOD. I just told you off for calling gay-apparent characters “just friends”
Honestly that’s a dumb reason for a dislike. But that’s not the worst of it.
Christianity is supposed to be about LOVE. What part of love is homophobia. Until you can tell me something other than the bullshit that is “We’re trying to save them from their evil ways!” I rest my case.
“Oh honey, I love you! So please turn from your evil ways and just be heterosexual, not any of that lgbtqia+ bullshit” “You’re not demisexual you’re just smart :)” “You’re not bi you’re just confused”
I’ve heard pretty much all of that, maybe not in those words but the same meaning.
I’m Christian. And LGBTQIA+. I want a girlfriend, even if I already have a boyfriend.
Kinda related to this but mostly not, but I’m scared to come out to anyone irl about it. My mom once overheard my sister and me talking about a bisexual character in a youtube series we watch and stated “I’m not sure I want you watching that” and I, labeled as a bi-curious demisexual at the time, flipped the fuck out about it in the middle of the night. If I’m actually bi, what will happen if my mom finds out? Will I get kicked out of the house? And yeah, I was scared. I’m scared writing this rn because at any moment my mom could walk in and see me writing this.
I digress. This was supposed to be about homophobic Christians. Which sadly is the majority. The minority that isn’t homophobic (my precious Arqui and I included <3) are thought to not exist. “You can’t be LGBTQIA+ and Christian!” Yes I can, and I am.
UGH. It makes me want to punch something.
Idk what else to say and this only took up a little more than a page in docs bcuz i don’t like to make walls of text :T
Yea i feel you and the other Christians that promote love feel you
Will promote this in the morning
Don't let the loud blind you to the many. We ARE the Majority, we just don't spend most of our time constantly banging on about it.
I'm speaking as someone who thought like you do, and met so many like me. We're not all Fundies.

oh thank God
Dude, like, my parents would prob send me to therapy if they found out my stuff. We can be therapy buddies.
Isn't Arq a misotheist?

I think he changed that label back to Christian? Idk u'd have to ask him

I'm straight because I do not understand how anyone could find the male body attractive... I also don't understand how anyone can enjoy The Last Of Us without vomiting. It doesn't make them bad people, or me right.
I agree with you sammy and I fully support homosexuality as well
Ya know what? For all those reasons, I completely agree with you! You made some valid and...highly vocal points here. Thank you for saying it! Honestly, some people (be they fans or not) just can't seem to see beyond that thin veil before their eyes on the truth of the matter. Sure Bon-Bon and Lyra were briefly seen giving each other a gift for Hearts and Hooves' Day. That could've easily been a mere "friend-gives-friend-gift" thing people tend to do on holidays! That doesn't mean the show is trying to push a homosexual aganda or whatever. As a pansexual girl myself, I know those fears of rejection or being shunned. I've learned to not care what others think especially if they throw religion into the mix.
So what if MLP has a few LGBT couples in it? It's a fucking fictional show. It has unique characters. They can love whoever they want. They need to get over it.
Jesus doesn't give a fuck about what sexuality you are, so these "Christians" should really stop giving two shits about who you are. Jesus loves you for you, not for the straight monogamous girl that society expects you to be. I love you for who you are, my precious biromantic polyamorous demisexual girl, and I'm always so proud of you for being who you are.
Jesus didn't judge, so these asshole "Christians" shouldn't be able to judge either.

Yeet.
you shouldn't care what other people tell you what you are or what you suppose to be if your mom can 't love you for who you are than their not your parents

I agree completely. I get it, being bi and Christian myself actually, I’m in a similar spot to you. Because of how Christian my family is, I’m scared to tell my family, meanwhile I can tell my friends with ease. It’s a weird thing.
It's things like this that are the reason I'm an atheist. Nowadays, religious beliefs are being used to push some anti-something agenda. Atheists don't use belief against other human beings.
