"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.
