I would think specifically not allowing "pro-LGBTQ+ content" is being pretty bigoted. Just because it is a religious belief does not mean it can't also be bigoted.

~~If this little "loophole" is enough to allow this kind of thing to stay on this instance, I would be worried. But I'll wait and see what the admins have to say about it.~~ Resolved: https://lemmy.world/comment/1455537

I think that would depend on what "Pro-LGBTQ+ content" means. It's quite a vague term. Does it refer to posts, discussion topics, or what?

They do follow up by saying that serious discussion about LGBTQ+ issues is acceptable, so the fact that are open to discussion, in theory, could be a point in their defense.

Community's gone now, so it's a moot point, but:

Assume they allow casual images. Someone posts an image of a pride celebration out front of a church. It's removed. Is this not obviously bigoted?

Are you giving an example of a real situation or are you just imagining? There is a big difference.

We cannot ban them because you think they would remove a post like that

Why assume anything? To strawman?

No, to brainstorm a point, seeing as the community has now been banned and thus I have no idea what specific content they allowed outside the rule snippets posted here. Problem's resolved, we're done.
