TST 6/30/23 - Say It Don't Gay It

Pride is a feeling of satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, something that has literally nothing to do with sexual preferences. As Proverbs 13:10 says, “by pride comes nothing but strife.” What this means is that to be proud of something you did not accomplish or to be excessively proud and arrogant of what you have accomplished is to be in danger of destruction like Lucifer, Eve, the Tower of Babel, and Sodom and Gomorrah. Likewise, word “gay” still means carefree, foolish, and stupid. To be “gay” is therefore to be prideful and in danger of falling, something that has little to do with sexuality. From Seattle and Minneapolis to Toronto and New York City this week we witnessed once again the proof of this arrogance. Naked men on bicycle, nude women, and pot-bellied perverts shaking their junk in front of kids went viral everywhere, along with a chant that, even if ironic, was just disgusting: “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.” Supposedly this represents all of the rainbow family now, a grouping of people cut out of the normal fabric of society not by bigotry but by false notions of equality. The stereotype of a groomed, well-dressed, organized gay man is not longer viable. The assumption is now that all people with rainbow flags act in these lewd and lascivious ways. It’s like saying women are not people because they aren’t included in the world “mankind,” though they are, or that in order for black folks to be free of bondage they have to rely on white people to grant it by apology. Why can a drag queen not just read to a child in respectable clothing? Why does a pride parade need nudity?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
