Why I Do Not Celebrate Gay P***e
Posted Jun 08, 2019 by Michael L. Brown
If you ask my detractors, they would tell you that the reason I do not celebrate gay p***e is that I’m a bigot. A h**er. A homophobe. A t***sphobe.
And I understand their perspective.
After all, no matter how Christian I claim to be, if I tell a gay couple I do not believe they are truly married in God’s sight, that feels like hatred to them.
If I tell a woman who identifies as a man that I still believe she is a woman, that feels like hatred to her.
From their perspective, I can understand how unchristian my position seems, how bigoted, how biased, how primitive.
After all, they would be quick to point out, there are gay parents who are more dev**ed to their kids than some straight parents.
There are t*********r men and women who are kind, gentle, caring souls.
There are people all across the L**T spectrum who help the poor, who care for the oppressed, who love the loveless, who are outstanding bosses or employees or friends or neighbors.
Why shouldn’t all of us celebrate gay (or, L**T) p***e?
For me, there are three major reasons, and none of them have anything to do with hatred or fear.
First, I do not accept the categories of L**T as fixed and definite categories, worthy of special recognition.
Put another way, why should there be a special month to celebrate people based on their sexual desires and romantic attractions? Or based on their g****r identity perceptions?
The very fact that we’ve gone from G (as in gay) to LG, to LGB, to L**T, to L***Q, to L***QI to L***QIP (and beyond) indicates that these are hardly fixed categories.
Or, to zero in on the letter B, why should I celebrate someone who is attracted to both males and females? Why should I put them in a special category (like Hispanic or Asian or Black)?
If the person happens to a courageous firefighter, I’ll celebrate them for that. If the person happens to be a cancer survivor with an amazing story, I’ll celebrate them for that.
They are fellow human beings, and if they deserve honor or commendation, I’ll gladly give that to them. But I won’t celebrate their bisexuality. Why should I?
And that leads to my second point.
If I’m convinced that homosexual practice is contrary to God’s design, why should I celebrate it?
If I personally know people whose same-sex attractions were the result of childhood sexual abuse and rape, why should I celebrate those attractions?
If I’m convinced that, ideally, a child should have a mommy and a daddy (rather than two mommies or two daddies), why should I celebrate a family setting that willfully deprives that child of either their mother or father?
Do we celebrate single parent p***e? No, we say to those single parents, “It must be hard to raise your child on your own, but we’re standing with you to help.”
There’s quite a difference.
And why should I celebrate t*********r identity? What is there to celebrate?
Why should I celebrate putting a child on hormone blockers? Why should I celebrate a 17-year-old girl having her breasts removed? Why should I celebrate a lifelong regimen of hormones? Why should I celebrate something that causes so many people so much pain, even after “t***sitioning?”
If you asked me to stand with those who identify as t*********r and offer them support and compassion and hope, I would say, “Count me in.”
If you asked me to stand against their harassment and mistreatment, again I would say, “Count me in.”
But if you ask me to celebrate their t*********r identity (and all the challenges that come with it), I would have to politely decline.
Third, and finally, I do not celebrate L**T p***e because there is an agenda attached to it.
In other words, this is not just a matter of me appreciating L**T people as people, or recognizing their accomplishments for the sake of their accomplishments.
Instead, to celebrate L**T p***e is to recognize and embrace a larger cultural agenda.
As I explained in 2011, “the legitimizing of homosexuality as a perfectly normal alternative to heterosexuality also requires that all opposition to homosexual behavior must be delegitimized. At the very least, the gay agenda requires these three platforms (and let recognized gay leaders renounce this if it is not so).
“Whereas homosexuality was once considered a pathological disorder, from here on those who do not affirm homosexuality will be deemed h********c, perhaps themselves suffering from a pathological disorder.
“Whereas gay sexual behavior was once considered morally wrong, from here on public condemnation – or even public criticism – of that behavior will be considered morally wrong.
“Whereas identifying as t*********r was once considered a******l by society, causing one to be marginalized, from here on those who do not accept t*********rism will be considered a******l and will be marginalized.”
And remember, I wrote this in 2011. (In fact, I wrote this several years earlier, but these comments were not published until 2011.)
Again, from the L**T viewpoint, L**T p***e is all about coming out of the closet. It’s about saying, “We’re just as good and as gifted and as normal as anyone else, and rather than being ashamed of our L**T identity, we are proud of it. The days of being mistreated are over. That’s what L**T p***e is all about!”
Again, I understand these sentiments, and if it was a matter of caring for people as people, I’d march side by side with them.
But it’s not just that. It’s about creating new categories and foisting them on the society. It’s about celebrating something that should not be celebrated. It’s about a larger agenda.
For those reasons, I do not celebrate gay p***e, even though it makes be a h**eful bigot in the eyes of many L**T people and their allies.
That saddens me, but that doesn’t change my convictions.
June remains just another month on my calendar. It is not marked off for L**T p***e.

You know, it's quite amusing, in a sick sort of way, that the left is trying to "normalize" homosexuality, but viciously attack anyone, even their own, who tries to "normalize " our President.

It is not GAY, it is homosexual or sodomites. Gay is happy and care free, and has been stolen by the activists understanding that changing the meaning of a word can make remake reality. "A word shall mean what I want it to mean, nothing more nothing less".

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but happily, this particular opinion is going the way of the horse and carriage.

I suppose you realize a good number of words found in the 1611 KJV have switched meanings to their opposites? Language is one of the most changeable aspects of the human condition.

You are wrong! The Bible never changes! It will always be a sin! Just like adultery, fornication, etc! Satans lies are camouf**ge!

Yeah, the Bible never changes, but our interpretation of it does. There’s a lot of obsolete fluff in the Bible which has already been discarded.

Yes, people have reinterpreted the Bible to hold it to the socialist standards of a world that rejects God and refuses to believe that there is really a right and wrong and claims that all is relative. There is even a "gay" Bible, called Q***ring Christ", that claims that Jesus was a homosexual and that He had sex with his 12 apostles. There is a strong Marxist influence in the Liberation theology of the church Obama went to, among others.

You are correct, but I for one am glad I will not wind up in the same ultimate boat as those "interpreters and discarders" if they don't realize the wrong they've done and repent. Because of their lies they have convinced many that God's word is something that can be twisted or ignored - the same way they try to do with the Constitution. The difference is that God doesn't take kindly to people who prevent others from finding t***h. 2nd Peter, Chapter 2 tells us all we need to know about the topic. It's a good read.Yeah, the Bible never changes, but our interpretation of it does. There’s a lot of obsolete fluff in the Bible which has already been discarded.
