[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First off, I am an atheist. Admittedly, I have a cynical view of religion. Also, my vantage point is Bethesda.

I can't help but notice that pretty much every church I see has a flag, placard, or message out front targeting a single demographic: the LGBT community.  Not asians, not hispanics, not men, not women, not young, not old - LGBT.

Churches exist for one reason: to propagate themselves.  That requires money and customers. So, it must be that singularly advertising to LGBT is a smart business move.  Its just a surprising one, given the % of population and, I would think, I general dis-inclination toward religion.

So what is the deal?  Smart business move?  Meaningless signaling?  Something else?

I'm sorry, did you fail to  notice that Christianity has been deeply bigoted against homosexuality for centuries? And that hatred for homosexuality and transgender identity is widely promoted on society? And that homosexuality and transgender identity is a major trigger of parental abuse of children? So homosexual and transgender people are marginalized in society and expect to be hated and sometimes murdered for daring to exist in places they aren't explicitly invited to?
