Gettysburg is a small Pennsylvania town with a small school district, a small seminary, and a small college surrounded by apple orchards. It is best known for the most important battle of the American Civil War and the location of Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech. ...
Decline
It is hard to say exactly when or how, but this community, which was built around a seminary, a Bible college, and then a battle, slowly turned secular.
...While the ghost industry was on the rise and the Christmas nativity was in decline, the seminary was in a nosedive. The Gettysburg Seminary, built on Thaddeus Stevens's land, is now a rainbow-flying, trans-affirming school with an openly gay president. It trains up proud "pastors" who walk in pride parades through town every June, dancing, frolicking, and spreading "glitter blessings" over the blood-soaked land.
The high tourist season in Gettysburg is summer, of course, and during this time the town overflows with rainbow pride flags beginning sometime in early May, through much of July. The only tipping point from the rainbows is Halloween season, which comes early in Gettysburg just as Pride Month runs late. Halloween is the high season for ghost tours....
The Latest Thing
Last week, the Gettysburg School District held a public board meeting, in which hundreds of residents stood up and cheered their support for the hiring of a transgender tennis coach. This man, who for the past few years has worn a wig and called himself a woman, has a crowd of supporters who are threatening to sue the school board if they do not hire him.... At the board meeting, 29 people stood up for public comment. Twenty-seven of them spoke in support, with standing applause from the crowd.

Be rooted in Christ!
The South looses again in Gettysburg a second time. The rainbow carpet baggers one this round.
Tour the battlefield.
Skip the town.
They want to sue the school district if they don’t hire a transgender tennis coach? They are required to hire someone trans otherwise they broke the law?
Gburg town has gone WOKE!
A friend of mine owns a small shop in town. He told me once what he paid for rent. I was amazed how low it was for such an iconic town.
“”Tour the battlefield.””
Did that on our senior trip in 1954. Ask me what I remember!!! Some things I do remember from the age of 17 but not much from that trip - LOL. Would love to do it again!!
Gettysburg College has been extremely lefty for a very long time… So no surprises
Interesting, because it eas the South who overwhelmingly supported the Socalist Woodrow Wilson and Fdr.
One of my first cousins, (more like a brother) than a cousin became a full time professor at one of the major Pennsylvania universities.
He and his wife pulled the plug and escaped to Floriduh about 2 decades ago due to the liberalism controlling the state.
Every American should visit Gettysburg. Before you tour the battlefield, go to the museum and watch the film that explains the battle from beginning to end. To stand where President Lincoln stood when he gave the Gettysburg Address gave me chills.
That being said, something has gone very badly wrong when a male pastor in any demonination has a “husband”, and his flock has no problem with it.
How long before they tear the battlefield down and replace it with gay night clubs? Disgusting.
Exactly. Visited this summer. Nice updated museum. The refurbished 360 panorama is really neat. The driving tour is good.
Much improved since the last visit 20 years ago.
I would also recommend a visit to President Eisenhower's ranch. When I was there in 2010, access to the ranch was through the museum, which took visitors there with shuttle buses and provided guided tours. It's probably the same today.
Ohh and the description for the first photo claims that was actually the slogan at one of his rallies and the photo was taken there.
Visited Gettysburg and toured the Eisenhower place as a kid in the early 80’s. Very enjoyable.
If you like motorcycles, Battlefield HD is a good stop.
