Yes, but before I focus on Walmart I wonder whether all calendars have the same thing because of some government rule passed by the Dems during Biden's apocalypse.

I just have a 24 month purse planner from Walmart. All the holidays are listed on one page; thankfully no pride day.

I’m sure a lot of Blue States have a pride festival/ parade, like they did in MN (I vaguely heard about it). They even fly the horrid pride flag.

This is why we miss the influence of Charlie Kirk, who helped move the Overton Window regarding discussion of this issue by opining that sexual aberration is a mental illness that needs to be cured. Do we celebrate pride in other illnesses or try to cure them? In Moonshadow Cat Stevens did not say he wanted to be ill but only cited advantages with tongue in cheek.

The cure is listening to Jesus Christ….NOT in celebrating the liberation of SIN.

Yes, and those who think a cause might be genetic should advocate for researching/finding a cure
as for other genetic diseases.

What genetic diseases?? It’s just more of loony Leftest Wokism. It’s mental
Loonie-ism!

God destroyed many of these people in Sodom and Gomorrah. This whole ancient story about gays/lesbians needs to be re-read…..so people are warned.

Google your question. There are too many to mention,
but I was thinking of the man born blind in John 9 as one example.

Please elaborate on the genetic disease theory.

God used many of those lame and blind to show His power at the right time. Everything seemed to be for a higher purpose.

The question was really meant as a statement, but the actual question was meant for those who actually believe it to be a question. :)

God made them male and female for a reason. Some people want to force the wrong puzzle pieces together and say they “fit,” when clearly they don’t!!

Regarding my saying that "those who think a cause might be genetic should advocate for researching/finding a cure
as for other genetic diseases", I think what you meant to say was that you doubt homosexuality is ever caused by a genetic defect, whereas I believe some cases could be caused by defective genes, but it will take unbiased scientific research to discover--and whatever cause should be cured rather than celebrated.

Unfortunately, this is what I thought you meant. God doesn’t make mistakes in His creation, people make mistakes, and unless they REPENT of their SIN they will burn; just as they did in Sodom and Gomorrah.

I don’t say this as a lack of love, but whatever He says matters and always comes to fruition.

Well, God regretted making the first batch of humans per Gen. 6:7,
and God is grieved by every mistake man makes (cf. Eph. 4:30),
but apparently He thinks it will be worth the trouble w'all cause Him at the end.

It was because of wickedness that He destroyed the ancient world of humans, save 8 individuals. We aren’t much different, today.

Yes, and it is because of love that God is grieved when souls sin.
We are still sinners, and God still loves even His enemies (Rom. 5:6-8, Matt. 5:40&44).
God takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked (Ezek. 18:23).

God is Love, because He sent His Son to save us.

Yes, "us" including every sinner who has ever lived,
but some ignore/hate GW.

Yes, He gives us a choice to believe, to have faith in Him, and to do His will. Those that don’t aren’t saved.

I just read an opinion piece by Laura Hollis in Epoch Times in which she said that many policies that are claimed to be compassionate are in truth just the opposite.

The examples she cited include: 1. closing mental hospitals, 2. permitting homeless to live on streets, 3. facilitating drug addiction/abuse, 4. lowering educational standards, 5. not enforcing immigration laws, 6. not enforcing criminal laws, 7. abetting gender dysphoria.

Do you agree that these policies are destructive rather than compassionate?

Don’t the Left embrace all those things, plus a host more negatives?!?

There is a definite right and wrong perspective here. I’m amazed that people can’t connect the dots!!!

This should be enough to NEVER, vote Democrat EVER again!!

Better to find out who is behind all politicians, promoting sexual immorality, pedophilia, open boarder, bombing middle east, chasing refugees to leave their homeland, persecuting Christians, burning Christian churches....

I don’t think this is necessarily a question, because it’s obvious. My amazement is with the so called Christian’s/ “good people” not being able to differentiate the obvious.

In this case, it’s pretty much black and white, not grey (which would be questionable at best, or up to conscience). Perplexed!
