Sometimes this app feels slightly unwelcoming towards lgbt. Not in the sense where I don’t feel like I can say anything, but in the sense where I feel like people forget we exist on here. I understand that people struggle with religious ocd, but sometimes i feel like people forget that LGBT people struggle with ocd too, and it does not help when you see a bunch of people talking about going to hell for being gay on this app. Again, I understand having religious OCD and these fears and I’m not trying to censor anyone, but it just makes me feel like there’s no place for me sometimes on here, and it’s really hurtful to see these type of things.

Thank you. ❤️?

Thank you! This response was truly heart warming!

Yeah I definitely get that! Not the point of my post at all! So basically for example (this is just one example I’ve seen it multiple times) but a guy posted about being scared of going to hell for being gay (which I was literally FINE with, not triggering to me one bit) but in the comment section multiple people were talking about how being gay is in fact a sin, and that it’s unacceptable in gods eyes. Again, the point of my post has nothing to do with people who are healing, but rather the people who don’t really consider others on this app who don’t hold the same beliefs as them. Hope hat clears it up

That’s really nice of you. I appreciate it! It’s not so much that it’s even triggering, but it just is bothersome that people don’t consider other demographics when making hateful statements. Thank you again

Thank you so much!!!

I’ve explained it twice :) not sure where the confusion lies! Again, does not bother me one bit that people have these fears or beliefs but the people in the comment sections of these posts who continually say being gay is a sin, yes, it’s a problem for people who are gay.

@kg22! i am muslim and in our religion being homosexual is a sin. as a believer i cant just turn a blind eye to what is forbidden, i cant just twist holy words ...im sorry if this ever offends you

@kamilia Right.... so yes.... this is further proving my point.

@kg22! some of us are religious here, you too should be understanding dear...

@kamilia Which is fine :) I believe in god too. all I’m saying is maybe don’t tell believe they’re going to hell based on your personal beliefs on a public forum app that is for healing. That’s like me telling you you’re going to hell for being Muslim because it doesn’t align with my personal beliefs. (Which I don’t believe, but it’s an example) Beliefs aren’t fact so we really shouldn’t treat them that way on this app because like you said this app is for healing, not certain demographics. This really is not the place for these types of comments. So no, people telling me I’m going to hell isnt necessary, and maybe you should learn to turn a blind eye when people aren’t asking you for your personal opinion on their sexuality (because again, you felt the need to make the comment about YOUR belief of homosexuality being a sin when I did not ask at all). I just think posting things like this based on personal beliefs makes no sense, especially when nobody asked.

@kamilia Okay I’m religious and bisexual. I FIRMLY believe that God made me bisexual for a reason. Different theologies exist so yeah I understand what op means when it feels unwelcoming when I myself am a believer, lgbt, and also suffering from ocd.

@9jewels Same. I’m bi and have religious ocd, but my beleif that God loves me has never been in doubt, despite so much else being in doubt for me. There are theologians in every religion that can argue in favor of same sex love.

@Nikki1809 Thank you for your comment, it feels nice to have people understand where I am coming from

@9jewels Same! That’s how I feel too. Thank you for commenting it really feels nice to have people agreeing with me and see where I am coming from
