Religion and LGBTQ Sexualities: Critical Essay Example

For many centuries, Christianity has had a negative attitude toward sexuality. It has never accepted the LGBTQ+ community because of their sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition, most Christians think that women should be submissive to men only and men should only be with women. To this day, some Christians still do not accept LGBTQ+ people, but some do accept them because it should not matter what someone's gender identity and sexual orientation are. People should start to accept, love, and respect others; we are all the same at the end of the day. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Etc... (LGBTQ+) people often get discriminated against because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.

Sometimes when someone part of the LGBTQ+ community wants to get a job, they do not get hired because people only see their sexual orientation or gender identity instead of what they are capable of doing at work. Most people are Christians, and even at work, there are Christians, which makes people from the LGBTQ+ community not get hired because when they first enter the store, they call them: demons, evil, abomination, Etc. They tell them that they will go to hell because they are not following God's will. Christians believe they should follow the 'rules' in the bible; however, they do not see they sin by judging others and saying bad things about them. Christians are supposed to be benevolent to their 'neighbors,' and the only one that needs to have the right to judge is God.
