LGBT History Month: From Marginalization to Domination | IFA

How many months out of the year need to be focused on you before you’re no longer “marginalized”? October has been dubbed (by some, including Democratic Presidents Obama and Biden) “LGBT History Month.” This is the third full month devoted to all things LGBTQIA+++++. June, of course, is “Pride Month”, and March is “Bisexual Health Awareness Month.”

Connect with others in your state in prayer.

 

One single official “Gay Pride Day” on June 22, 1975, in Washington D.C. has metastasized into a colossal calendar whose growth knows no bounds. It’s activism also has no use for the truth.

So called marginalization has turned into domination.

The LGBT etc. movement is funded to the tune of nearly $1 billion a year. This is exponentially amplified by the fierce allyship and biased advocacy of news media, corporate America, professional sports and the entertainment industry. The entire Democratic Party leadership bows to it as well as a handful of Republicans. Churches with little to no Bible-orientation have also joined the cult-like bandwagon.

Need attention?

But somehow, 92 days (March, June, October) aren’t enough devotion to LGBT ideology. (Watch my video about this here.) There are another 45 days of individually recognized observances! This makes a grand total of 137 days out of the year dedicated to homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, transgenderism, and constantly emerging new “sexualities.” No other people group, including minorities, receives the same attention. Black Americans have a little over 60 days. Jewish Americans have one officially recognized month. Irish Americans have a month, too.

I’m waiting for National Furries Day to be added to the LGBT calendar. Last year, woke toymaker, Lego, included drag queens and furries in their “Pride Month” celebration. They made the connection. When will species-orientation be built into the ever-expanding acronym of inclusivity? In an article entitled “What is Furry Sex” on the medically dubious WebMD site: “Just over 20% of furries say they are exclusively heterosexual and about 10% identify as exclusively homosexual. The rest fall somewhere in between or elsewhere on the sexual spectrum.”

Anything goes?

But there are plenty of days devoted to an ever-widening spectrum. Here is just a short list of some of the observances:

  • Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (Feb 21).
  • International Transgender Day of Visibility (March 31).
  • International Asexuality Day (April 6).
  • Nonbinary Parents Day (April 18).
  • International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (May 17).
  • Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day (May 24).
  • Queer Youth of Faith Day (June 30).

One of the days that strikes me as a bit funny is Gay Uncles Day. There’s no Lesbian Aunts Day! Somehow, within 137 days of a 365-day calendar, there’s not enough room to be inclusive of lesbian aunts? Oh, and there’s International Pronouns Day, you know, because the movement has literally weaponized these parts of speech, when used accurately, to be “hate speech”.

Here’s the thing. LGBT requires that you accept all the acronym’s worldview, or you’re branded as whatever-phobic. Thankfully, people are seeing past the mirage of glitter and co-opted rainbows. The targeting of our children in our nation’s public schools has awakened many parents and students alike. People are tired of every facet of life being sexualized and confused men who co-opt womanhood being glorified. Despite the failure of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson to simply define what a woman is, sex is binary. It’s the refusal of this simple and liberating truth that has led to a lengthy string of calendar days of biological denialism.

What is love?

We should always treat fellow humans with compassion. There is an ugly past of homosexuals being horrifically and violented mistreated. That’s reprehensible and unacceptable. But LGBT activists, often acting out in horrifically violent ways today (herehere, and here), are proving what happens when power shifts.

I’ll always love every human being, but not every human doing.

Refusing to distinguish between the two fails individuals who are hurting and in need of truth. People struggling with reality don’t need hucksters with rainbow-branded paraphernalia pretending that confusion and pain have no origin or moral remedy.

It’s why criminalizing counseling that only affirms all things LGBT is not only a violation of the First Amendment but a violation of human decency. People’s whose emotions are at odds with their DNA need less activism and more factivism. I hope the Supreme Court rules in favor of free speech and common sense in the Colorado case, Chiles vs. Salazer, where counselors’ speech is being dictated by the government.

We’re told by the vast majority of mainstream media that “conversion therapy” (aka a counselor speaking freely about the struggles of the client) is “harmful to minors.” These are the same folks who celebrate dangerous carcinogenic puberty blockers and body-mutilating surgeries that result in radical body alterations and amputations. It’s why the American College of Pediatricians warns against these radical interventions and ideologies being foisted upon children.

Christians, especially, should reject the rhetoric of confusion. We serve a God who offers the ultimate conversion therapy to each and every one of us — His Son, Jesus. He promises us in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that His love transitions us from old to new creations. That’s the only “trans” that we should celebrate.

These 137 days don’t happen in a vacuum. They are legislated, made into policy in the workplace, sold in the marketplace, brandished in courts and forced into classroom curriculum without parental say. It’s time to start cleaning up our national calendar and doing what enables individuals to be whole. That’s when society flourishes. And that all starts with objective truth.

As June arrives once more, so does Pride month. Veterans have a day. Martin Luther King Jr. has a day. The Pilgrim Fathers have a long weekend. The LGBTQ community has an entire month. 

How a society marks time reflects what it thinks is important. And the 30-day allowance given to Pride is no exception. It is clearly considered very important indeed—30 times more so than MLK, although this does make somewhat implausible the claim that the LGBTQ community is somehow marginalized. English ex-pats like myself don’t even have a lunch hour dedicated to our contribution to the USA, though we did give America the ideas contained in the Magna Carta, the accent for myriad Hollywood villains, and Davy Jones of The Monkees. We are the marginalized ones, it seems. 

