Embracing The Radical Fringe

Yesterday, June 1st, was the beginning of LGBTQ “Pride Month.” Pride flags are sprouting up everywhere, including at some churches that have gone off the rails. 

I’m putting up my pride flag today. You can see it here. That’s the only pride flag I’m flying this month!

Meanwhile, the focus on LGBTQ Pride Month is largely on the “T” in that group, and the controversies are intensifying. Fashion magazine Glamour decided to put a “pregnant man” on its June cover. 

Former Vice President Mike Pence blasted the Los Angeles Dodgers this week. Pence said:

“The Dodgers’ decision to invite the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a hateful group that blatantly mocks Catholicism, . . . is deeply offensive. . . The MLB should not be apologizing to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, they should be apologizing to Catholics across America.”

Recently I’ve noticed a narrative emerging that suggests the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are just a fringe group and an embarrassment to the larger gay rights movement. I totally reject that analysis. Their bigotry is not just a fringe view. 

Don’t forget that the Dodgers initially backed down and disinvited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from their “Pride celebration.” But under pressure from so-called “mainstream” gay rights groups, the Dodgers reversed course and even apologized to the perpetual anti-Catholic bigots.

The fact that any so-called “mainstream gay rights group” would want to be associated with and defend such an outrageous anti-Christian group tells you everything you need to know!

The militant homosexual rights movement is constantly at war with religious liberty and normalcy. It absurdly equates opposition to same-sex marriage with racism. 

The “mainstream” organizations that speak for the LGBTQ movement, along with allies like the ACLU and SPLC, are in the middle of a well-financed, aggressive effort to eliminate the religious rights of millions of Americans. 

This movement has deliberately ruined the lives of many Christians (here, here and here) simply because they are true to their faith. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence aren’t filing these lawsuits. 

They are being filed by the “mainstream groups” demanding that Christians participate in same-sex weddings. These “mainstream groups” are also demanding that our children in public schools and public libraries be exposed to obscene materials and bizarre ideas about gender. 

This movement is trying to criminalize biblical morality. It is trying to make Judeo-Christian values unspeakable as “hate speech,” while imposing its values on the rest of us.
