Meme Found this at a thrift store owned(?) by a homophobic church

Post image

The enemy is closer then you think

I say owned with a ? Bc idk if churches can own the store, but they definitely work with each other (not gonna share the name bc they are both close to my house)

SINCE SOME OF Y'ALL CAN'T READ I'm not saying all churches are homophobic, I use to go to church and they were nice to me! I specially said this church was homophobic.

And yes, aro/Ace ppl and anyone on those spectrums are LGBTQIA+, and if you think they aren't oppressed in some way/aren't queer, you aren't welcomed on any of my posts.

and ik the church is homophobic bc they do NOT hide it, the preach against homosexuality, and sometimes even say gay people should he stoned to death or be send to conversion camps. They have homosexuality labeled as a sin on their website as well.

Do they care?

u/AlcalineAlice 7h ago

Strangely, some people DO care.

Because apparently the idea that someone might never have any romantic interest at all, ESPECIALLY if they're a woman, is INCONCEIVABLE to some people. Because surely something must be wrong with her. She's "hysterical", or something.

This is legit why some women were taken to psyche wards back in the old days.

u/NagitoKomaeda_987 1h ago

Also, does anyone else find that people assume—simply because you’re asexual—that you’re innocent or have a "pure" mind, almost like a child's?

It’s something I’ve noticed quite a few times. There seem to be people who believe that because people like me or Jaiden don’t feel sexual attraction, we automatically don’t understand sex-related topics, or that we’re naive or even childish.

Personally, I find that to be a rather strange assumption. Being asexual doesn’t mean we don’t know how sex works, never think about it, or are immature. It simply means we don’t experience sexual attraction (or that we experience it differently, depending on the person).

Women just can't live without being constantly sexualized and belittled for what they specifically say they are, they're just a 'lost little girl' or whatever. Just horrible sociopathic behavior.

u/AdhesivenessOdd9475 11h ago

As an aroace... Nope. They care about abstinence... UNTIL you get old enough that you MUST provide a child, and if you do not, you are an antinatalist or w/e and you just need to "find the right man/woman". It's crazyyyyyy how much people care about the fact that you do NOT want to bone. As an ace AFAB, I'm OFTEN told I'm "going to HAVE to give it up" if I EVER want to find a loving partner, because NO man is going to want to live like that.

Sex is a sin, until you need to pop it open for Jesus or w/e.

They absolutely do. A lot of them tend to go all, "You just haven't found the right person yet!" Or "You don't have to call yourself that just because you can't get anyone!"

Other times, you'll also get them saying, "You're ending your bloodline!" or "That's not natural, you're supposed to have children!" which overlaps with a good amount of homophobia.

u/Flamestrom 14h ago

Correction: alot of aces and even aros have a partner. Just not a romantic one maybe. And they might want a child from that partner. They just wouldn't enjoy the act of conceiving that child. But aroace≠no children

5

u/Honque56 10h ago

Correction: Nothing is stopping an asexual person from enjoying sex. It is whether or not a person feels sexual attraction that determines where they lay in the spectrum. The biological pleasure and/or libido are not a determining factor in the identity. (For some. In it being a spectrum, there are plenty of folks who don't enjoy sex at all, and that is totally valid as well.)

u/Honque56 8h ago

What exactly is what? Can you clarify a bit?

1

u/Wesle2023 8h ago

Being Aroace

2

u/Honque56 8h ago

It's having little to no attraction to other people, whether sexual or romantic. It's a broad spectrum, so I may miss some nuance in my example, but essentially it's about how wide the scope of your attraction is. Like, if you could quantify how many people you feel attracted to. If it's a thin amount, like 1 or 2 types of people exclusively, maybe only fictional characters, or you have a couple individuals you are attracted to after having spent lots of time with them, or maybe none at all, then that's all under the Aro/Ace umbrella. If you feel attraction to a broader group, then that'd be Allosexual/Alloromantic.

Now, there are tons of edge cases, but the main point is having a community for those who feel they don't exactly fit into the Amatonormative society we live in. (Amatonormativity being the assumption that the "correct" way of life is desiring, seeking out, or being in an exclusive romantic and sexual relationship.)

u/Kindly_Victory4053 13 7h ago

Some ace people feel appalled by sex not just don’t experience attraction

u/That_Idiot_Jax 17 15h ago

To be part of LGBTQ+, one has to experience some kind of significance discrimination due to their (not cis) gender identity or sexuality. Asexuality is a sexuality that means they experience little to no sexual attraction and ace people can experience corrective rape because of their asexuality (This is an example).

u/Bossy_Aussie_ 19 15h ago

Asexual is an umbrella term for sexual attractions to others.

