    Baptists aren’t a group and don’t necessarily hate LGBTQ people. It’s a low-church movement/denomination within Christianity which is not defined at all by sexuality.

    Some Baptist churches are even gay-affirming.

      Of course they’re a group. Each church is comprised of a group of people with like beliefs.

      And while there are Baptist churches that are more friendly to LGBTQ people, there’s a reason this man had to hide who he was from the people in his particular church.

        That’s generally a thing with all churches, though.
