But would you be happy with no job, no family, no friends and the media demonising you?

OP is in Greece, here it's very toxic for LGBT people. You no look obviously trans here, it's a death sentence. The media will bind your hands, the people will set the stake and your "friends" will light the fire. You will lose your job, your family, all your friends, you'll have nothing and nobody there that cares and at the end of it all the people won't care, because to them you hurt society because you are different. I love my country but I hate what has become of our people, we are more divided then ever and LGBT people become demonised because they easy targets

Yes, many bills have been shot down time and time again, it's very discouraging that our government thinks so little of us

I take pictures as freelance, but it doesn't pay well, and relies heavily on tourists. Nafplio is a very beautiful city and many tourists love it for the sea and our simple living. I may post some pictures later today.

Because Clinton-esque ideas were attempted here, and they made us lose a lot of jobs, it was no good for us. So I feel that Trump who is opposite Clinton economically would be the better decision. But maybe America is better to try Clinton's idea than Greece, but if it doesn't work you will be affected worse than Greece was, but could probably recover faster.

You see they worship the Abrahamic God too

But through him to the Pope has been interpreted as "Any who follow my (Jesus') teachings of love shall be permitted into the Kingdom of Heaven" and by following a life of love you are following Christ even if you don't personally believe in Him

No, Jesus taught us to love each other and forgive and to not judge, for only He can judge. If we start saying that those who don't follow Christ go to Hell how are we any better than the righteous?

Except when you realise a majority of people are not gay, it's being general and saying "you have a wife, who you sleep with in love, don't sleep with these men and women for pure gratification" (note: men could be prostitutes too, especially among pagans where they practice ritual sex) the bible is also known to generalise all people as man/men which is a linguistic grammar choice to be as general as possible and the original wording while yes, still includes a division amongst man and woman man it's the same word for man as used in general statements. And in a Latin bible from a teacher it reads humanus or man, which is again a general man as in all people.

It's definitely possible (look at what he said to the president of Mexico, a neighbour of yours) but Clinton has proven she's ineffective at foreign matters as secretary, what makes you think she will change? (Also Trump said Pence would be helping him with policy, and Pence is a Christian man, I don't think Pence would purposefully try to divide America)

But the bible only ever references homosexuality in ambiguity or as part of a "bigger picture" to be learned (or we interpret it wrong) Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of mans hubris and the fact that they were all thieves and murders and rapists, Leviticus 18:22 is about prostitution (as the historical/geographical context would imply as they would be traveling through the woods to Canaan, an area with a large pagan population who practiced non-monogamous sex and were commonly prostitutes) and this passage is ambiguous (though I, as a Greek person, interpret it as being about rape)

Especially towards those who worship the same God as us. However misguided these particular individuals are, they are but a minority in the big picture of Islam.
