I totally get what you mean. People assume that I must be faithless and anti religion because I am bi. I am not. I am a Christian and my faith is strong. I believe in a God of love who recognises that love comes in many forms. It's a weird existance that in day to day life I find it easier to come out as bi than I do as a Christian.
Yes there are those Christians who are still anti-gay, but there are so many who are fully supportive and welcoming. But as you say, the other speak louder so that's all anyone hears. And (this will piss peopple of, but it's just my opinion, I'm not asking anyone else to buy in) I still think there is a huge section of the LGBT community who look for things to be pissed of at and take offence at. These are the ones who only listen to the loud Christian anti-gay movement and ignore the wealth of Christian support that is out there. It's a mentality I've never understood, but run into far too many times. It's why I stopped being active in LGBT campaigning.
I'm really sorry that people have directed their thoughtless comments against you like this.
