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...

WHY I DO NOT CELEBRATE GAY PRI

* 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?

BEG AGAST GAY MARRIAGE DON'T MAKE YOU A HOMOPHOBE

Instead, to celebrate LGBT pri is to regnize and embrace a larger cultural I explaed  2011, “the legimizg of homosexualy as a perfectly normal alternative to heterosexualy also requir that all opposn to homosexual behavr mt be legimized.

“Whereas homosexualy was once nsired a pathologil disorr, om here on those who do not affirm homosexualy will be emed homophobic, perhaps themselv sufferg om a pathologil disorr. “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.
