Having a racially diverse church does not necessarily make that group of people liberal.

There are plenty of liberals, especially the religious, that will not share their discomfort, or even disdain, of LGBTQ+ folks in public discourse. They will give performative answers, so that they can show the world that are enlightened. I’ve heard coworkers, as recently as 2 nights ago, saying homophobic or transphobic things whilst unaware that I was nearby. When I confronted one of them about it, he said “my sister is a lesbian, so what is the problem?” Guy calls himself an ally, who happened to vote for trump. I explained why calling oneself an ally is more than just a self-proscribed label, but I know it is lost on him. He is an idiot who blames those people for his problems.

Conservatives are hypocrites at heart. Those with money, and their working class useful idiots, will do and say the exact opposite of what they impose on others, as it suits them. Out of state abortions? Grindr hookups at CPAC?

Christians don’t see that those of us looking in from the outside see no such thing as liberalism in these house’s of worship. This is why it makes news when the extreme minority of church’s allow us to participate.

LGBTQ+ people are certainly capable of and demonstrate hypocrisy as well. (LGB Drop the T, WLW TERFS, bisexual erasure, racism, etc)

Being anti-Trump is not a monolith. Plenty of people dislike the man, but still stand for all of the bigoted conservative views he and his ilk have co-opted. I cannot understand why the “log cabin republicans” exist other than that they want to fit in so bad, they are happy to be one of the good ones. They think they have a seat at the table, when in reality they are pets begging for scraps. They are used by the right to point to and say “we don’t hate the gays, just the freaks that shove it in our faces.”

No different than with people of color—not a monolith. Look at how many Asian and Latino immigrants who are fervent republicans. People of color can absolutely be racists, as it is a human condition. Latino’s voted for the brutalization of their brothers and sisters, for reasons I will never understand, because those are not my lived experiences. For the many years where I hung out with VN folks, I’ve witnessed SE Asian racism against minority SE Asians, but it certainly is a very different beast than white supremacy. It ultimately is a we are better than them worldview.

All people are capable of bigotry and hypocrisy. They’ll claim to be independent while voting straight ticket only one way or the other for their entire adult life. People have voted against their interests for as long as elections have been held. If they did not, the republicans would have lost their grip on the wheel once minority groups started to grow.
