“the LGBT community should stop and try to force your views and homosexuality on people who do not agree.”
Although you stated that LGBTQ+ people shove their sexuality on other people, I find it to be quite the opposite. Some people call their kids a "lady killer" and to "keep them away from all the ladies/men" basically forcing the image that they are straight. Although when it's in terms of the kid liking the same gender, the kid is "too young to know what they like". Some cishet Christians also say that LGBTQ+ people are going to hell if they don't convert and repent their "sin" of being gay.

Well, being gay is a sin.
Leviticus 18:22 ESV: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination."

It was referring to pedophilia...

It's important to remember that the Bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted in various ways throughout history. Leviticus also mentions other rules, such as not wearing clothing made of two different fabrics or not eating shellfish, which many people do not follow today. We must consider the historical context in which these texts were written and recognize that our understanding of morality and human rights has evolved over time. Should we not prioritize love, acceptance, and equality for all, regardless of their sexual orientation? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on how we can reconcile religious beliefs with the need for equal rights for all individuals, including those in same-sex relationships.

There is a difference between "don't eat shellfish" and "don't have sex with another man." One was a rule meant to distinguish Israel from other cultures. The other is a rule that still applies today. Marriage is specifically between a man and a woman. Also, love is important, yes, but the type of love that is biblical is wanting what is best for others, and not just accepting everyone. Also, saying a man cannot marry another man is equality. After all, we are not letting straight people marry the same sex. The rule applies for everyone.
