They even put "Pride" is their titles , Gay Pride Watch, LGBT Pride, etc.
James 4:6 "God resisteth the proud but giveth grace unto the humble.

Well, as I'm sure you know pride can have a negative or positive connotation. Your scripture is the negative, and I'm not sure those 'titles' you refer to are. People are proud of be an American, Christian, etc. too. Those aren't meant as negative.

You seem to be assuming to much here I think.

So you never witness the negative effects of someone being proud to be an American , Christian, etc?

No one lives and dies to themselves , we impact others by the way we live.

That can very much be true, but they also can have zero effect on your life too. We have a gay couple that have lived down the road from us for over 20 years. They haven't impacted my life at all - nor any of my family. Neighbors have never said anything - so I assume they are up to zero impact as well.

Sadly, I think to many live in fear of some impact that they may have on them...and so you are always looking for it too.

I would say the gang members, and other criminals have a bigger impact on our lifes. Then we have a family down the road we call the 'loud' family, and that is nice label for them. Then we have a family behind us that have visits from the police pretty often.

The above are all straight, and so SURE we do impact others by the way we live. Yet, in most cases? Not so much.

So, you ignoring the point I was making? If not, why the diversion?

Those labels they used in their group names doesn't always mean something negative. You were assuming they were.

Not all gays are activist and some not proud of their lifestyle. Just because a person has zero impact in my life doesn't mean they have no impact on anyone.

Okay. I agree. I don't spend my life worrying about people that have no impact on me. I would rather deal with those that do. Although I'm sure I could think of exceptions at point too. I'm speaking generally.

More to the point of the thread - I feel the media was irresponsible with releasing information concerning his sisters. It has always been agreed upon in the past - with the media - that you do not release victim names, etc. Yet, since its the Duggar's I guess they feel they have a green light to do so. The original magazine could have made sure parts of the report that was released wasn't shown to protect them, and yet made the decision NOT too. Quite frankly, I figure it was because the story would be more juicy with it left in.

So while, both sides are yacking back and forth over this whole ordeal the sisters get re-victimized. What signal does this send to other victims that are told information would be kept private? It says - we will as long as we like your politics I guess.

That part has the big impact on everyone. Yet, everyone needs to ignore it because the media makes more money off the story when people fight.

Maybe Reelz will pick it up since they were willing to work with Trump's troubled Miss USA production.