But seriously, Pride month has become over the years a reminder to many Christians that we are strangers in an increasingly strange land. Values such as sexual continence, public modesty, and the need to protect children from garish displays of promiscuity have been in short supply for many years, and Pride month exemplifies that. 

Yet there does seem to have been a shift. Three years ago, I was in Toronto in June. The Pride flag was everywhere, far more visible than that of Canada itself. The same was true when a week or two later I walked through Philadelphia. Any visitor from another planet could have been forgiven for thinking it was the values of the LGBTQ community that provided the unifying principle of the culture, not some shared national narrative. And yet in the two years since, the month’s sexual radicalism seems to have become much more muted. 

One reason is likely the fact that the T, the trans issue, was always a step too far. It flew in the face of common sense, and it intruded into everyone’s lives in ways that gay marriage did not. The experiences of Target and Budweiser revealed the public relations problem. People who had no objection to two men living together in a sexual relationship might still have very strong opinions about their daughter’s privacy being compromised, sports being reduced to nonsense by third-rate male swimmers defeating top female competitors, and male rapists being allowed in women’s prisons like children given a free-hand in the candy store. Add to that the way in which the issue has been used to attack parental rights, and the presence of the T in the Pride alliance became a terrible public relations liability. 
Gay marriage did not destroy the world as we know it, but it did not do so because marriage had been destroyed long ago with the advent of no-fault divorce.

Whether the trend of Pride month being more low-key and less ubiquitous continues remains to be seen. We can only hope that it does so. But as Christians we must also ask whether some of this is due to developments that are less encouraging than a dose of sanity on the trans issue. It may well be that the sound and fury is dying down because so much of that which it was intended to achieve has been internalized by our culture.

Gay marriage did not destroy the world as we know it, but it did not do so because marriage had been destroyed long ago with the advent of no-fault divorce. That turned the institution into a sentimental bond, not a relationship designed for both companionship and procreation. It downgraded children, making them peripheral to any normative understanding of the marital union. And that made the necessarily sterile notion of gay marriage entirely plausible. It also reinforced the acceptability, even desirability, of IVF and surrogacy. All of these things are now normalized, and all raise very serious challenges for Christians.

As we head into Pride month, we can hope this year will continue the trend of the whole thing becoming more low-key. A less pornified public square benefits us all. But if it does so, it would be premature to assume that this is unmitigated good news. It might simply indicate that so much of Pride’s ambitions have become an intuitive part of our culture and that orthodox Christian attitudes are even more outlandish than they were before.

10 Really Gay Things You Can Do To Celebrate Pride Month | Babylon Bee

It’s that time of year again, when the rainbows are flying everywhere you look, and super gay things are happening in more places than just Dodgers games. But what can you do to show your support?

The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list to help you find really, really gay things you can do as part of Pride Month:


  1. Ride a bicycle: One of the gayest things you could possibly do.
  2. Own a cat: Since owning dogs is a sign of heterosexuality, doing the opposite will show that you’re an ally.
  3. Hug a male friend: There’s only one reason two guys would be hugging.
  4. Express your emotions: Yes, it’s disgusting, but totally worth doing during Pride Month.
  5. Binge-watch The Acolyte: The only thing in the Star Wars universe less masculine than C-3PO.
  6. Chant “Free Palestine!”: All the cool gays are doing it.
  7. Play soccer: Since it’s not Dallas Cowboys season, enjoy the favorite pastime of super gay people around the world.
  8. Call your friend by his first name: This marks a stark departure from the proper, straight practice of last names and derogatory nicknames only.
  9. Use an umbrella: Extra points if you skip and prance a little bit in the rain.
  10. Cry during any movie other than Field of Dreams: Deviating from the only acceptable film men can cry at is a sure sign of gayness.

Engage in any of the activities listed above, and you’ll fit right in with all the gays. What other totally gay things can someone do to celebrate Pride Month? Post your ideas in the comments.

In Surprise Move Google Cuts Pride Month from Calendar App | The Gateway Pundit

Did anyone see this coming? Google is dropping Pride Month from its calendar.

For several years now, a slew of multinational corporations have spent the month of June making communal proclamations of Pride month everywhere.

“Woke” companies – from YouTube and Mercedes-Benz to Lenovo, Nestle and Sephora – updated their logos as June began.

Yet, these corporations are only force-feeding Americans and Europeans their pansexual, non-binary, transgender propaganda. Pandering businesses are careful not to promote their “pride” to Muslim countries.

Google led this movement for the past several years. And, for the record, Google did not include Pride month in Turkey and China. That was a bridge too far.

But now that is all going to change. The Google calendar app has stopped mentioning various cultural events like Pride Month, Women’s History Month, and Black History Month.

Users are accusing Google of bowing to the right-wing pressure campaign in the country today. They blame Trump.

According to the Kenya Times, Google Spokesperson Madison Cushman Veld, while confirming the changes, stated that Google reached the decision after it found it difficult to maintain observance of these events across different countries.

So, no more Pride Month from Google. Did anyone see this coming?
