Yep. There is a part of me that is always hesitant to mention so much as attending church because of those obnoxious vocal people, who are so painfully frequently white Christian Americans (though hopefully we have little else in common, and whatever brand of Christianity they're smoking isn't something we have in common either). So I mean, I totally understand why, but it's still frustrating.

I remember someone flaming me in this community many years ago for being a bigot when I mentioned it, in fact, because they apparently could not fathom that it was possible to be Christian and not only not hate LBGTQ+ people, but actually identify as queer. More than half the tenor section of my church's choir at the time (including myself) was queer in fact...

I once lost an online friend when she learned I was Christian. She just assumed I was anti-LBGT+, which I am most definitely not. It made me sad that so many awful people give my religion a bad name.

Yyyyep. It's really frustrating that even *I* sort of cringe nowadays when someone says they're a Christian because in my experience if they really want to let it be known they're a Christian... they're probably *that* type, as opposed to those of us who just want to live and let live (and dismantle systems of oppression and inequality that prevent others from doing so).

Though I get the impression OP is talking about anti-semitism, which is... a whole other can of disgusting worms. Less "I've met a lot of annoying bigoted people who claim to be of your religion", more "I listen to a lot of racist disinformation and superstitious crap and believe it". That's a pretty significant difference. :/

I'm not even religious myself, and I am LGBTQ, and I lost a friend (they unfollowed me directly after I made a post about it) for saying I don't think all religious people are bigots or that the concept of religion is bad in and of itself.
