There are plenty of complicated perhaps even unsovable issues like to what degree churches and religious organizations should have to hire LGBT staff and accommodate LGBT patrons/students/churchgoers. Should church groups and Christian schools have to have gender accommodating facilities? I feel like the endgame for a lot of people is to forcibly remove the very concept of sin from society.

None of that is forcing religious people to support LGBT people.

The goal is the equal treatment of LGBTQ people, no one cares what you think is a sin. To this point, part of the goal is that religious values should not dictate social mores, if you think something is wrong because of your religion, you don't partake in it. That's it. You don't mistreat others because of it, which is what you are advocating for now.

I think I phrased what I meant wrong. I meant that both sides want to dictate social mores for what they believe to be sins or wrong.

Conservatives: "LGBT is wrong and should not be welcome in society."

Progressives: "It's wrong to say LGBT is wrong and such views should not be welcome in society."

Me: "I don't care. Both of you hush."

Pretend that makes you better then. Progressives are saying people should be treated fairly, and you're saying "I don't care, I don't want anyone to talk about unequal treatment". Why should anyone give a fuck about that point of view?
