As I’ve been bombarded daily with messages of diversity and inclusion about all things “woke”, I took particular note of LGBTQLMNOP month and realized that is no longer about tolerance and denouncing discrimination or violence towards the homosexual community but now it is a full on press to force acceptance, normalization, and approval of their lifestyle and anyone who doesn’t share their view or lifestyle is a bigot and homophobe.
Scripture is very clear on this topic. Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
However, we are also not to judge others (except for those in the church, which is where church discipline comes from) because we know that but for the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we would be lost and wallowing in sin like many others, including homosexuals.
I refuse to call them gay, as that is a term that has crept into the culture to normalize their behavior. I refuse to call their behavior normal as it is an abomination to the Lord. I believe in their right to be safe from violence and persecution but I will not forsake the Lord and condone their behavior.
Homosexuals represent 3-5% of the population but to see how they are represented in the main stream media you would think they are 30-40% of the population.
Once again, the “tolerant” left leaves no tolerance for any view other than the one they want to force on others. I don’t and I won’t make forced public statements of support for a lifestyle my faith tells me is abominable to the Lord and I don’t appreciate the mass propaganda telling me to do so.
And for the record, I don’t fear homosexuality. It’s another tool of the left to stigmatize those that disagree with them.
