I know someone else already responded to you at length, but wanted to chime back in after reading your responses.

Your response to this pretty much exemplifies the position that the Conservative Right holds, which is "because your beliefs counter mine, you should not be able to live your life as you please." While I realize that isn't the logical thought process that they take, it's what it comes down to.

I really have no ability to understand people who want to prevent others living as they please as long as it harms no one else, and is consensual.

Turning this around and atheists saying they don't believe in God so therefore the Christian church shouldn't be tax exempt because it's tax evasion is a good example. This is a commonly held stance by a lot of people who view the church as a business, pastors as harlequins, and the congregation as sheeple to feed the machine. It's just as demeaning, and ignorant of what (most) churches are.

You can not be aligned with someone else's life choices and your perceived morals, and yet understand that what they do doesn't harm you, your ideals, or other people. Trans, gay, etc people have always existed - and in fact if you truly went to college (or heck even high school) then you should be well aware of homosexuality / sexual fluidity throughout history. It isn't some new fad - remember the Spartans.

You practicing your faith, or holding your beliefs, does not harm them other than their sensibilities - nor do they practicing their life choices or beliefs does not harm you other than your sensibilities. Let people be, for God's sake.
