#but like idk man i'm not joking when i said i've seen weird shit aimed at other queer religious folk too

[snail-speed]

Look I know why it happens and all, but sometimes it is tiring to be a queer Christian (maybe religious in general? IDK I haven't seen much respect for other queer religious folk out there but it could be me being pessimistic, I'd love to hear from anyone out there that falls into these categories).

Like on one hand you get hit with conservative queerphobia even if you're not looking for it, and on the other hand your queer peers (understandably but still) go full Jimmy Neutron r/atheism from time to time unprompted. Like yeah sure I guess the easy solution would be to just stop being religious but I feel it doesn't go to the core of the issue.

It's impossible to talk about this in "typical" Christian spaces due to crypto right-wingers and extremely hard in queer spaces due to the eggshells people lay on the floor. Like when dealing with conservatives fuck you, I was born queer, God quite literally made me this way, deal with it. When dealing with anti-theist queer folks I understand religious abuse is horrifying, but it's genuinely hurtful that I'm treated as "one of the bad ones," an oppressor, or actively stupid simply for continuing to be religious, as if I haven't been also hit with religious abuse or as if I was part of an actively dangerous sect like WBC just for being Christian.

I guess my gripe comes down to the fact both sides, to varying degrees, don't think people like me deserve respect.
