Help please! [View all]

I am in an ongoing battle with a Trumpian hypocrite that honestly believes that all gay people are going to hell because they are gay. The same for trans people. She says there are bible passages, my argument is that Jesus said to love thy neighbor as thyself without reservation. I am aware of plenty of nasty stuff in the old testament and acts of the apostles. But of course my arguement is that Jesus Himself never spoke of it and they were just men.

What makes this worse is it is a social online game we play and as she has a large club, she has began a "Bible Study" and is pushing her crap on all of them. Many of whom are gay and now crying because they feel they have sinned and are going to hell.

She also has a twelve year old granddaughter who is trans and is making her feel awful too. I have plead with her that these children are taking their lives daily and that gays face sooo much abuse and worse to please stop but she will not.

It's to the point I am just trying to save some lives here and not getting anywhere. Any help is most appreciated. Thank you
