Claims that display normalizes homosexuality

BRUSSELS (ChurchMilitant.com) - Brussels is getting backlash from Poland for flying a gay flag outside of the European Parliament.

On Thursday, a rainbow flag was hoisted up in front of the building for the first time in its history, marking "International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia."

Despite outcry from Polish conservatives, the European Union said, "Regrettably, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons in Europe are still subject to serious discrimination and maltreatment on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity."

Ryszard Legutko, co-chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, said in a letter to the European Parliament that Thursday's initiative displayed "just one lobby group."

He questioned why the Parliament would not promote other unofficial "international days" like those celebrating museums, beer or students.

Pray that Poland puts aside its differences with Hungary. If they ally with other Eastern European nations as a third way, part of European civilization can be saved.

I know the Good Lord is patient and full of mercy, but I can’t imagine He’ll let this perversion of His creation go on much longer.

What discrimination and maltreatment? Perverts are being worshipped in Europe over and above God himself. The only other group getting even more special treatment are Muslims.

All of us pursue intrinsic and unique trivia that grabs our interest. I have studied for 24 years, reading books of the Conquerors of New Spain. I underlined every reference to the word they used SODOMITES. The ancient city of Mexico City, Tenochitlan, of the Great Tenoch, was rift, and overrun with same sex extraction. Boys attracted to boys... When Cuantemoc hurled a stone that would be a mortal blow and killed his uncle Moctuzema, he used the word FAG, QUEER, in the Nahuatl language. Anthropologists keep asking WHERE DID THE MAYANS GO? And I firmly hold to a belief that they died out because their were not any adults procreating babies for human sacrificies, wars, and natural disasters. It REALLY is not a good idea to make homosexuality your FLAG.

And they don’t have a basic understanding of language. I’m not afraid of homosexuals, I pity them. Some I guess you could say homopitic. (New word)

I wonder when reading Daniel if Poland, Hungary or the Czech Rep. might be the three nations that give the A/C fits and he finally “plucks them out”?

Surreal how close we really are to all of this.

"Regrettably, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) persons in Europe are still subject to serious discrimination and maltreatment on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity."

First of all, it's not regrettable. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for people to reject certain abhorrent behaviors and the people who practice them.

Secondly, the statement isn't even true. Name any cases of "serious discrimination and maltreatment" of these perverts. And calling them "fags" doesn't really count, except under the Sticks and Stones Act of 2007.

I pray that Nigel Farage’s promise to the European Parliament a few days after the Brexit vote..a speech which he started by saying “well,you’re not laughing now”...that Britain won’t be the last country to bail out of the EU comes true.

Amen to that BG, may Almighty G-d bless, keep and defend Poland.

Eastern Europeans get it. Not a surprise.

The clock is winding down. The Tribulation and the Great Tribulation don’t seem to be too far off. Ezekiel 38 seems more likely each passing week or so.

I hope the EU enjoys the Antichrist.

On the Day of the Lord’s Return. Especially on those last two. He’s gonna sort that out rather dramatically.

Don't forget that the people who would be doing most of the "discrimination" are the ones they are letting in in droves - i.e. muslims.

Right now, if nations were buddies and people you want to hang out with, and I was the USA, Poland would be my best bud.

The UK is going out with a girlfriend that I can't stand, Canada is generally pretty cool, but can be an annoying spaz at times. I still like hanging out with Australia. Japan is cool, in fact, I'd like to hang out with my buddies Japan and Poland.

I have common interests with Germany, but he's generally a dick.
