Pride Month finally gets serious pushback

[Michie]

As a follower of Jesus, I believe in treating every human being with civility and grace. And to be quite specific, I believe in loving my LGBT neighbor as myself. At the same time, because I care for the greater good of society and believe that God’s ways are best, I oppose many of the goals of LGB activism. That’s why I was glad to see a much-more diminished version of Pride Month in 2024. The pushback, which I have been expecting for years, continues to grow.

Last year, things were so over the top and in your face that the longtime gay ally Piers Morgan asked, “Have we gone rainbow crazy or is pride month more important than patriotism?” And in response to a challenge from a gay comedian, Morgan answered, “I’m not triggered by a rainbow flag. I’m triggered by the fact that everywhere that I go for a month everything has to be a rainbow flag.”

Last year, things got so extreme with Target’s “tuck” bathing suits for males who identified as females (including children) that Joe Rogan commented, “When I go to Target, I don’t wanna see like [expletive] tuck pants. They’re designed to help you tuck your [expletive]. Like, hey, that’s not normal.”

Last year we were also in the thick of the Bud Light boycott, with Rogan calling the so-called “transgender influencer” Dylan Mulvaney “a confused person.” As for Kid Rock, he let his gun do the talking (before adding some choice expletives).

Already, by the end of last year, Kid Rock had softened his stance, saying that Bud “‘deserved a black eye and they got one’ for the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, but then added he’s over the boycott. ‘So, do I want to hold their head underwater and drown them because they made a mistake? No, I think they got the message.’”

It would be hard to miss a message that cost you more than one billion dollars.

Target got the message too.

Amen to this. Let us hope that there will be absolutely no pride month in 2025.

The Pride month celebrations may be like pumpkin spice. Every fall, I hear jokes about how pumpkin spice seems to be EVERYWHERE! I could see rainbow flags being the pumpkin spice of June.

 

[RileyG]

June will always be the Sacred Heart of Jesus month to me. I pay no attention to so-called "Pride Month."

Amen Brother! After 30 years as a born-again Christian, I realize the hate in the world comes from Christians who are in the face of other sinners. We protest against gays and abortion when we should be loving and praying for them. We war against flesh and blood but not against the principalities. We wonder why gays have to create their own churches because they feel they aren't welcomed in ours.

The co-worker who showed the Gospel to me didn't come at me about my sins but we are all sinners and not one is greater than the other. If he had pointed out my sins I would have turned and walked away while calling him a hypocrite. Our conversation was about world religions and Christianity. I've heard terms like baby killers or turn-or-burn messages and used them.

Then I come to these forums and see the same battles on the streets. We have the luxury of knowing sin because of the bible but when you approach a nonbeliever about sin it's like speaking Klingon to them. From AI search:

Jesus approach to sinners

Jesus modeled a unique approach to sinners, one that is still relevant today. Here are some key aspects of his approach:

Don’t judge others: Jesus taught us not to judge others (Matthew 7:1-2). He didn’t condemn people for their sins, but instead, showed compassion and love.

Focus on being a light: Instead of trying to change others, Jesus focused on being a light to them (Matthew 5:14-16). He showed the world what it means to live a life of love, kindness, and forgiveness.

Love and accept: Jesus loved and accepted people as they were, without trying to change them (John 3:16). He didn’t condemn the Samaritan woman at the well, but instead, showed her love and acceptance (John 4:1-42).

Write in the dust: When confronted with sin, Jesus didn’t draw a line in the sand or condemn the sinner. Instead, he wrote in the dust, pointing out that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23) (John 8:1-11).

Focus on being a servant: Jesus didn’t come to judge or condemn, but to serve and love (Matthew 20:28). He showed us that being a servant to others is the best way to reach and love sinners.

By following Jesus’ example, we can learn to approach sinners with compassion, love, and acceptance, rather than judgment and condemnation.

June will always be the Sacred Heart of Jesus month to me. I pay no attention to so-called "Pride Month."

I moved from Seattle to rural Kentucky 13 years ago. Even though this is a university town, pride month is ignored here. I like it that way. There are a lot of stupid things we get to ignore here. I even ignored Covid.

 

[frienden thalord]

Amen to this. Let us hope that there will be absolutely no pride month in 2025.

About the only thing they got right about pride month is that it sure is PRIDE .
now what got sodom destroyed . PRIDE .
You know how often i hear i love my lgbt neighbors
and yet churches allow the unrepentant , KEY WORD UNREPENANT
to reamin in sin , even remain married ,
SO allow me some parting words .
DO you or anyone else have children , maybe a spouse , or for sure you have a mother or etc .
WELL visualize this next scenario real closely .
LETS say i was sitting on the edge of a frozen pond . I KNEW it contained much thin ice and that
at any time it could break through .
Now visuliaze this please . THEN along comes your child , or mother , or whatever
and i see them putting on the skates .
BUT rather than warning , HOW DARE ONE WARN OR ACCUSE , i just say HEY GOD is love
all is well . And then they begin to skate .
I holler GOD is love , hey all is well , GOD is love you are fine.
THEN the ice breaks through , THEY DROWN .
NOW when you arrive and say hey how come you didnt warn them what they were doing was dangerous .
AND I TELL YOU , HEY DONT JUDGE , GOD IS LOVE , I DIDNT JUDGE THEM OR HATE THEM
i just let them do as they wanted to do , YOU try real hard to show me WHERE THE LOVE WAS IN ALL OF THAT .
THEY DIED . THEY PERISHED .
SO Tell me , DEAR CHURCH , where the heck is the love in not warning ya own memebers about the dangers of SAID SINS .
exactly alex . satan is pushing a false love unto the churches , a judge not
that is only allowing more leaven in . And now they believe in a god that is okay with their sin .
DO UNDERSTAND alex why i did not capitlize that god . WE better start correcting our own churches and fast too .