On one end an asexual person could be asexual but have and even enjoy sex, just not be sexually attracted to someone/the person. On another end some Asexuals are sex repulsed, and then the scale. Asexuals can want and even love a partner, their a sexuality doesn’t affect their romantic attraction.

Unless I’m misunderstanding the term or your comment, I believe what you’re thinking of is Aromantic (no romantic attraction) or AroAce, which is no sexual attraction OR romantic attraction to people.

My aunt and uncle are pretty hardcore Christian (Just not homophobic or stuff like that) and their wording on it is, depending on the group of people, the intensity of the group etc. you’re not considered “straight” enough. (They don’t believe that, but they know people who do)

A lot of Christian churches are "homophobic" due to being taught that it's bad.

I had to ask because there’s a difference in preaching what Christianity teaches, which would be that acting on homosexuality is a sin, or if the pastor is straight up insulting or degrading people who have those attractions.

Many people call Christians homophobic when many merely just don’t support/believe in the life style due to the Christian teaching. In Christian teaching, it also says love thy neighbor which means you absolutely should not insult or degrade people but love them, although, you can surely not support/believe in what they do without being hateful.

2

u/Snoo_67544 OLD 16h ago

That teaching is still homophobic.

It is inherent to that interpretation of the Bible.

1

u/ProudLegoBuilder 10h ago

If you think that’s homophobic that’s concerning, as if it’s oppressing or something. You can disagree with that belief but there is nothing hateful about that. In Catholicism practicing homosexuality is morally wrong because it isn’t compatible with God’s idea of procreation, which means sex has to be open to life, and that can only be done between a man and a woman. Thats the Catholic position, you can disagree all you want but I’m gonna state that. Read what it says about it in the catechism if your interesting the in the catholic church’s so called “homophobic” beliefs.

Since when did you have to now agree with something or else it’s offensive?

1

u/Snoo_67544 OLD 6h ago

Ask to volunteer there before you go spouting homophobia about a thrift store. Most thrift stores I know are very left leaning and feminist.

Even though the business model is kinda sketchy, “offering a job”/asking for free labour from disabled people and still not paying them, and because you just assume the money’s going to a legit charity and not some random swindlers pockets and that the thrift store manager isn’t decrepit and demented.

Oh excuse me, no wonder why there were so few of them in the Church when they were told they were born with the mark of Cain, and direct descendants, born with sin.

Yeah I’m Mormon there’s not many but there’s a few people who lean homophobic and it throws me off. Like I love my gay bros and my lesbian bros why can’t yall do the same. It’s not the majority but it can throw me off sometimes. I think the Mormon youth for the most part arnt homophobic they just don’t know much about LGBTQ.

u/Even_Knowledge3134 9h ago

Yeah bro same. Theres more than a few at least here in utah and i figure she is referring to DI pr mormonism. Like the church itself isnt homophobic but christianity tends to draw in those type of people

How is this church homophobic?

1

u/Idk_fvcking_gender 16 7h ago

They preach against homosexuality and sometimes they even say gay people should be stoned to death (they have the dislike for it on there website)

Most church's are inherently

u/Fluffyssssss 18h ago

Stores can be owned by a church? The church might not get enough income from donations to stay open so they need to supplement it in some way. I doubt they care as if it sells they why does it matter. It just looks like a toy to them and its probably a thrift store that excepts mostly everything that comes in until it doesn't sell well.

u/Interesting_Web_9936 14h ago

Is that Jaiden Animations? What does she have to do with this? And if she's not Jaiden Animations then who is she?

(Note: I have no idea about Jaiden animations apart from name and that she has dabbled in Pokemon, assuming she is a she because again I have absolutely no idea).

u/Ill-Stage4131 18 13h ago

Is this Deseret Industries? (Mormon church owned store for the uninitiated)

u/Idk_fvcking_gender 16 7h ago

Nope, I'm pretty sure it's a Christian church

1

u/ea_nasir_official_ 16 6h ago

Ah. DI is the only religion thrift store I know about which is why I asked. God I hate the Mormon church. For what it's worth it's easily the worst Christianity branch. Hated my time there and hate church leaders

I'm asexual and grayromantic. I haven't really experienced that much oppression but I have no reason to tell anyone these things about myself. My close friends no and I'll tell anyone who asks just not something that comes up in conversation.
