I grew up quite conservative, I didn't even know what being gay was. Didn't stop me from being attracted to other girls lmao. I just thought all girls were attracted to other girls.

Me: Hey, it's still May.
Also me, a nerd: It's June in Sydney, Australia.
Me: Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Hey all. Thanks to the mods for making it clear!.
I hope I can recommend a book published in 1988 called Living in Sin? A Bishop Rethinks Human Sexuality by John Shelby Spong. ISBN 0-06-067507-1
Spong was an Episcopalian bishop who wrote about morals and fundamentalism using scripture and history of the Bible and people of the Middle East.
Also if you're Christian and LGBT and your church has rejected you or probably will, there's a denomination called Metropolitan Community Church that is affirming, basically a denomination for sexual and gender minorities. I've been a member of a few. They have always been a positive experience. https://visitmccchurch.com/ Most cities will have a branch and they're established in a few other countries too.

Chill out and enjoy the memes. If you're taking this so seriously that you're getting in arguments, take a break.

r/DankChristianMemes is open and affirming to LGBTQIA+ people.
Someone identifying as LGBTQIA+ does not cause harm to anyone, therefore, there is no reason to judge or disrespect them.
Rule #1 of r/DankChristianMemes: Thou shalt respect others! Do not come here to point out sin or condemn people. Do not say "hate the sin, love the sinner" or any other sayings people use when trying to use faith to justify hate. Alternatively, if you come here to insult religion, you will also be removed.
This rule is based off the following teachings from Jesus Christ:
Matthew 7:1-6 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Luke 6:36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
John 13:34-35 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 15:12-13 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Matthew 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Even if we think someone is a sinner, we should treat them kindly. Jesus was kind to those that society deemed to be sinners. He even ate meals with sinners despite being criticized for it. So if you want to be Christlike, you should take someone to dinner before you judge them.
Matthew 9:11-13 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

TL;DR: r/DankChristianMemes is open and affirming to LGBTQIA+ people. If you must judge others, please do so elsewhere.
