[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a problem for us. Many Republicans in our church. The only liberal ones we've found are forever harping on LGBT issues, which I think is partly why so many people have abandoned the Democrats. I support LGBT but it's not my primary interest.

I agree and I'm really liberal.  The transgender focus drives me particularly crazy.  This is a tiny percentage of people.  And I think it's pretty understandable why a lot of people, most of whom hadn't even heard of transgenderism until like a couple years ago, are hostile to accommodating them.  The righteousness over the issue is bewildering to me.  A typical person in the middle of the country predictable is either skeptical or indifferent.  I don't understand any the Democrats got on a high horse about it (I'm a Democrat) and why some churches do the same.[/quote]

So glad to hear I'm not the only one. I think this one issue probably turned enough voters to put Trump in office. The NYTimes has been relentless in promoting transgender equality. I'm so sick of it that I'm switching my subscription to the Washington Post. I have a transgender in law and I'm fine with him, but the number of people claiming to be trans has gone through the roof in two years. I'm not in favor of treating prepubescent children with powerful hormones to prevent secondary sexual characteristics. The science just isn't there.

Yes, kindred spirit!  Loretta Lynch's speech about it was so weird -- way to shoot ourselves in the foot, liberals, and provide some great video fodder for Fox News to say: look what the crazy liberals are up to now.  By the same token, we overplayed our hand on marriage equality.  We won in the Supreme Court.  That should have been enough.  A LOT of middle-of-the-road people were insulted by Obama then proceding to light up the White House with the rainbow flag.  What was the point of doing that?  Again, great visual produced for conservatives to point to and rile people up.  Churches should take note.  It's important to address political issues delicately or you risk driving people away (and toward the right).[/quote]
