This is why Evangelicals largely voted for Trump. Not because the like him but because he doesn't think that they are the equivalent of the KKK.
No one is saying "they are equivalent to the KKK."
The KKK is pure hate. The Christian religion (all faiths) have some flaws, but I do believe that they at least try to preach some basic standards of decency, morals and love.
But for whatever reason, social liberals are obsessed with Christian teaching against homosexuality. They think that people who hold such views are a threat to society.
... Bigotry isn't a threat to society?
