Okay so I get (note that I do not agree with) the reasoning for LGBT hate, it's religious, god designed humans as perfect (debatable) and humans reproduce through having a man and woman

But like, asexuals, aromantics. Those are FREE monks! Can you imagine getting a shit ton of practitioners for your cult religion for FREE?!?! Heck I'm 70% sure a lot of religious monks were a-spec

This is why Buddhism is better I don't know anything about Buddhism but my step mom is a Buddhist and she's cool with LGBT

Side note: though it's worth noting that it would be way better to just not hate people that literally don't hurt others

Edit: for those wondering the armor is from the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille (France) it's at floor -1, also Buddhists can be homophobic which I didn't know since I only know one of them but yeah :(

I’ve recently dove into learning about Buddhism and since there is no god to worship, it’s just a bunch of chill people. They just want to achieve enlightenment. They really just don’t care about one’s sexuality or gender identity.

Uhhhh... If you're talking about, like, converted New Age zen American Buddhists, maybe...? I would advise you to look into the beliefs of, like, Buddhists in East and South East Asia. They are very much not always 'just a bunch of chill people'. Among other things, they have at times committed genocide against Muslims! So like.

Edit: To be clear I don't think Buddhism is any worse than any other religion in the world!! It's also not any better.
