Seriously *help me* with this - space aliens, LGBTQ, and religion.

I’ve never really understood this.

So the explanation I’ve always heard was that admitting the existence of UFO’s or visitors would freak out the church crowd. I guess “God created everything” only means Earth. Maybe this excuse was just a way to avoid everyone losing their minds.

Now I see that LGBTQ and pronouns are an affront to people’s religion. From the looks of the teacher in Northern Virginia and others I’m going to venture a guess that they are Christians.
The “gay” is the line in Leviticus I’m pretty sure but what part does the pronoun thing violate?

Granted, I get that you can throw up “RELIGIOUS RIGHTS”* and everyone backs away slowly.

I will admit that I was very impressed with the Freedom to Assemble argument they came up with to protest seating restrictions in restaurants and church. I did NOT see that one coming.



*white Christians preferably with a good sensible haircut and family unit.