 

[frienden thalord]

Leaven is a like a snow ball
the longer it rolls the BIGGER IT GETS and the faster it moves too . CORRECT THE CHURCHES or step down and let others
do what you so called leaders HAVE FAILED TO DO .

Okay . okay .
but do remember something . WHEN SIN is ignored within the churches
IT dont just go away , LEAVEN GROWS .
TIME to make biblical correction great again . I sure hope this encourages ya .
And if that dont
maybe this will .
YOU shall not HATE your neighbor in your heart , you shall in any way correct them and not allow SIN upon them .

Agreed. We better correct this stuff, as true love shows correction to others.

 

[frienden thalord]

Ps , by grace some of us do read our bible . by grace i have done so for hours every day
for over eighteen years . THIS GEN is in dire trouble as are most of the churches .
SO on that note let me say this , TIME to make bible reading GREAT AGAIN in them churches .

 

[frienden thalord]

Agreed. We better correct this stuff, as true love shows correction to others.

YOU bet it does . GOD loves us and HE corrects us .
We love , then we correct too .

 

[frienden thalord]

Though the more we love the less we be loved .


and now a word . paul who truly did love the church
corrected the church .
and even though the more abudantely he did love the less he was loved .
CAUSE his love came with correction . and often the flesh resists this type of love .
But , if we love we do correct . NOW HIT the trenches ALEX , this be a war for the souls of men
and believe you me , satan knows HOW TO LIE , how to preach a false love too .

 

[AlexB23]

YOU bet it does . GOD loves us and HE corrects us .
We love , then we correct too .

Yep.

As stated here, even congregations should rebuke worldly stuff:

but notice what hate does .
YOU shall not hate your neighbor in your heart , you shall in any way CORRECT Him and not ALLOW sin upon him .
satan is super slick my friend . YOU SEE he has many believing it is hateful , it is judgmental to correct sins
and that its LOVING and TOLERANT to overlook and even accept the sins . HE is slick my friend .
But the lambs WILL not HEED HIM or his men . TO the trenches alex , this is an all out war for the souls of men
and in this last hour they have brought a trogan horse within christendom
that was full of men who preached lies and leaven will take over many a place .

correct , even regular brethren are to correct . to not even eat with those who call themselves brethren if one be a ..................
Brethren were supposed to look out for one another .
AS GOD looks out for us all . and by HIS SPIRIT we would have corrected as well .
Only i sees me a huge problem alex .
Many men have NOT the SPIRIT of CHRIST at all . and paul warned about that too .
The problem is This agenda , this agenda to take captive the entire world as one to a lie
IT DIDNT JUST infiltrate media , or education , or the public square
IT INFILTRATED many houses within christendom itself . and folks act as though this cannot happen .
You want to know what the problem is , TOO MANY T RUST IN THEIR OWN LEADERS
as though they GOD HIMSELF , thinking to themselves , NO WAY CAN MY SYSTEM
or my MEN be decieved . NO MAN IS INFALLIBLE ALEX , that do include LEADERS . NO MAN .
we should have learned to trust IN GOD alone , learned HIS WORDS , HIS TEACHINGS .
cursed is the man whose hope and trust is in men
but BLESSED is the man whose hope and trust be IN GOD . NO MAN is infallible .
NOT ME , NOT ANY . we should have learned them scrips well for ousrselves too . I am so terrified
for so many souls right now . I dont desire the death of any , i desire good for all
but i am warning us all a HEAVY DELUSION has SPRUNG from within EVEN CHRISTENDOM itself .
a MASSIVE falling away is OCCURNG BIG TIME RIGHT NOW , only most think is love and is of GOD . IT AINT .

Love that last line. Without getting into details, we have a member of our extended family that has done horrible wrongs to many people, and my wife has a hard time forgiving her. I, on the other hand, have no problem forgiving her. However, my forgiveness is not coupled with "forgetting". As I have said for decades, you can forgive a lion for eating one of your children, but you are stupid if you continue to allow it to play around your other children. It was just its nature.

This is why I'm a huge fan of locking up violent felons for life. It's not about punishment, retribution, getting even, etc. It's about protecting the rest of us from them. Like the lion, it is their nature. Heck, I believe Ted Bundy became a Christian in his latter years before he was executed, and many argue he took his "special talent" to Florida BECAUSE they execute people for that - which they did.

i.e. it is quite possible Ted Bundy received the free gift of eternal life. And I'm sure there would be some fascinating conversations in heaven's cafeteria over coffee between him and the women that he killed, as well as their parents and family.

I believe we are all here to learn - via the easy, or hard way. Life is, after all, a mist. Eternity is, at the very least, twice as long.

Bible verse please because Jesus didn't do that. It's correcting them that has created so much hate in the world.
