    As a gay men, I am very anti Islam and I dont care what people think of me. Sure, im anti any religion, but Islam actively persecutes gay men and countries with a majority of Islam have death penalty on gay men. People coming to west Europe from Islamic countries are bringing their homophobic thinking and unfortunately there has been several attacks from Islamic people where members of the lgbt community have ended in the hospital with broken bones.

    No religion is good but Islam is a cancer for LGBT people

      The problem is where the mainstream lies. In Islam, the mainstream is fundamentalism. Of course, fundamentalism is a problem for Christianity and every other religion too, but right now that is not the mainstream of those sects. And that is why Islam gets criticized more heavily than other religions.

      Fundamentalism is cancerous wherever it lives.

        There are 1.9 BILLION Muslims globally.

        You think the vast majority of them are fundamentalists?

      Bruh the only reason Christians aren’t doing the same is so people like you give them the moral high ground ignoring the literal billions of deaths associated with Christianity. You fell for it, they make moves behind closed doors rather than screaming it from the rooftops but that doesn’t mean what they’re doing isn’t actually more heinous.

        It’s disengenuious to say Christianity isn’t changing to be more welcoming though, ay least in some places. Look at the Church if England and their change of opinion on things over the years.

          It’s disingenuous to claim that the minority of Christianity represents the whole. That aside it’s a religion based just as much on hate is Islam, Islamics are just out in the open about it.

            Lets be real, all religions have caused a lot of suffering and death. At least nowadays there are gay priests/gay churches/ churches that have the rainbow flag, while there almost none islam temples that would do that. The only one I know is one in Berlin that has been constantly being damaged by other islamics and it has to be protected by the police. Almost all christian coutries had at least decriminalizazed homosexuality and a lot of them have made it legal. There are no islamic countries that had legalized same sex marriage, and most of them penalize homosexuality with death/life imprisonment, etc

            After centuries of Muslim wars of expansion, the Crusades were organized by western European Christians to stop the expansion of Muslim states. Christianity has evolved to a point where today it acts as an ethic compass in a secular system, unlike Islam, where it wants to dictate everything in life.

              You mean the same place that saw Christians take the city and kill every man woman and child, torturing some and raping as they went. Also you can’t take back land that was never yours. But sure, ignore the written accounts that the "holy land"was taken solely to profit from trade that moved through it.
