“There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus” Galatians 3:28 seems pretty dispositive to me on gender and sexuality strictly looking at the text

Genesis 1:27-28: “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created THEM. God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.’” The emphasis on “them” is mine and a cheeky joke kind of, but I can’t help but take a more layered reading of this and see this more as being as much about the male and female polarities and not only gender as such, as much and at the same time as the specific imperative for heterosexual partners to go forth and procreate. Why would God give a shit if some of his flock were gay or trans, as long as the ship of mankind sails on? Simply unconvincing to take an anti LGBTQ reading of the Bible. Most of this seems to be arguments about words, sports and civil social conventions like the word marriage
