I never read of Christian militias even existing, never mind killing Muslims. I suppose
it's possible, but then, they wouldn't be considered Christian by the mainstream Christian religions. The IRA and Mafia members are excommunicated from
the Catholic Church, per Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis.

Fair enough. There are also plenty of Muslims who renounce Boko Haram in Nigeria, and argue that Islam's true nature is peace. I won't debate that specific point, but I agree that Christian militias are hardly Christian.

Because those who believe that gender is a social construct find out after they've gone through transitioning, that they have messed themselves up so bad that to detransition
is not only difficult, but often a disaster for them. The fact is, most gender dysphoria is of males and it's manifested at a very early age, like before they're five years of age. It's also known that 70% of them, if left alone will grow out of it. The few that do transition rarely find themselves happy, even after they've gone through the transition.
However, the problem currently is young girls seeking attention coming out as transgendered. With the help of their own parents, they begin taking puberty blockers and when they decide to transition into male, they are given hormones like testosterone and eventually some even make it to have their breast removed. There are influencers in social media telling them hour courageous they are in admitting that they're men in girls bodies and transitioning is their path to happiness. I won't burden you by telling you to read her book, but you can hear Abigail Shrier give a talk on her research here;

Thanks for the link. I'll try to follow it some time. But again, I'm really not arguing in favour of LGBT+ as a lifestyle choice, but their right to be free from fear. That's why I see the flag-flying as an act of solidarity, not an active promotion of a lifestyle choice. I get that you see it differently.

They are protected. However, what's happening today is that they're given preferential rights. It's illegal to do physical violence to them or persecute them in any way. However, the LGBTQ activists have been persecuting those who disagree with them, by getting them fired or bringing lawsuits against them. I will not be in solidarity with their political agendas, sorry.

They're protected in the US, and liberal democracies (though some far right countries in Europe, like Hungary, are trying to reverse these protections). And no one is asking you, personally, to support their political agendas. Just to understand why some governments (or embassies) show solidarity. With LGBT+, with people suffering gender based violence, with people suffering caste discrimination, or not enjoying freedom of religion. And the same reason they don't support mainstream issues which are uncontroversial.

Actually, LGBTQ and black activists have gotten professors fired from Universities for
not supporting their agendas.

Bret Weinstein and his wife were forced to resign from Evergreen State U, because
they opposed a program the administration came up with, that all white students
needed to stay home for a day while, blacks and people of color would attend classes.
This was discrimination at it's peak and when Bret Weinstein and his wife spoke out against it, radical leftists went to their classes and talks, yelling at them and shutting
them down. There were also riots to have them fired. They chose to resign instead.

In my dioceses, two activists claimed they were discriminated against when they tried to buy Church property that was for sale. They sued the dioceses and of course it made it into the front page of the newspapers. However, the dioceses had no idea who was trying to buy the property, as it was a real-estate agent handling the sale. Turns out, the two male activists, had no money to buy the property, but used the sale as a political stunt
to discredit the dioceses. They ended up dropping the lawsuit as they saw how they were going to lose.

In other areas of the nation, same-sex couples tried to sue ministers for refusing to marry them.

Average Americans are finally starting to push back and not accept LGBTQ nonsense.

You must know that's not the story with Weinstein. You must know that they deliberately reversed the "day of absence" for students of colour, for fear that the new administration would pursue policies that demonised them. You must know that white absence was requested but not mandatory. It was a simple statement of solidarity. You seem not to understand what that is.

I have no idea about the other things you mention. There will always be idiots and I have no doubt that there are idiots doing the sorts of things you mention.

They reversed it, I'm not denying that, but the student activists rioted calling them racist, demanding they be fired and they disrupted his classes and talks afterwards. They used loudspeakers and other means of disrupting his and his wife's classes and talks.

In order to bring clam, they took a leave of absence, but ultimately resigned.

These are the facts that he and his wife have stated.

They also presented the video's showing the activists disrupting their classes and talks.

What on earth are you talking about? They're flying the Pride flag to show solidarity with groups who are discriminated against. They do it globally. Other things they actively support: freedom of religion and belief; girls' education; media freedom; campaigns to tackle gender-based violence. Not all of these are popular in the countries in which embassies campaign, but they do it anyway, to show support for marginalised communities.

Well said! :)

Didnt God command LGBT to be put to death ? Leviticus 20:13

How do you know exactly what God commands?
And: Would you personally also demand that "LGBT" are put to death?
