Five examples that LGBTQ activism is a religion   

2 days ago by Steve Berman   

Fifty years ago, gays had a genuine problem in American culture. Thirty-five years ago, the onset of AIDS did much to humanize a subculture that only existed in steamy bathhouses in New York and San Francisco. In the last twenty years, first with Bill Clinton’s DADT in the military moving on to Obergefell v. Hodges nearly two years ago, that struck down state laws against same-sex marriage, LGBT culture has achieved parity with the rest of America.

In fact, it’s no big deal these days if someone is gay. Ask any teenager or twenty-something and they’ll give you a verbal “so?” and body language indicating “meh.” It’s just not a huge social stigma anymore.

But the LGBT activist movement doesn’t want to end itself and declare a kind of victory that leads to purposelessness. They want to keep going and pushing against what they feel is derogatory, and they do it in a religious, pious fashion, pursuing doctrinal purity at the altar of their self-consuming sexual appetites.

So they have to find other stigmas to pursue, like bathroom rights for adult males in women’s locker rooms. Or even a celebrity saying something slightly off from the approved liturgy.

Here’s five recent examples of the LGBT religion in action, evangelizing, correcting, and recruiting converts.

#1: The Dodgers kiss cam

At a Dodgers game on June 9, they celebrated LBGT “Pride Night” at Dodger Stadium. On that night, the usual “Kiss Cam” activities were a tad more inclusive of the most salacious gay kisses they could find. And this was done, as many Christians saw it, to replace Christianity with a different religion.

Can you see what’s happening here? The Left is replacing Christianity with pagan concepts of “sexuality” that redefine the created norm. What was once widely regarded in the West as a “crime against nature” (Noah Webster’s definition of sodomy) is now celebrated as just another form of “love.” It began with that slippery term “sexual orientation,” but now that we’re in full LGBTQ “equality” mode, we will see more and more outward expressions of homosexuality, breaking down our natural, God-given inhibitions against this sin.

If there were an “adultery night” at the ballgame where married couples were encouraged to lock lips with partners to whom they were not married, this would be, in Christian eyes, just as sinful as “Pride Night,” but there’s no movement to promote adultery (although there is one for bigamy).

The public, forced celebration of LGBT physical affection at a sporting event is simply an in-your-face slap against what the activists consider a competing religion with morals diametrically opposed to their own. You don’t have to attend the Pride parade (unless you’re a firefighter on duty). But if you want to watch the Dodgers on June 9, you have to deal with these images on the jumbotron (and your kids get to see it too).

#2: The Facebook rainbow

Facebook’s gender-bending list of identities is totally optional, and honestly, not even relevant for most people. But their “pride” reaction button has caused some consternation that the company hasn’t gone far enough to protect people from revealing their birth gender (i.e. biological sex).

Yes, it's certainly pc to say you're for homo rights and equality, but i don't think there's as big as acceptance of that among the general population as many people believe. 
There's a hard-wired reaction of disgust to homo activity .   They can claim most people accept it, but I don't believe it.

To call the alphabet soup lobby a religion is an insult and affront to real religion, which is just the way they want it.

Imagine if all the McDonalds in Augusta, Georgia (the most “churched” evangelical city in America, according to the Barna Group) issued “Jesus fries” with a cross on them and the corporate office called it a “fun way to show our support of the Christian community.” The world would figuratively (and for some, literally) end.

Jesus Fries.  That made me laugh.

Seriously, though, the waffle fries at Chick-fil-A are almost good enough to be called the "Official French-fried Potato of The Lord".  Too bad it is a 30 mile drive to get to the nearest Chick-fil-A.

That whole dick up the ass thing tends to be offputting, to most.

Actually, ALL of Leftism is a religion - with their sacred sacraments being abortion and homosexuality, supported by doctrines du Jour depending on denomination such as race, gender, global warming, income inequality, social justice etc., etc.

The world is simply forcibly replacing the biblical faiths with their own imposed State-belief systems.

Homosexuality is supposed to be about what you do in the bedroom. Outside of that, there should be no gay anything. Yet it's evolved it's own culture, and as the article states, even into a religion. How is that possible exactly based on what you do with your parts? Because the LGBTQ has made it a hammer for forcing a new morality on Western Civilzation, one that is mutually exclusive. They can step off a pier for all I care.
