Lol why live in NYC if you’re a religious bigot of any kind? This is one of the most diverse places you can live, and in terms of LGBT rights, it’s the cradle of the modern movement.

lol incredible.

being the most diverse place in the world means religious diversity as well.

is there not a large muslim population is NYC? what do you think they would think of this?

If your religion advocates for hating others on the basis of an immutable trait like sexuality, your religion is not worthy of respect and should be kept out of public policy at all costs, and completely ignored by all public institutions.

You’re free to move to a theocracy if gays trigger you.

Search up ‘hijra’, widely (and officially in India and Pakistan) considered a third gender in many SEA countries with large muslim populations

Hijra people are ostracized and abused in countries where they are present in significant numbers, unfortunately. Essentially entirely excluded from any social roles or education beyond their ceremonial functions, and often denied access to healthcare too.

lol preach diversity and tolerance but exclude all those people who practice religious beliefs that you don't agree with

Lol you should laugh while saying such ridiculous things!

You: “You should support religious even though religion does not support you.”

Me: 🤣

If religion supported tolerance and diversity, I’d think it was a great addition to humanity. But it doesn’t. 🤷🏼‍♂️

yes it's the Muslims who don't get piss drunk, don't gamble away their money, value their parents, value family, don't eat animals who are tortured who are "destroying humanity"

It’s the Muslim leaders that use slave labor, murder innocent gay people, destroy non-Muslim culture heritage, deny women fundamental rights like education and free movement, and partake in illegal bigamy with children who are “destroying humanity.”

There are a lot of religions that have negative aspects to them. If you want to talk about that specific religion, tell me: how are women treated in that faith? Are they treated equal to men? Is treating women as “less” building a brighter future for humanity?

lol women are treated with respect. children value their mothers more than your typical child does here.

they just don’t pretend that women and men are the same because they aren’t. they have different but equally important roles in society.

Right and if women don’t cover everything but their eyes, men shouldn’t be expected to control their sexual urges. Remind me how old is the age of consent to get married?

In the world I live in men and women both do the same things in society; everyone works and shares responsibilities inside the home. “Separate, but equal” for women is some misogynistic bullshit.

I mean lots or progressive policies have been won in New York by churches but go off

ETA: affordable housing, police reform, protections for immigrants, school improvements and reductions in crime just to name a few.

A lot of them don't live here. They come here to big cities to harass people. The amount of openly hateful people that live here is not 0 but it's definitely pretty small compared to the 8 million people that live here

Diverse communities usually don't fit everyone's definition of being open-minded.

It is still a crime to be gay in more than seventy countries. It wouldn't be a surprise many flee those countries and hold on to the same beliefs even when they end up in a progressive Western country.
