To play devil's advocate (pun not intended), this community poses an interesting quandary.
When seen in context, their rules do clearly prohibit any hate speech against the LGBTQ+ community:
I'd be interested to see the admin's ruling in this case.
I was going to say something pretty similar to what you were.
I'm the last one to generally defend religious people, but are they actually being bigoted?
There's a pretty large difference between not affirming something and attacking something and frankly flipping through the community I didn't see either of those things occurring.
It sounds like the original poster just doesn't like the rule itself.
That sounds pretty intolerant to me. How else do you define a bigot?
Putting gay content on a Christian community is like putting a Pitbull in a nursery. It's done only to cause a problem.
Would you put gay content in a Muslim community?
What are you on about? There are many Christians who have no problem with LGBTQ+, and there are lots of relevant issues about it to discuss, especially in a Christian community.
If it was on topic, yeah sure. It's on them for having a problem with someone's identity.
If it was on-topic it was allowed as the other rules clearly stated.
Then why specify at all? Assumedly anything off-topic would be removed.
Well, probably not anymore, since not allowing lgbt discussion is enough to get your community banned without warning. Its always on topic.
"We allow lgbt discussion as long as it's not positive toward lgbt people."
Then I think you've fundamentally misunderstood. If I have a community about baseball, and I don't allow non-baseball content, I would not have a rule stating "no non-baseball content and no LGBT content". That doesn't make any sense, and would only be included if I also wanted to remove baseball-and-lgbt content, which would be bigoted.
