I am of the camp that the Bible has a lot of good but it is not perfect. I always point people to a few passages.

John 7:22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.

In this passage, Jesus says that circumcision did not come from Moses. So, wherever physical circumcision is written in the Bible is not from God. Jesus said so. People like to ignore that.

Also, Genesis 9:1-3 The Covenant with Noah before Leviticus.

9 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Everything is good to eat. So, the food prohibitions in Leviticus are not from God.

Then, Genesis 19:1-8, particularly verse 8. Sodom and Gomorrah which is often used to state that the "homosexual" men of Sodom were trying to have sex with the men, actually angels, who came to stay in Lot's house. In verse 8, Lot offers his virgin daughters to the men of Sodom. If this passage was about being gay, Lot would not have offered his daughters. This passage is about promiscuity, a complete lack of love, which does go against God.

I know that God loves LGTBQ+ people as much as anyone else and more than hateful people. A lot of "Christians" will be in for a rude awakening on the day of judgment when God explains that love is the most important thing and that hate is not what God wants ever.
