1. La Religión como Justificación para la Homofobia.
Muchos comentarios señalan que la religión, y en particular el cristianismo, es utilizada como una fachada o pretexto para justificar creencias y comportamientos homofóbicos, racistas y misóginos. Se percibe como un arma para promover el odio en lugar de los valores de amor que predica.
- It's all over twitter unfortunately. People who use christianity as a front for homophobia, transphobia, enbyphobia and racism.
- Religion provides a person with the perfect pretext to embrace sexism, racism, and homophobia. So much for “love each other, as i have loved you.”.
- These people weild their faith like weapon to justify their misogyny, homophobia, and bigotry.
- People using religion to justify their homophobia are just homophobic pussies hiding behind religion.
2. El Rechazo de la Homofobia desde la Fe Cristiana.
En contraposición, numerosos cristianos afirman que la homofobia es incompatible con los valores fundamentales de su fe. Sostienen que usar a Dios para justificar el odio es una traición a las enseñanzas de Jesús sobre el amor y la aceptación, y consideran la homofobia un pecado en sí misma.
- I'm christian. Homophobia isn't christian values. It's not right to go around and hate on people just because they have a sex change or love the same sex. Stop using my god to justify hatred and slander, violent acts and harassment to human beings.
- Also, homophobia has no place in my christian faith. Painting all christians with that broad a brush is no better than what many christians do to non-christians.
- Homophobia is a sin, like lying, stealing and murder. One cannot be a homophobe and a christian; they are two incompatible states of being.
- As a christian minister, let me preach the gospel: those in the lgbtq community are created in the image of god, and, as jesus taught, the greatest commandment is to love god and neighbors as we welcome immigrants and strangers. Homophobia is a false gospel of hate, exclusion, and judgment.
3. La Retórica de "Amar al Pecador, Odiar el Pecado".
La frase "ama al pecador, odia el pecado" es frecuentemente criticada por ser vista como una forma encubierta y ofensiva de homofobia. Los usuarios argumentan que esta lógica no se siente como amor, sino como una justificación para mantener actitudes discriminatorias mientras se aparenta compasión.
- Homophobia wrapped in christian love (love the sinner, hate the sin talk) is still homophobia.
- This reminds me of the twisted logic, if i can use that word, that the catholic church uses. When it talks about homosexuality. It says something like, hate the crime but love the person. In my view. That's almost more offensive than outright homophobia.
- It’s as befuddling as the whole “love the sinner, hate the sin” shtick that people use to justify actively supporting measures and politicians who want to codify homophobia and transphobia.
- Love the sinner, hate the sin?? what?? it doesn't feel like love. You know why? it’s not! it’s homophobia disguised as love. Is it from the bible or any religious text? nope. We set the record straight - “love the sinner, hate the sin” is total bullsh*t!
4. Interpretación y Malas Traducciones de la Biblia.
Una corriente de opinión sostiene que la homofobia en las iglesias no tiene una base bíblica sólida, sino que se origina en malas traducciones deliberadas y en la selección interesada de versículos. Se argumenta que la postura anti-LGBTQ+ es una construcción humana para ejercer control, no un mandato divino.
- If christians truly cared about biblical accuracy, they would admit their anti-lgbtq beliefs are based on a deliberate mistranslation. The 1946 rsv translation was a political act, not divine truth. Homophobia in churches isn’t about god—it’s about control.
- My purpose here isn’t to “disprove” christian homophobia; it’s unquestionable that much of the christian establishment has been unflinching in its anti-lgbt doctrine for centuries. My purpose is only to say that that homophobia is theirs to own. The scripture they cite doesn’t actually support it.).
- This reminds me of how conservative christians go though hoops to argue for things the bible never promoted. Like homophobia is not even in the bible. Thats a gross perversion of the anti-pedophilia thats actually in it.
- The stupidest part about this argument is that the exact passage they use to justify their homophobia speaks about pedophilia hmm, i wonder why they would do such a thing.
5. El Impacto de la Homofobia Institucional.
Se critica duramente a las instituciones religiosas, como la Iglesia Católica y las corrientes evangélicas fundamentalistas, por ser las principales fuerzas impulsoras de la homofobia. Estas doctrinas causan un daño profundo, generando autodesprecio y consecuencias devastadoras para la salud mental de las personas LGBTQ+ criadas en esos entornos.
- Right wing christofascism is the main force for homophobia in the us. It's cruel to tell people oppressed by christians that they're not allowed to name their oppressors.
- The only reasonable response to homophobic beliefs is outright rejection. The church's insistence that homophobia be treated with respect, that bigots be met in the middle, and queer children taught to respect the unrespectable is gaslighting nonsense.
- My religion taught me to hate myself. Internalised religious homophobia creates devastating mental health consequences. Many we support describe years of self-hatred fuelled by religious teachings that labeled their core identity as sinful or unnatural.
- I grew up in a church filled with hateful, far-right, homophobic ideologies, which i despised. I hated the homophobia i encountered as a child and developed a strong aversion to churches that judge or condemn gay people. This is why i no longer attend church— it's all brainwashing.
