I don't even believe in democracy. I am just using that as a point because I know you lefties believe in and are being hypocritical whenever it doesn't fit your agenda. If we go by "democracy" in Muslim countries, we can see that no one tolerates homosexuality.

But you get to have a say on what is acceptable and what is not? Isn't the point of democracy that society dictates what is acceptable and what is not? If the majority dictate that LGBT is moral or immoral, then shouldn't you accept the result of that. Throughout history, homosexuality has been a sin and it still is because we can see the consequences of it manifested in this day and age.

If enlightening people on how dangerous this movement is makes me an idiot then so be it. Muhammad (ﷺ) was called many evil things but Alhamdulillah, Islam has been thriving since then and soon to be the largest religion in the world.

I'm an advocate for open source and free speech. That is why I am here at Lemmy. Just because there is an echo chamber, doesn't mean it has to be that way. I thought open source was all about giving power back to the people? So now I can't have that because my views are different from another group of people? And no I'm not going to those websites because they are in fact echo chambers on the opposite end of the spectrum. Right-wing folk that treat America like their religion.

Yes, clearly because an open source federated platform is a place to censor and shut down people to only create an echo chamber of lefties and tankies.

I thought lemmy was a place to express your views freely.

Citing a blog as a source. This is where you get your credible research from?

They are in the US. less than 2% in the US. If you look at Muslim countries, they don't have these social issues. Other issues like corruption sure, but not this degeneracy.

It seems to me like you aren't reading any of my replies so I'm just going to stop here. Like I said same-sex activity was legal since 1962 in Illinois. The data DOES provide an accurate representation.

My friend, you literally asked me to provide quotes from the article. I'm not the one acting high and mighty when you're the one that isn't even making any points here. The numbers in the quote I provided are directly from the Illinois child services and the conclusion that they made is the last sentence in that abstract. Very simple if you claim you already read that.

Real mature for mocking religious figures. If you don't have the decency to respect other groups, this just shows your hypocracy for defending the LGBT group. I thought leftists were supposed to defend minorities?

I ain't trolling. Knew I was going to get reactionary hate but was looking for some honest discussion. I guess I expected too much from this echo chamber.

So are you saying gay parents have some other problem that is causing this?

Ok I think you are just trolling at this point. You can literally read the abstract in this paper: https://sci-hub.st/10.2466/pr0.96.1.227-230 on the first page on the first paragraph. If you can't read, then that says more about you than it does about me.

My friend, have you ever taken a look at the books they read? You will be shocked by what you see. You can look it up yourself if you don't believe me.

I'm not sure what your point is here but here you go: Illinois child services reported sexual abuse for 1997 through 2002. 270 parents committed "substantiated" sexual offenses against foster or subsidized adoptive children: 67 (69%) of 97 of these mother and 148 (86%) of 173 of these father perpetrators sexually abused girls; 30 (31%) of the mothers and 25 (14%) of the father perpetrators sexually abused boys, i.e., 92 (34%) of the perpetrators homosexually abused their charges. Of these parents 15 both physically and sexually abused charges: daughters by 8 of the mothers and 4 of the fathers, sons by 3 of the mothers, i.e., same-sex perpetrators were involved in 53%. Thus, homosexual practitioners were proportionately more apt to abuse foster or adoptive children sexually.

You can literally read the abstract in that paper.

Illinois was the first state to allow sodomy in the US, here is the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Illinois

"Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1962, after Illinois became the first U.S. state to repeal its sodomy laws."

If that is how blind and one-sided you are living in your echo chamber. Then there's nothing I can do about that except hope you are guided to the truth or face the consequences you will see in the next 10 or 20 years how much more worse the situation has gotten with this LGBT agenda.

Just like you are a bigot to my religious beliefs right?

I can't speak about your experience as a Christian and neither can I speak about that as I'm not one myself obviously. But shoving down gay stuff to my kids will affect them mentally and psychologically. It's proven by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services that gay parents are significantly more like to sexually abuse their kids than straight ones. https://sci-hub.st/10.2466/pr0.96.1.227-230
