    It is an interesting story, but I don’t think the Gay community is being helped by bibles quotes. Hateful people quote the bible to publicly justify their hate, but its not why they hate. The hate comes from within and will be justified in a million different ways.

    If you corrected all the bibles today, automagically, a new prophet will suddenly appear to reveal god’s wisdom to kill gays tomorrow and a new religion will be born.

      I have experience with this myself. In my country it was rare with black people when I grew up, and there was a lot of actual racism. I was also racist back then because I didnt like black people coming to my country. They were different and annoying. I didnt see any positives with it.

      But as more and more black people have arrived in the country, millions of them, they are everywhere. And almost nobody is racist anymore. Its normal for everyone who grows up now. Nobody thinks about it.

      So it will be the same with gay people. It will take time but eventually, the generations who grew up with many gay people around wont hate it at all, or think about it. It always happens with time.

        On Mobile, copy paste is not working, so paraphrasing:

        They are everywhere and almost nobody is racist anymore

        Take a cue from the US. The racists are still racists. They are just currently quietly pissed and likely working to be openly racist again.

        Fighting against hate requires constant vigilance.
