If they are demanding such visibility and tolerance, aren’t they the intolerant ones??? Demanding respect is rarely, if ever, respected, it’s a 2 way street…At least that’s what I was always taught. Give it to get it.

And I didn't even really touch on the consequences if you don't go along (other than being labeled). Your business can/will be sued for not accommodating their deviant desires. You'll be charged with crimes for desecrating a "pride flag" (though no such punishment follows similar desecration of an American flag). You'll be refused the ability to opt your child out of the immoral indoctrination in school. As I said, it will be tyrannically forced upon you.

We need to call it what it is “straightphobia” or even more broadly, “normphobia”.

I hate the (mis)use of "phobe" and "phobia." No one is "afraid" of any of these things. The English language is being destroyed.

Right, but straight or norm phobia does seem to be a real thing! Fear of fitting in and becoming just another invisible soul…

That sounds similar to narcissism.

Yes the whole trans fad is essentially the 21st century manifestation of anorexia nervosa which is a narcissistic disorder.

The co-opting of Gods rainbow really angers me as does the declaration of June pride month. June used to be Bride month. They don’t just want to be left alone in their lifestyle. They want to destroy the natural order of things. It’s pure evil now.

The sin of Sodom was not its hypersexual nature but rather its arrogance and mistreatment of the poor, the widow, and the orphan. These "sidewall sins" were the result of their rejection of Yahweh and his will. Today is no different. I've heard the phrase my entire life that "judgment is coming to America if we don't turn." What most people do not understand is the fact that judgment is already here. Chaos has a stronghold all over this nation. We are led and ruled by degenerates that curse and mock Yahweh. In short, this nation is not a Psalm 1 nation, nor are its people reflective of the image of God that He created in Genesis 1:26-27.

This isn't the end because there is a promise that "if my people....will turn from their sin...and seek His face," judgment can be spared, otherwise, only a remnant shall remain...yet again!

Sodom was rife with sin. Yes, those you listed, but also sexual sin, as are enumerated in Ezek16:49-50: "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good." "Abomination" here likely refers sexual sin. Jude affirms this in writing, "Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire" (Jude 1:7). Their sexual sin cannot be discounted as a major factor in the reason for their destruction. That said, you are correct, it was not their only sin.

I was reading Ezekiel recently in the Orthodox Jewish Bible, and it is very fitting for this discussion. Ezekiel 16:49 "Hinei, this was the avon Sodom thy achot; ga’on (pride), over fullness of lechem, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her banot, neither did she strengthen the yad of the oni (poor) and evyon (needy)."

What we like to term "the original sin of the satan," pride, is that which appears to always rise up to Yahweh. The pride of Babylon. The pride of Assyria. The pride of Nebuchadnezzar. The pride of...

Not that it is the only sin that rises up before Him, it just appears to do so more than any others except maybe the blood of the innocent, which kinda falls under that umbrella already.

It’s insane to know that military has 3 completely separate days a year to celebrate/honor. Yet, there’s more days than most get vacation and sick time to celebrate a group.

They’re obviously really proud of their sexuality, why do they need so many days to celebrate and honor it? Because the government panders to pansies to get votes. That can be seen by how many courts go against our protected amendments because a handful of private small businesses refuse to serve LGBTQ+ based on their religious beliefs.

Bravo Chad! It IS tyranny, and I had no idea the number of months (3!) and days (26!) now dedicated to shoring up this sexual-identity insecurity (can we dare say “straight phobia”?).

I was just thinking of this last night, how come Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are single days but gay pride is a whole month!?!

“Love is love” always gets me as a twisted truism, kind of like saying water is wet but implying it’s all good which is cruel to the parent who just had a child drown… As you say they’re really glorifying lust (by conflating it with love) but what if I actually love something that you despise - such as rape, mutilation and cannibalism? Am I still all good (and included) under the umbrella of love?

I say if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em which means June should be “Pride Month” period. Meaning everyone gets to fly their flag for whatever thing they are proud of - their religion, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, occupation, favorite sport team, sport drink or sport bra… whatever, just saturate the next 30 days in personal celebrations of life’s abundance.

What nobody seems willing to address is HOW, WHEN, and by WHOM this whole degenerate system of beliefs originated.

John Money, PhD, conducted unspeakable experiments upon a pair of identical twin boys to "prove" that "gender assignment" was simply a social construct and malleable by raising one of the boys as a male and the other as a female.

Money also forced these children to engage in sexual activities while he "documented" his findings via photographs and the like.

One of the boys became drug-addicted and died (deliberately?) of an overdose. The other twin committed suicide.

Money was a deranged pervert and nobody is addressing what he did and why his "findings" were Mengele-tiered abuse of 2 innocent human beings. He is the author of this whole sick, twisted, perverted mess.

I do not suffer from "trans-phobia" - I don't fear trans people. I pity them their narcissism and self-absorption.

Excellent article, Chad. And you didn't mention how Hollywood has gone gaga over LGBTQ characters in every movie and show that comes out these days.

Thank you David. I thought about bringing up how they're (like the one Disney executive has been quoted as saying) trying to "queer" all the programming as much as possible. Just figured mentioning media being saturated with it was sufficient.
