I had a neighbor come to my door wanting to read some bible verses. I was initially combative because I'm trans and have a pride flag in my window and was ready to be preached to about how I'm a sinner. I'm not religious but we actually had a really nice conversation about exactly this. I told them that I don't believe in Jesus but do believe in the message of the bible, being a loving and caring person to everybody, and how conservatives have completely twisted the meaning to attack people like me. They read me a couple verses supporting that and how conservatives go against everything the bible says. It really gave me hope and what I was expecting to ruin my day actually made it instead.

Honestly there's some lovely Christians out there who love queer people without question. It absolutely does not have to be the conservative way. My church has gay people and two trans ladies, and the one time I overheard one of them talking to a bunch of the guys about the local football team. Like it absolutely does not have to mean a thing.
