This is a majority Muslim town in the United States that made flying the rainbow flag illegal.
I will never support religious zealots.
At no point has the qur’an ever, ever, ever been supportive of lgbt rights.
Edit:
I will also say I have sympathy for the entirety of the Middle East and the Arabic people regarding their political situation due to western meddling. Nobody deserves that bullshit.
It doesn’t change the fact that the Islamic faith is explicitly homophobic.
And the only time the Bible ever made mention of LGBT people is if you go all the way back to the Latin text where one of the people that Jesus healed was a soldier’s slave where the word used was a type of male slave the Romans usually kept for sex.
And as far as I know, the Torah makes no mention of LGBT people either, but Hebrew supposedly has pronouns specifically for FTM people that expressly recognizes them as men trapped in the bodies of women.
When all this stuff was written, LGBT people were simply a fact of life that nobody thought needed defending because the two genders bigotry and homophobia came later as a package deal with the spread of European Christianity (and the problems with Islamic culture are the direct result of the US spreading radical Muslim propaganda, as mentioned before - it was exported out of the Middle East). It’s not the religion itself that’s the problem, but the people who use it as a shield for their hatred. Bigots will be bigots, and religion is just an excuse that they can twist to justify their actions. India has been having trouble for years with Buddhist extremists who are just as bad as the worst of the crazies in the US, and Buddhism is probably the most peaceful religion in the world.
It’s like the 2nd Amendment and the US Constitution - old documents created in a different time with different problems being reinterpreted to justify modern hatred.

Islam /= Middle Easterners.
Fuck Islam.
