Pride Month post #16

[aadler]

Smaller thoughts in passing:

The rainbow used to be God’s sign of hope to the world. It’s been hijacked to stand for homosexuality/transgenderism. The original symbolism no longer exists, through outright theft.

Similarly, the word “gay” once served to denote a particular lightheartedness of mood and attitude. There was no other word in the English language that communicated the same sense. That’s gone. Now it just means homosexual/homosexuality, and there were already plenty of words for that. Huge loss for no gain.

In all the manufactured enthusiasm for ‘Pride Month’, has no one noted that pride used to be considered one of the Seven Deadly Sins?

Tolerance used to mean accepting something even if you didn’t necessarily like it very much. (I tolerate cole slaw. I don’t ‘tolerate’ ribeye steak, I love ribeye steak. See how that works?) Now you’re condemned as intolerant if you don’t agree, support, and actively promulgate the things you’re ordered to find acceptable. Which doesn’t sound particularly tolerant.

It took fifty years for Roe v. Wade to be overturned. Maybe — maybe, please God — we can do better than that, and sooner, for Obergefell v. Hodges.
