And fuck off even more for your reaction to "I'm queer, trans, and ex-Catholic; you don't want me" being "actually, yes we do".
I did roughly the same thing to one of the volunteers for a minor political party at the last state election, and with less excuse (since, after all, they are allowed to hang around the outside of polling places trying to convince undecideds.) He responded the same way. Then he said "What if I'm gay? How do you know I'm not?" (Then you're still volunteering for a party that works to promote discrimination against gay people, and you're still anti-abortion and anti-feminist and...)
"I'm not that bad, so why do I need Jesus?"
*rages* That line of reasoning always seems to go into such horrible places so quickly.
And given that they (not Christians in general, prosletisers/evangelists, especially ones who recruit strangers or only interact with non-Christians in the context of trying to convert them) so very obviously have no care or concern for the people they're recruiting, beyond flipping their "are you saved?" binary bit from 0 to 1, it's egregious how much damage they're willing to do in the process.
