Well, yesterday in London just 40 years after the first 'Gay Pride' march of just 2000 people, it was estimated that 1 million folk marched in the Capital City. From all walks of life and all social institutions, political, military, etc, LGBT had their members marching. Some of course were mincing and mucking about, but make no mistake about it, despite its colourful effervescence, this was a march, which sill had great political purpose.
Peter Tatchel, activist, politician and writer remarked in the Guardian that "In the last 40 years, queer people have become more visible than ever before and most of the public are relaxed about same-sex relationships. All homophobic laws have been repealed, apart from the ban on same-sex civil marriage. Positive images of LGBT life abound on television. Politicians and entertainers are openly gay. The police are serious, at last, about tackling homophobic and transphobic hate crimes. Gayness is no longer classified as an illness.....At this pace of progress, homophobic prejudice and discrimination are doomed." Of course, he is correct and for that some congratulations regarding their achievement are needed.
Christianity of course, like a frightened puppy, is mostly quivering in its own pee regarding these massive political LGBT gains. (And they are!) Good grief even Sir Cliff Richard, UK Christendoms long leading light on celibate asexualism, has called on the Church of England to update its views on same-sex marriages, arguing that all judgements on sexuality should be left to God. "I think the Church must come round and see people as they are now. Gone are the days when we assumed loving relationships would be solely between men and women. It seems to me that commitment is the issue, and if anyone comes to me and says: 'This is my partner; we are committed to each other', then I don't care what their sexuality is. I'm not going to judge; I'll leave that to God."
The Gay Liberation Front rooted in America, and fruited in a few new forms over here, believed that "heterosexuality was a remnant of cultural inhibition and felt that change would not come about unless the current social institutions were dismantled and rebuilt without defined sexual roles. To do this the GLF was intent on transforming the idea of the biological family and clan and making it more akin to a loose affiliation of members without biological subtexts." You see, the overall view from the LGBT community is that they problem is totally with a homophobic society, so society needs purging of all homophobia. Again Peter Tatchel writes in the Guardian that "The police are serious, at last, about tackling homophobic and transphobic hate crimes." So make no mistake about this, Bible Believers, and proclaimers of Biblical truth, will be seen as societies homophobes who must be purged. The Police in the thorough application of so called homophobic hate crime law, will see to it that this is done. Yes watch out now, look, even Boris Johnson, the mayor of London and previous political supporter of Section 28 said "I am pleased to support our city's pride celebrations and proud of London's reputation as a place where you can be yourself..."From poet laureates to politicians and pop stars to rugby players, there's an increasing confidence to be open about your sexuality...."Nowhere is this more evident than in London, which is home to one of the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans communities in the world....."Everybody has the right to live their life as they wish, free from persecution and abuse, and my office is working with the community, the police and other partners to ensure that, irrespective of sexuality, all Londoners are able to participate fully in the life of the capital." Society has declared that Bible proclaimers are committing hate crimes and mark my words, the 'Rozzers' will be round....
So, what can we say to the current success story of the LGBT communities political agenda. Well, we have to say that they have mightily achieved their goals and congratulations are in order.
Or we can say this, that according to the Bible, 'success' of the GLF fruit and the GLBT community is nothing short of the terrible testimony concerning the Judgment of God upon us.
So, to the LGBT community I say "Congratulations." To the pee ridden puppy quivering in the corner I am sending a little girl to come and stroke you and say 'there, there, there..."and to the Nation as a whole, yes to great Britain long since dominished, I am send my deepest condolences, for God has deserted you and pronounced a calamitous judgement upon you.
Please accept my commiserations.
Rom 1:21-32 NKJV
21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,
30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
