I’m a gay person who has been exposed first-hand to the ugly side of Christianity, so I am speaking from that knowing and experience. I am not a Christian.
The salvation army is a big church and big churches don’t like LGBT.
They said big churches don’t like LGBT. There are big churches that like LGBT, even if most big churches don’t. There is nuance here and I responded to that commenter’s specific words.
I only found out a few years ago how accepting some churches are, specifically meeting people who went to the Episcopal Church. I just felt it relevant to point that out.
It’s untrue as a generalization.

the statement “all big churches are homophobic” would be a generalisation. “most big churches are homophobic” would not be.

Salvation army has put trans people out on the street to freeze to death. Churches don’t need advocates.
Did I advocate for the Salvation Army or churches that engage in that sort of behavior? No.
I’m saying there are allies present in Christianity. If you have a problem with that, so be it.
