[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it's not a fair question because no mainstream Christian church forbids sacraments based on race, or forbids sacraments to adults based on age, or forbids attendance at services (vs. ordination) based on sex. So there is no need for a flag out front letting these groups know they are welcome to come in.

But many mainstream churches are [b]actively hostile to LGBT people[/b], to the point that you can assume a church is unwelcoming unless they say they do welcome LGBT people. That's the reason for flags. [/quote]

Objectively, this is because what used to be universally recognized by the church and its members as a sinful desire and behavior (LGB) is now celebrated by the same church as immutable characteristic. (Except for the fact that TQ+ falls into that same family of categories now and is fluid and easily changeable, which complicates the “born this way” rhetoric that shifted acceptance on the desire/behavior stance in the early 2000s.)
LGBTQ has become its own untouchable god. And the members of the community have successfully redefined a desire and behavior as an identity.
