Pride Remains a Sin
American Thinker ^ | 29 Jun, 2025 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 06/29/2025 4:23:15 AM PDT by MtnClimber

As June comes to an end, so does the pagan festival of debauchery known as “Pride Month.” It has become an annual annoyance to find troupes of dancing gay men — usually semi-naked and engaging in various forms of erotic foreplay — overtaking public streets as the first warm days of summer return. It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” to those without a special letter designation — could enjoy their civil rights without resorting to X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers. Alas, the celebration of sin seems to be “Pride Month’s” chief purpose, which surely explains why its proponents chose one of the deadliest sins — pride — as its defining attribute.

Young people — who spend the first two decades of their lives in indoctrination mills posing as schools — often find it difficult to understand why people over the age of thirty recoil at the sight of lurid circuses of sexual deviancy. They were taught at an early age that fat, hairy men wearing lipstick and little else are civil rights heroes for flaunting their masturbatory excess in front of anyone who has the bad luck of stumbling upon one of their street shows while walking to nearby places of business. Democrat-controlled teachers’ unions believe it’s “virtuous” to have drag queens dressed as strippers twerking in front of kindergartners during “story time.” Democrat-controlled medical associations think it’s “scientific” to “trans” elementary school children by mutilating their bodies and sterilizing them for life. When all of the adults in positions of authority tell kids that this craziness is not only normal, but also something worth celebrating, young minds struggle to break free from their programming.

Sexual overindulgence and exploitation have defined the last thirty years.

Democrat congressman Jamie Raskin is right now excoriating the Supreme Court for ruling that parents can opt their children out of LGBTQ+ indoctrination in the classroom. Mainstream Democrats believe not only that America’s children belong to them, but also that those children must be fed a steady diet of “transgender” delusion and sexual fantasy.

I suspect his son's suicide may be related to realizing his parents were irredeemable God-less communist flakes. At least a factor.

Raskin himself is a medical miracle. He's the first to survive his brain being removed from the tumor by accident.

“Public” Education - where all taxpayers chip in so liberals can be paid to indoctrinate school children.

“Public” radio - where all taxpayers chip in so liberal radio
(NPR) can assist liberals with indoctrinating citizens.

“Public” TV - where all taxpayers support liberal 24/7 liberal broadcast.

“Public” transportation - where all citizens financially support reduced costs for transportation for democrat victim groups.

It’s liberal education, liberal radio, liberal TV and liberal transportation...

What if ‘Public transportation’ was ONLY ‘assisting hunters with assisting hunters to get to great places to hunt’?

And “Public’ TV was 24/7 conservative indoctrination supported by ALL taxpayers?

If so, would biased idiots running the MSM start calling all democrat ideas ‘controversial”?

That said, prayers for Jamie Raskin on the pain caused by the death of his son. No one ‘deserves’ that level of pain.

And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

You are far more gracious than I. Raskin wore his “recovery bandana” long after it was needed for the sympathy visual. He’s one of those true believer Fellow Travelers who’d gleefully see you loaded into the train car to the camps no one comes back from.

Enemy Domestic Mark One.

Young people — who spend the first two decades of their lives in indoctrination mills posing as schools.

To many fail to learn how to think for themselves they go with the flow is the only thing they know.

“It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” I just simplified it to myself and started calling them the Military Phonetic Alphabet people: ‘Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, etc. people.
