New in PJ Media:
After fifty years of leftist dominance and indoctrination in the schools, this really doesn’t come as a surprise, but it’s a good indication of where we are as a culture: it is now more socially acceptable and easier overall for students to declare that they are homosexual than it is for them to reveal that they’re Christian.
This news comes from Northern Ireland, but it doesn’t take more than a nanosecond or two of observation to realize that this is by no means a Northern Irish problem: the results would be the same all over the Western world, including, or maybe especially, in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
The Christian Post reported Monday that “in schools across Northern Ireland, students are finding it more challenging to reveal their Christian faith than their sexual orientation, according to testimony provided during an ongoing inquiry into Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE) at Stormont.”
Providing that testimony was David Smyth, “a representative of the Evangelical Alliance Northern Ireland.” He said that some schoolchildren find it “much more difficult now to come out as an Evangelical Christian in school than it is to come out as LGBT,” and that’s perfectly understandable.
After all, Northern Ireland has Pride Month as much as we do here in the United States. The Belfast Pride Festival announces proudly (could it possibly have done so any other way?) that it is “one of the biggest festivals in Belfast with over 150 events across 10 days….In 2023, we had over 75,000 people attend.” Now: when is Christian Month in Northern Ireland? How many people attend that? It’s clear which one is celebrated in contemporary Western popular culture, and which is not.
The Belfast Pride Festival’s home page includes a photo of a couple of young boys with rainbow flags tied around their shoulders and rainbow paint on their faces. Neither of them looks all that gay, as in happy, but the purple-haired woman, or whatever, standing behind them (their mother?) smirks defiantly at the camera as she clutches her “I Am Who I Say I Am” sign, which Amnesty International helpfully supplied.
If that woman (or whatever she may inform us that she is) is indeed the mother of these boys, there is little doubt that she received nothing but positive feedback at the pride event she was attending where this picture was taken. She is swimming with the tide of the culture, and is likely to have been showered with plaudits and congratulations for her “courage” in decking her wee lads (this is Belfast, after all) out in gay garb and parading them around to show her pride in being whatever she thinks she is.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Sodom and Gomorrah was inhabited by too many citizens who embracded the slow destruction of their society, following their carnal appetites to the last hour. Their response to a clean living stranger was an invitation to debauchery rather than a twitch of conscience.
Now the land of “The Troubles” and the Church Of England is following its carnal appetites out of the religious morals it so poudly displayed as it once drummed its way through Catholic neighborhoods. But wait! There is a corrective device growing within its body, born in the desert, holding fast to its own religious principles, and eventually answering challenges to its moral authority with conquest.
As spoken by that famous freckled, grinning icon: “What, me worry?”

Actually, there has been friction b/w the gay and trans communities. There are gay men who are not willing to partner w/ trans-men, b’cos they know that they are women. And lesbians who refuse to partner w/ trans-women. Now that the Democrat party has broken out into a mini civil war, it’ll be fascinating to see which of these 2 gets the upper hand in hoisting the LGBTQIA2SMAP+ banner – 🏳🌈 or 🏳⚧? 😈

Somewhere over the Rainbow is Judy Garland and Kermit the frog singing about rainbows:the rainbow connection.mahna mahna
somehistory says
The rainbow in the Bible was not in the clouds after the destruction of the homosexual enclaves of sodom and gomorrah.
The rainbow first appeared after the end of the Flood in Noah’s day. It was a promise that there would never be another flood like that one.
But the homosexuals and their alphabet partners don’t care one bit for Truth. Using the rainbow colors as if they are some kind of talisman that will protect them from suffering Judgment for their perversion, is arrogant, stupid and disrespectful.
“God is not One to be mocked, for whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap.” The rainbow won’t save them from Judgment.
Revelation says that the wicked, the evil…the ones who go against what is right…will seek rocks to cover themselves before the “wrath of the Lamb.” But, not even rocks will save those whom God Judges to be evil.
This world of mankind so corrupt, is making it hard for young, and some old, people to stand up for what they believe is right.

So It’s Come to This: It’s Easier for Students to Come Out as Gay Than Christian
…………………………
Not surprised…
James Lincoln says
So, what is a gay Christian supposed to do?
What do they “come out” as?
Westpacwill says
A person can have any of a variety of sexual deviation disorders (nothing “gay” about mental illness, but the word “gay” has been appropriated and abused) and deserve nothing but sorrow and prayer that they will be freed from the condition by the grace of God. Homosexuality is an “abomination” in the eyes of the Lord, which the progressive church has edited out, inviting a harsh judgement on themselves, assuring people of their salvation all the way to hell.
But that tragic condition is just another sin, like heterosexual lust, that must be resisted and denied, a hard cross to bear through a lifetime. But God does not allow anyone to be tempted beyond their ability to just say no. Choose this day who you will serve — God or the World, to be saved by grace, or to be gay. It cannot be both..

Westpacwill,
Thank you for your reply.
