Todays christianity isn't really about Jesus, its about what a bunch of skeered irrelevant white people want it to be about an angry God, a weapon. They just lash out at anything which they don't agree..then blame the bible for their hatred.

I tend to think ignorance of or dislike of an others lifestyle is at the root of this issue with churches opposition. Both are problems with themselves not the LGBTQ community.

Christ's teaching is indeed counter to opposition put forth by today's followers.

Most who have negative opinions have never known or interacted with them.
