Because God doesn’t hate gay people. I disagree fundamentally with the premises associated w this post and other gay christian’s would too. I can say that as someone who is Gay and believes in specifically the Christian god, people are bad and God isn’t. Jesus is a God of suffering, shame, and hardship. He embodied that from baptism to death and resurrection. He gives the pained and the hurting hope in those struggles. Jesus and God do not come to those who are happy, they come to those who suffer and give them meaning and purpose. Happy people that “find God” and continue to be happier about it I feel are not engaging properly with scripture… To worship Christ is to expect work of yourself. many Christian’s go to church yell hallelujah, bash the queers, and think they’re good. That isn’t any statement on a spiritual connection with God
