'Homophobia' on the rise

[Luke]

This is ridiculous. Check out what they're saying:

'...The alleged incident took place just weeks after reports that homophobia is on the rise among young people.
Galop’s Hate Crime Report 2019 found that 18- to 24-year-olds are increasingly polarised on LGBT+ rights, with one in four believing that being LBGT+ is “immoral or against their beliefs”.
This is a higher proportion than any other age group.
The report found that young people were also the most likely age group to think that LGBT+ people are a “danger” to others, but are also the most likely to believe queer and trans people “should be able to live as they wish”.
Researchers said that “the views expressed by young people in this study gives rise for serious concern”.
“They were often more negative toward LGBT+ people than their older counterparts,” the report read.
“This perhaps indicates that the position of LGBT+ people in society is under threat in future generations.
“More research into the views and opinions of young people and the reasons for these findings is needed, so that hate crime policy and practice can rise to meet these challenges.'

Apparently homosexuality and transgenderism being against your beliefs is 'homophobic'. When is this madness going to end? Can we not object to this incessant immorality? Who isn't ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ?

Sodomites are apparently going to be 'under threat' because of these opinions. What?

It is now a 'serious concern' that people are quite rightly waking up to this degenerate nonsense being pushed on us daily, which shows how utterly evil we have become as a human race. I tell you, they'll be coming for the Church next, you mark my words.

The sodomites have brought it upon themselves in my view.
Generally and collectively speaking, I have no sympathy for them as a group. They have pursued an agenda of pushing their perversion down our throats for many years now. If they reap the whirlwind it is no more than they deserve.

There might be something to this. The youth I've spoken with are much less accepting of gays than my generation. 20 years ago you had people all over spectrum of opinions. But now everything is so polarized, like the article says. "You're either with us or against us." No other options are allowed. So if you're not 100% on the LGBTQ bandwagon, then you're 100% against.
Coercion always backfires. I've had many conversations with my teens' friends about this and they're so annoyed and threatened by being forced to think a certain way that it's making them distrustful of any queer people.

Wait until it's:

"if you don't signal your pro-LGBT virtue on a regular basis, then you are homophobic"

Then:

"if you don't try it out at least once, you are homophobic"

Oh wait, we've already seen those too. They just aren't accepted as mainstream ultimatums.

i think my generation the millenials are actually pretty accepting of them, and the ones helping push this agenda. but I can totally see why people would get annoyed with people pushing beliefs down people's throats.
I already see a major fight between gays or a gay couple that wants to be married in the temple and goes to court for it, making major headlines, they will target the temple next. There will be a lot of "the church of jesus christ is homophobic," etc even MORE so after this whole thing will come. I think it could even be taken to supreme court. I don't know, I just know something stupid like this is going to happen. and people are probably going to jail too because of it.
believing that being gay is wrong, is not a hate crime. lol

Let's not allow homophobia. Let's not allow transphobia. And most of all, let's not allow anyone to develop a phobia toward themselves for who they really are. And yet even more, let's not tell someone they are something they are not, because that is encouraging people to not accept themselves all the way for who they are. If we are all truly honest and nondiscriminatory, then why would it matter which you were born as, a male or a female? You couldn't want anything but what you are unless you had something to not like about it. And if you have something about yourself that you don't like, then let's help you accept and love yourself by acknowledging you are wonderful the way you are, the way your body looks, and whether or not fulfill some sort of stereotype of what you think you should be.

Thuggery of a word, and mangling it’s meaning, surely is !
Sodomite fits, own it, and query, why the Q in LGBTQ ?
Whose running this circular circus of the century ?

Queer , but not homosexual.
Calling a spade a rose, doesn’t make it so.

Political talk for, "We haven't brainwashed them well enough, we still have work to do."

You forgot to add the important part:

"And by wording it this way, we will easily obtain government funding to do so".

"Homophobia" is such a strange word.

I'm not afraid of my house.

I know of one millenial who had consistent encounters with various people of the LGBTQ crowd that were downright predatory. On more then one occasion. He now has a very negative view of them and avoids them whenever he can.

