I Fought for Gay Rights — But Trans Activists Have Destroyed the Meaning of Pride
New York Post ^ | June 1, 2023 | Bruce Bawer

I’m old enough to have been active in gay rights when you could be arrested in some American jurisdictions for a kiss.

Back then, a rainbow flag outside a bar or other establishment meant you could walk in without being kicked out — or worse. Flying it was a risk — and an act of humanity.

Then gay rights emerged, and Pride marches — i.e., earnest demonstrations for equality — morphed into Pride parades — i.e., silly displays. Pride Month was born, complete with corporate sponsors.

Thanks for posting, I always liked this guy. Yes, he’s a homosexual, but he’s always seemed smart, and fair minded, really a classical liberal. He sees that the denial of TRUTH is at the bottom of this rot.

Due to his encouragement, I’ll keep up my Bud boycott.

Hey Bruce! This PBR’s for you! Good article!

from the article:

“corporate sponsors”

That is what is called a clue—this is top down cram down—perverts all the way down...

Pride: Unreasonable and inordinate self-esteem (personified as one of the deadly sins)

At all times, I MUST know about other people’s sexual behaviors.

Also, if anybody knows where this “community” is located, please post the area so I can try to avoid visiting it.

Don’t disagree with you morally, ethically & religiously. But when you are trying to cobble together a political majority to prevent wackos from controlling everything. The guy at least agrees with us

I happen to have a lesbian couple as neighbors. They’ve lived across the street from me for over 15 years. Quite honestly they’re about the best neighbors I’ve ever had. They’ve raised 2 straight daughters, now in their 20s, and both are getting married (to men) in the next two years.

We have drinks together from time to to time, watch each other’s houses when we go on vacation, normal neighbor stuff. Truth be told I’d take another dozen couples just like them on our block in a heartbeat.

They’re just as baffled by all this lunacy as we are. And folks here would be shocked to find out just how “conservative” the two of them are. They’ve got a couple of guns and have gone to the range with us for a few pointers. They’re Trump supporters, believe it or not.

I’m not ashamed in the least to say that If anyone tried to harm them they’d have to deal with me first.

Mans Pride

Angels Pride

Lucifers Pride made him fall. Even lost his name.

You shared a personal story, so I’ll ask you a personal question - Are you a Christian?

If so, have you ever mentioned Jesus or The Bible to your lesbian friends? Or is it just sharing drinks and jokes as you mentioned?

I’m reading this last few weeks some stories of the “LGB” not so happy with the “T” + xyz. May the break up be violent and quick.

“ so I’ll ask you a personal question - Are you a Christian?”

A pretty crappy one, but yes.

“ If so, have you ever mentioned Jesus or The Bible to your lesbian friends?”

Haven’t needed to. One of them is Catholic and has her Rosary beads within reach most of the time.

Any more questions?

They are. Like I said, we’d happily take a dozen more just like them. Hell, they’re already way better than more than just a few we’ve had.

Ok thanks. So you’ve never brought up the Bible to them, much less the Lord’s condemnation of homosexuality.

So do you know, do they attend a local church? And do you believe the Catholic, or any Christian-based church, should support their homosexual union, that they themselves refuse to reject, or ask repentance for?

Are you concerned for their salvation?

Give it a rest, will ya?

Their salvation ain’t up to the likes of me. And it ain’t up to you, either.

Now why don’t you attend to the mote in your own eye before you worry about the beam in mine?

Thanks in advance.
