Alr basically on Q there was an awareness post. The person that was in the wrong had been homophobic and was pushing their Christian beliefs onto people. They seem like a terrible and annoying person in general.
A lot of people were harassing this person and someone told the person to die. The person is 12 years old, so she shouldn’t be on Quotev anyway. I thought that giving death threats was taking it too far, and I said just that. However, I do NOT AT ALL agree with what the said person was saying or doing. I think it’s horrible and disgusting. What I was trying to say was that people should just block the person and stop harassing her since she didn’t want to listen to anybody at all. I also said that telling a 12 year old to die is kind of crossing the line a bit.
Come to find out, after people had investigated, the person had told someone to die first and then was told to die in return.
I KNOW I offended someone and apologized profusely.
The point I was trying to make was that making a bunch of alts to go and harass a person because they’re being an ass doesn’t exactly make the person harassing them in the right either.
I really need to know if I’m in the wrong. I’ve apologized many times because I kind of strayed away from the point and was a bit careless with my words and made an assumption without knowing the truth. -
The person said she was raised to believe all of those things and honestly, I kinda believe her considering how some Christian parents lead their kids to believe that lgbtq is a bad thing. My parents teach me and my siblings the same thing. I don’t give in to it, I used to when I was younger and didn’t know better, but I don’t now because homophobia is disgusting. As is pushing religion onto someone

I thought Christian’s also believed that the equality of people is also important?

Some don’t

Pffft
If it’s a belief it’s a belief -
I don't think you're wrong. You did your best to be a compassionate person with the information you had. I don't really think anyone should tell anyone to die, even if someone else said it first, so regardless of what who did first, I still respect you for how you handled it.

Not as good with words as road but I totally ahree

I have a hard time passing judgement onto kids especially when they're younger..most of what you believe growing up are things you were told. Your brain is still developing & you don't always have critical thinking skills or the tools to seek out the truth for yourself. I too was homophobic & Christian at the age of twelve.
I don't really understand the situation because I am not on quotev but I don't think you should beat yourself up over it. I hope what I said makes sense & is at least a little helpful? Don't be mean to yourself June I'm sure you did what you thought was best in the moment ♥ -
Conflict between lgbtq and christianity.
If you're lgbtq and a christian insults you, don't fight or say mean things back to them. It shows that you're no better than them at all. -
You’re not in the wrong. My parents raised me the exact same way as this girl to where we believe LGBTQ+ is wrong, and we become homophobes. I think it strands from abuse at home, and she may be going through some stuff. But if you’re just telling her off about it and correcting her and other’s actions so there’s no fatal/harmful consequences, you’re fine.

Excuse me, the f---? If you're lgbtq+ and anyone insults you, you have every right to defend yourself. And it doesn't mean you're no better than them. It is not your responsibility to be the bigger person. You're allowed to stand up for yourself. -

There’s nothing wrong with not supporting LGBTQ+, however if you insult an LGBTQ+ person and continuously harass them, the victim should be allowed to voice and defend themselves. -
I do think the girl who insulted everybody was in the wrong and needed to be educated. Desperately. Her actions were incredibly harmful to others. The victims have a right to defend themselves. The person who insulted them apologized, so where my worry was coming from was when everybody kept stalking her account after the fact and then when the thing about someone telling her to kill herself had me asking that question about if someone said that. I thought that yes, it was right for everybody to voice their opinions about what they felt, just not bring violence into the conversation?
Anyway, thanks. I needed to know. I still feel horrible about that, but this and the person who made the awareness post forgiving me made me feel a tad bit better. :,)