I would love to see a quality study done regarding the opinions (specifically the opinions regarding LGBT morality) of the following group:

Millennials who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who also attend church at least twice a month.

"An Oregon court that granted the first individual legal recognition for his “non-binary” sex designation has rescinded the status and restored the sex on his birth certificate to “male.”

In a dramatic repudiation of the transgenderism movement and the industry that supports it, the request for the change came from James Shupe, an icon of transgender activism, who denounced the movement and the idea that one can change one’s sex as a fraud.

“I’m saying my experience should very much serve as a cautionary tale, to everyone, from males like me with sexual paraphilias and false beliefs about being women, to the lawyers, doctors, judges, therapists, and lawmakers that allowed this whole sordid tale to happen,” Shupe told The Epoch Times via email.

Paraphilias, according to WebMD, are “abnormal sexual behaviors or impulses characterized by intense sexual fantasies and urges that keep coming back.”

News of Shupe’s restored male sex status broke in a Dec. 31 interview with Tyler O’Neil of PJMedia.

“The charade of not being male, the legal fiction, it’s over,” Shupe said.

“The lies behind my fictitious sex changes, something I shamefully participated in, first to female, and then to non-binary, have been forever exposed. A truthful accounting of events has replaced the deceit that allowed me to become America’s first legally non-binary person.

“The legal record has now been corrected and LGBT advocates are no longer able to use my historic non-binary court order to advance their toxic agenda.

“I am and have always been male. That is my biological truth, the only thing capable of grounding me to reality.”

Born in the nation’s capital in 1963, Shupe, who served in the U.S. Army from 1982 to 2000, has been married to his wife, Sandy, for three decades. He began identifying as a transgender woman in 2013 after experiencing harassment in the military because others thought of him as homosexual. He subjected himself to hormone treatment that had unpleasant, dangerous side effects, and legally changed his first name to Jamie and his sex to female. He didn’t undergo sex-reassignment surgery.

A few years later, he changed his legal sex again.

On June 10, 2016, Multnomah County, Oregon, Circuit Court Judge Amy Holmes Hehn signed an order declaring that Shupe’s sex “is hereby changed from female to non-binary.”

Shupe was celebrated by the LGBT movement and hailed as a courageous trailblazer by the mainstream media, but changing his legal sex and trying to live as a non-binary person didn’t solve his problems, he said.

“The gender transitions were supposed to fix my mental health problems, but I kept getting worse instead. The high-powered marijuana made me psychotic. I started hearing booming noises and having visions of being some Indian woman,” he told PJMedia. “I started believing I was some kind of chosen one who was picked to restore the third gender to North America, that’s what I thought the visions were telling me.”

Shupe said he latched onto the transgender identity as he tried to deal with psychological problems that should have been dealt with more conventionally.

“I ended up in the psych ward three times because of hormones. I had blood clots in my eyes because my estrogen levels were 2,585 instead of 200, low bone density, problems controlling my bladder, and emotional instability,” he said.

“Blood tests indicated I was dropping into kidney disease territory … for about 18 months, I had chronic dermatology issues and skin reactions to estrogen patches, I passed out on the kitchen floor from Spironolactone [a diruretic drug].”

Shupe decided to legally become male again.

Gay-rights public interest law firm Lambda Legal dropped him as a client, and Shupe changed his political perspective. Although he had supported transgender individuals serving in the armed forces, he came to embrace President Donald Trump’s policy that service members live according to their sex at birth.

Multnomah County, Oregon, Circuit Court Judge Patricia L. McGuire signed a “General Judgment Regarding Change of Name and Sex” on Dec. 19, 2019, changing his sex to male and his name to James Clifford Shupe.

“Despite six years of hormonal treatments, my sex was immutable, and I remained the same biological male I was at the time of my birth. In hindsight, my sex change to non-binary was a psychologically harmful legal fiction, and I desire to reclaim my male birth sex,” Shupe told PJMedia."
