LQBTQ Rallies Spark Huge Anger Worldwide

Conservatives and Christians around the World must be furious at the recent Pride parades and LGBTQ PLUS rallies which have taken place in countries such as our very own South Africa, Canada, the US, the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil.

Common practices at these events include placards in which Jesus is mocked and belittled, adult men dressed up in pink and rainbow colours performing all sorts of derogatory sexual acts in front of little children whilst parents stand by and watch, and slogans such as ‘Not today Jesus’ and all sorts of other distasteful phrases being displayed with glee and arrogance by attendees. Recently in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a man could be seen dressed up as “mock Jesus”, wearing a crown of thorns, which is very symbolic to Christian believers, and a gold cross, dancing g down the street as spectators gathered. Similarly, in Denmark, a controversial mock reenactment of the Last Supper was staged, which caused an uproar amongst Christians, which is understandable.

What would happen if other religious deities or gods, such as Buddha or Mohamed would be made a mockery of? And why is it always Christianity which is targeted? Could this be a sign of a time when believers of the Holy Church and the Bible will have to face increasing opposition for no particular reason? Is it a sign of Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Atheism combining g to form an alliance against good Western values? Or are we just living in a World where people have sadly lost their identity, their self-respect and their dignity, and are now looking for answers far and wide, rather than doing some introspection with regards to what is acceptable public behaviour and how careful we need to be with what we put out in front of our children and those who are vulnerable or susceptible to having a lack of self-worth or identity?

I don’t outright condemn members of the LGBTQ + community, but I also urge those individuals who practice such things to do so responsibly and out of the sight of our youth, as these sort of actions are aggressively immoral, in my view, and reek of total disrespect and a lack of self-awareness. We are all responsible for our behaviour, and given the fact that SA is predominantly a Christian nation, these parades and practices deserve to be scrutinized or at least monitored more strictly, for the sake of our children and purely out of reverence for who the God of the Bible is to some of us.
