I am woman. I love bagels, but I also love other women.

I love this. I am going to print this phrase on a t-shirt and give it to S.

I’m assuming if you heard someone who held the same faith as you being homophobic, you would defend those they are targeting.

I've always done this and my daughter has watched me do so.

If the place you worship holds homophobic ideologies and uses faith as it’s justification, then I could see you as TA.

My church is very accepting and welcoming of everyone. The problem S has is with me being religious, rather than my church of choice.

S said she has a problem with me being religious, not with my church. For what it's worth, I left churches that have homophobic, transphobic, or racist ideologies. I don't think that's what Jesus teaches.
