WHY I DO NOT CELEBRATE GAY PRI
Why shouldn’t all of celebrate gay (or, LGBT) pri? For me, there are three major reasons, and none of them have anythg to do wh hatred or fear... * i don't agree with gay pride *
A I unrstand their all, no matter how Christian I claim to be, if I tell a gay uple I do not believe they are tly married God’s sight, that feels like hatred to I tell a woman who intifi as a man that I still believe she is a woman, that feels like hatred to their perspective, I n unrstand how unchristian my posn seems, how bigoted, how biased, how all, they would be quick to pot out, there are gay parents who are more voted to their kids than some straight are transgenr men and women who are kd, gentle, rg are people all across the LGBT spectm who help the poor, who re for the opprsed, who love the lovels, who are outstandg boss or employe or iends or shouldn’t all of celebrate gay (or, LGBT) pri?
The very fact that we’ve gone om G (as gay) to LG, to LGB, to LGBT, to LGBTQ, to LGBTQI to LGBTQIP (and beyond) dit that the are hardly fixed, to zero on the letter B, why should I celebrate someone who is attracted to both mal and femal?

“Whereas gay sexual behavr was once nsired morally wrong, om here on public nmnatn – or even public cricism – of that behavr will be nsired morally wrong. It’s about a larger those reasons, I do not celebrate gay pri, even though mak be a hateful bigot the ey of many LGBT people and their sadns me, but that don’t change my remas jt another month on my lendar. I am tired of everybody beg labeled a bigot or homophobic bee they don't agree wh the lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr group.
This sentence is typilly ed after someone do somethg that fs to the typil stereotype of what a gay person is “supposed” to do. And the reason ’s a whole month is bee we are at the fiftieth anniversary of the New York Stonewall Rts of 1969, when gays, lbians, drag queens and others fought back agast ps who kept bargg to gay bars and harassg the clientele.
It’s no longer enough to leave homosexuals alone to live however they choose and to flict on them no persecutn or discrimatn or any ill-will whatsoever on the basis of their sexualy, which is absolutely the right thg for a civilised liberal society to do. Today isn’t homosexuals who are persecuted; ’s their crics, whether ’s Ann Widbe or Tim Farron, wh their well-known aversn to gay rompg, or those Mlim parents Birmgham who don’t thk six-year-old Muhammad needs to know that some men sleep wh men.
