No creator has given us anything. Everything we have we have gotten for ourselves. If your god loved us so much why would he create people with a sinful sexual nature?

I get all my clothes from the Salvation Army, I don’t give a what religion the Salvation army is affiliated with. As long as they keep supplying me with clothes.
I go to bible study every tuesday, do I believe in that shit, no, but do I get free food? YES.
The moral of the story is, FREE FOOD FTW

What is not true?
I think your claim is that the entire Salvation Army is doing more in one hour than any one specific gay person does in their life time. I can not really refute that claim.
It does not change the central thesis that money would be better donated to a non-bigoted organization. One that does more in ONE HALF HOUR than any one specific gay person does in their life time.
See how stupid a statement that is? Nah, you probably do not.
