A Tiny Contingent or a Muffled Majority?



"Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling." Proverbs 16:18 NASB


Commenting on last Saturday's (June 15, 2019) annual LGBT Parade in Downtown Columbus, someone remarked in a Columbus Dispatch article, “In recent years, the most heartening change in the Pride Parade has been the growing number of kids and families in attendance.” However, seeing the increasing number of young persons and young children marching in and dispersed throughout the crowd to me is what was most disconcerting about the event.


I was one of the “tiny contingent of anti-LGBT (pro-traditional moral values) protesters” as described in that same article. We may have been small numerically, but our message was a major one, which was not represented anywhere, especially not by the several apostate churches participating in the parade. “Repent from your moral depravity” was our cry. Our signs and much maligned and muffled preaching condemned both the sexual depravity being openly flaunted and displayed as well as the equally heinous act of abortion so cherished by a shrinking portion of our culture.





Major companies like Kroger, Big Lots Stores, AEP, Nationwide and Aetna Insurance, and educational institutions like Ohio State and Capital Universities, Columbus City Schools and even advocates for pro-LGBT politicians sponsored and/or marched proudly in the three-hour plus decadent procession. All of these are candidates for targeted boycott by those of us who want to see American traditional moral values and virtues restored.
