Probably because of Christianity’s stance on homosexuality
But that is the thing about it: that stance is basically only practiced at large by the older Christians. You still have younger people who practice it, but they are FAR less numerous than they used to be, and most people in my age range (28) range from an agnostic view on the subject to not seeing anything wrong with being LGBT, just how you act if you are (IE: If you are slutting it up and sleeping around with 10 people at once? Bad, sinful. If you are in a loving, monogamous relationship where you devote yourself to your spouse and live your life as upstanding as possible? Good, righteous.)
Much like on the political front, there are a lot of people still stuck believing its the 1990's in terms of who believes what and they are using this woefully outdated view on things to influence their other beliefs. Then are confused when things dont meet those views.
I’m 41 and am a Christian. I believe it’s a sin but we shouldn’t attack people and should show love to everyone. Like I said it’s a sin but the Bible has a lot of sins. I don’t bring it up unless someone wants to have that conversation
But you have to be truthful. Granted the church was wrong to not show love to everyone but that doesn’t mean ignoring the Bible. But I have plenty of sin myself. I get what you are saying though. I see a lot of young people feel that way. That’s good on one hand but you shouldn’t ignore what the Bible says in the name of not offending. Just the way you go about it. Like I said I only discuss it if asked.
