Many of the lgbt activists are anti Christian although they have no issues against Islam dispute the fact that LGBT members many in Africa and Arab countries are being killed or tortured.
You dont see this LGBT stuff being promoted as heavy in Africa as it being pushed heavily in mostly white western countries.
Tiptoeing in to say there is nothing in the Bible that forbids interracial marriage. Many many interracial marriages are noted. The reason the Jews were commanded not to marry inter racially is that every culture had its own religion. The point was that Jews were to worship Jehovah only, and not the gods of other nations.

Unsocial hours? That has to be a joke, right? My first job was 8am to 8pm Monday through Thursday. 8 to 5 on Friday. 9 to 12 on Saturday. I had a 45 minute commute to and from work. I usually was early and left late. And I had work functions like going to soccer games and auto races (the company had ownership stakes in both) nearly every weekend. I did that for a little over three years.
I did not like that but it was what was required. I am quite certain if I used the phrase unsocial hours, I would have been called a pussy or a ****** and told to quit.
You seem to have this belief that getting rich just happens somehow through cosmic luck. The overwhelming majority of people who make a lot of money had a number of years going through hell before they started making good money.

I'm sure he does, most all leftists do.
It's because of privilege and racism and stacking the deck and keeping everybody else down that you made it.
That's unjust.
Strange how sticking a government gun in people's faces and robbing them is not unjust however.
Hard work and deferred gratification and long range planning is racist.

Nobody cares about people. But sure when I attended years ago an unemployment opportunity, I sat in a room at a employment company which offered railway training, everybody in that room was black, and male. Only one woman was there, she was black. I was a minority of may be five white men.
The black guy who was explaining the academic and practical course that would be on offer for those interested, explained early hours, dangerous work and so on. And he explained, cleaning was a woman's job, and that some people can't take early starts and so on. So I understand his point on the hours, so therefore unsocial hours can also and usually implies early hours, in the morning.
He shared some facts about this life being homeless, sleeping in a car, he said he had a family but his parents didn't want him in their home, not sure on how true it was, it sounded weird.
But this was in March 2012. I left that place, it was stupid that the advisor at the company would just send people off, and that was a woman, a Muslim woman, very ignorant about people, sort of arrogance of know it all. When somebody grows up in conservative mindset, they think all men are alike, as all women. I didn't trust her.
I don't know how far back you are going on the issue of unsocial hours.
Poverty is everywhere, and no not all wealthy people have had it tough. It is what we see, that shapes our thinking or what we read.

I'm a leftwing person sure, liberal. I believe in a welfare and free healthcare for society.
I can never be a libertarian, it is dangerous, and requires to be wealthy, and I mean a millionaire. Typically, male, white, and so on.
I am a male, and white.

I saw this coming years ago. I sat on the fence about LGBTQ for a long time. I wanted to understand how they came to be the way they are. I wanted to accept them as they are. I worked with drag shows on the road for a while. I had a lot of fun with them.
I see this group of people as like in a type of prison. Many of them are filled with a deep sadness. I think they are under spiritual attack. I think it is physically easier for them to give into it and that they don't have the spiritual tools to throw it off. I feel sorry for them. I have tried to help a few of them but it is a very difficult process and the person has to get past the fear which is the main barrier. I have had a lot of conversations about this with many gay people. The people who can see the firey door they would have to walk thru in order to conquer this demon become very afraid and resistant. They would need to have so much trust and faith and support that not many can cross it. I think it is very very sad.
I don't hate them. I don't wish to be a part of their lifestyle. As long as they are not pushing themselves on me I can leave them alone. I can be civil with them and be a good neighbor to them but, I don't party with them or go to their weddings.

Um, you do realize evolution is a thing only breeders contribute to, right?
You have plenty of faith in government. You'll find out what a mistake that is before you're done. You progs are hilarious. You choose to have faith in government because you have no faith in people, but government is people.
That gay man's mistake was having faith that religion could tell him what God thinks. Religion, like government, is often full of fail.
Having faith is not a bad thing. Having faith in human authority is. That man's mistake is your mistake. You'll find it out when the Crown decides doing that operation on you isn't cost effective.
The point I am making is, there have always been gay people. Pete Buttigieg, nice enough fellow. No issue.
I don't believe much in people or government, but they have theirs ups and downs. There is no black and white with people, but some aspects of people obviously haven't changed. Like violence, prejudices, and so on.
Wrong, there is no "gay gene":

I thought evolution was about survival of the fittest tell me how are they fittest? The fittest of any species can select the best mate for reproduction I don't think gays are able to do that. They might be able to save their sperm with the purpose of reproduction but this method will prove itself to be a disaster.
OK.
"While many Christians do not want to be forced to celebrate what they believe to be sin, they are not attacking or discriminating against members of that community."
They are, in fact, discriminating against gays if they refuse to sell them goods and services. Although the reason for the refusal may be a deeply held religious belief, the fact remains that it's still discrimination, just as if a Muslim were to refuse to give driving lessons to a woman. This isn't to say that the law should prohibit such discrimination (unless it's done by government employees; see below). But to claim that it isn't discrimination is simply absurd.
"This is why Christian businessmen, from bakers to florists to wedding planners, have been persecuted in recent years for refusing to service events — faux (same-sex) weddings. The irony is that these Christians weren’t trying to shut down these faux weddings"
There's nothing faux about same-sex weddings. I'm not talking about religious ceremonies, but about civil marriages that are equally real whether the participants are same-sex or opposite-sex. Opponents of same-sex civil marriages have never been able to demonstrate how they are harmed by the government's extending the benefits of civil marriage to gays, other than that it offends their religious sensibilities.
Moreover, some Christians were indeed trying to shut down same-sex marriages. Roy Moore, acting as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, instructed all of the probate judges in Alabama to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, even though the United States Supreme Court had ruled months earlier that such action was unconstitutional. Even after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled shortly thereafter that the Alabama judges must issue licenses to same-sex couples, Moore continued to instruct the judges not to do so. Then there was Kim Davis, the former county clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and defied a court order requiring that she do so. Of course, she could have resigned so that she wouldn't have had to do something she considered to be sinful, but she chose to continue to use her official position to try to shut down same-sex marriages.
"they [sinners] seek rationalizations, and don’t want anyone shattering that bubble of self-delusion. Of course, Christianity does that, spectacularly, calling sin “sin,” telling these people they’re wrong (in the true, absolute, unchanging sense), and that we’ll all be judged for our actions."
Which Christianity? Some Christians think music in a worship service is sinful (thankfully, Bach didn't). Others think dancing is sinful (Why don't Baptists make love standing up? People might think they're dancing.) Many things have been deemed sinful: drinking alcoholic beverages, making love using the wrong positions or techniques, failing to go to church, premarital sex, teaching evolution in the public schools, interracial dating, rock and roll, etc. The author's bigotry against gays is simply another example to be added to the list.
We have long had death and taxes as the two standards of inevitability. But there are those who believe that death is the preferable of the two. "At least," as one man said, "there's one advantage about death; it doesn't get worse every time Congress meets."
