As a Catholic I have a hard time with things like this.
Mark 11:15-18
15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.”
18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.
He was clearly angry when he entered the Temple and saw what was going on. "He overturned the tables...", "He would not allow...", sound like someone who might be pissed?
Hate is a sin. Hating sinners is judgement, and not for humans. Anger, when it is focused on blasphemy, is not simply sanctioned in the Bible. It is required of the followers of Christ even if you are a lone voice in the wilderness.
It's a horrendous blasphemy, and you should be more than not just OK with it. It's far worse than dressing up Fredrick Douglas and Martin Luther King in Klan garb. They want Jesus of that LGBTQXYZ obscenity to be a loving and accepting
man who thinks everything you want to do is ok. But, that is NOT the actual Jesus of the Bible. He was those things, but he also passed judgment on the unrighteous, and he wants stuff from us. He did not come here to upend or change the law at all, but to fulfill it.
Matthew 5:17-20
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Would he have mercy on a Gay or Trans person of faith? That is a certainty, but then he would say, "Go and sin no more." Oops! I forgive you, but change your behavior. They want the message of Christ to be without works, without faith, and without God's Law. Sorry, like everything else in this reality it doesn't work that way, and it isn't just a free pass to sin as much as you want. Those churches who put that flag out and preach pride in ANY sin are the damned. Not murderers, or adulters, or rapists or the worst sinners among us who repent. They can find the Kingdom of Heaven, but those who promote sin and teach to have pride in breaking The Law are committing unredeemable sins just like those changing money and selling doves for a blood sacrifice at the Temple. It made Jesus mad, and it should make you mad too.
Isn't it interesting that after the crucifixion of Christ and the Temple Vail being torn the Romans destroyed the Temple (as Christ predicted) and the practice of blood sacrifice was ended permanently in the Jewish tradition. It is said that when the Temple is rebuilt the practice will resume till The Beast stops it, and then, as Zechariah says in the Old Testament, "the one whom they have piecered" will return.
It's very interesting stuff, and it doesn't require a whole lot of "deep" interpretation. This shit is getting to be so in-your-face that even non-believers are starting to get very uncomfortable. Those of us who follow Christ don't have that option. We must take the example of Jesus and find our anger. This isn't some theological difference or skirmish among protestants. This is flagrant blasphemy against God and Christ and is nothing less than open warfare. There is nothing and no sin that should be more disgusting to believers.
I've had to have many conversations with my children about the difference between being tolerant of sinners, and accepting/endorsing sin. This is specifically meant to confuse people who don't believe and those who are immature in their faith. Take it seriously, because the demons who created it don't mean to just kill you. They mean murder your soul for all eternity.
We're getting very close now.
