Take a look at this YouTube video:
It was made by a user known as BizarreFrog. This is his YouTube channel:

Indeed, most Plotagonists I know are fully supportive of LGBT rights, which is what Pride Month is all about.
And yet the very next video on his channel is THIS:
So he is a Mormon. Does he not know what his religion teaches?

Feelings of same-sex attraction are not a sin. President M. Russell Ballard said: “Let us be clear: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that ‘the experience of same-sex attraction is a complex reality for many people. The attraction itself is not a sin, but acting on it is. Even though individuals do not choose to have such attractions, they do choose how to respond to them. With love and understanding, the Church reaches out to all God’s children, including [those with same-sex attraction].’”

So the standard is for gays and lesbians to be celibate, not to engage in any sexual behavior that fits their orientation. To me, that is profoundly insulting. You might as well demand a person starve themself to death.
The Roman Catholic Church has required that all its clergy be celibate. Is it a coincidence that it is also notorious for that same clergy sexually abusing children and trying for so long to cover it up? It seems to me that when you try to suppress for too long natural sexual urges, it eventually comes out in destructive ways. It also breeds hypocrisy like rabbits.
Straight people have the option of marriage, so why not LGBT people? Then they would be equal in the sight of God. Denying LGBT people marriage as an option is by definition treating them as lesser beings. So don’t talk to me about treating them with “kindness, compassion and understanding.” That’s clearly a lie!
And this argument is just insulting to my intelligence:
No, what is horrid is misrepresenting your own religion to make it look better than it really is.
There are over 270,000 people in this subreddit who would likely argue that Mormonism IS a cult and Mormons ARE brainwashed, because they were members and left it, so they would know!

I hope BizarreFrog someday grows up and investigates the truth about his religion, realizing how horrible it is. Not only for being homophobic, but also being racist and sexist too. And basing its teachings on a book that is totally filled with bullshit.
The Book of Mormon is a P.O.S.
And there is the case of Mormon leaders manipulating poor people into destroying themselves financially, which should be consider a CRIME against humanity!
Mormon leaders need to STFU about tithing!
Mormons as PEOPLE shouldn’t be mocked, but MORMONISM should absolutely be condemned as the repressive cult of lies it is!
