June is recognized as LGBTQ+ Pride Month. It’s meant to be a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, commemorate the famous Stonewall Uprising, and advocate for equal rights. Pride Month events and marches are scheduled across the country, around the world, and in Guilford County.
On Thursday, June 5, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners is adopting a resolution formally recognizing June 2025 as Pride Month in Guilford County.
The resolution is being sponsored by Commissioner Brandon Gray-Hill, the board’s first and only openly gay county commissioner.
The resolution to be adopted Thursday night affirms Guilford County’s commitment to diversity, inclusion and the protection of civil rights for all county residents. The document emphasizes the county’s support for the rights of every citizen to experience equality and freedom from discrimination.
“Guilford County supports the rights of every citizen to experience equality and freedom from discrimination,” the resolution reads.
It states that the county “accepts and welcomes people of diverse backgrounds” and believes diversity contributes to a more vibrant community.
The resolution highlights the contributions of individuals from all walks of life, and it states that all people – regardless of age, gender identity, race, color, religion, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation or physical challenges – play a significant role in the county’s cultural and economic success.
Also, the resolution underscores the importance of creating a community where all citizens “can live without fear of prejudice and discrimination” and it calls for continued education and awareness efforts that promote civil rights.
When adopted, the resolution will officially designate June 2025 as Pride Month in Guilford County. It encourages residents to “respect and honor our diverse community” and to take part in activities that “build dialogue, strengthen alliances, and advance the equal rights of all individuals.”
The action by the board follows a broader trend of municipalities and counties across the US that are taking similar steps during Pride Month to show support for LGBTQ+ individuals and to celebrate their contributions to society.
It’s the fourth of June and I already have Pride fatigue.
Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Pride Month…whats wrong with this picture?
everything. vote-pandering, feel-good, Marxist……
Maybe tax-freedom day is moved forward to June – tax-free month.
Military Appreciation Month (May)
Weird you didn’t know that.
today is the last day of national boating & fishing week. did u fish or boat ? are u unamerican ?
i proclaim july hetero month & august poly’ month !
Since the LBGT group is only a small percentage of our population, why do they deserve a month of promotion? By their standards, straight people deserve the other 11 months to be proclaimed ” STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTHS” !
Have straight people been forced to keep the person they love a secret? Have straight people been physically attacked because someone found out about the type of person they love? Has a straight person been discriminated from having equal access to legal probate laws because the government refused to acknowledge their loving relationships with their significant other? Have straight people had to protest, risk arrest, and violence to be open about the person they love? Nope.
Pride is the celebration of LGBTQ people overcoming the US’s long history of bigotry and discrimination. If straight people ever have that problem, they can have their own pride month.
humans long history of . . . chickens will peck a deformed chicken to death as protection from defective genetics ? we are better than that ?
Here’s another cause for Chris to support
In many locations across the country “Pride” celebrations have become nothing more than various displays of fetishes and deviant behavior. What happened to being proud to be an American?
We have several holidays for that if you missed them. July 4th being the biggest one.
Hope that helps.
Marvelous! Now that we’re embracing all those who contribute to the cultural and economic life of Guilford County, I presume those who identify and take pride as Trumpgender or MAGA can celebrate without fear of discrimination!
It’s also National Dairy Month so go grab some ice cream.
I thought June was going to be proclaimed Veterans Month. Lets see, we have Christmas DAY, Italian American DAY, we have Mothers DAY, Fathers DAY, Presidents DAY, Martin Luther King DAY plus others but we need a whole MONTH to celebrate and recognize Lesbians, Gays, Bi,Trans and Queer people ?? Can’t we all just be people with different things about us ? Do I have to know you are Queer ? Does it make you any better in pouring concrete, building a house, a VP or teller at a bank, being a policeman, fireman or baking cookies ? A whole damn month!! Just stop ,,,,,, stop
Exactly!
May is already Military Appreciation Month, having been observed since 1997 due to efforts by Senator McCain and President Clinton.
In the United States, May is recognized as National Military Appreciation Month, a time to honor and thank the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. This month also includes several military-related observances like Armed Forces Day, Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and Memorial Day.
FYI, you do have to get comfortable with knowing someone is queer or do you expect queer people to never display public affection like hetero people do? Or display pictures of their spouse in their office at work? Or have the spouse attend events and be introduced as their spouse?
Why would that offend you?
Chris have you thanked Alan yet.
I just puked…again.
I proclaim 2025 tax free year.

Let’s call it what it is : Pervert Pride Month.
It seems to make them angry, but I don’t know why. I mean, they ARE perverts, aren’t they? If they were genuinely proud of their predilections why would they object to the identification and celebration of their habits?
It’s not my cup of tea, but I’m a libertarian. I don’t care what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. But I don’t want it shoved in my face either, even if it’s normal heterosexual sex.
Sex is a private matter.
Just so you understand, calling it pervert pride month qualifies you for the title of bigot.
What is being shoved in your face? A man introducing his male spouse in a social setting? I gay couple holding hands or kissing each other goodbye in public? A gay couple playing with their child in a park? A gay person having a picture of their spouse on their desk at work? Same sex couple getting married on the beach?
THAT is what they had to fight for in our society and now celebrate with a pride month. And no. None of that is perverted. Only weirdos jump to thinking of a married couples’ sexual habits just because they want to openly be a couple in public the same as heterosexual couples. Did you notice that heterosexual has the word sexual in it…..oooooooooo so perverted. LMAO do you object the the identification and celebration of YOUR habits?
Go ahead and try to claim that calling a homosexual perverted isn’t in insult. Then we can call you a bigot AND a liar.
———
Homosexuality IS a sexual perversion. If it were normal, the human race wouldn’t exist.
It’s a shame you can’t accept reality, but not surprising since you have demonstrated this over and over again.
* You can’t accept that Africans are less intelligent than Europeans.
* You can’t accept that homosexuality is a perversion.
* You can’t accept that Global Warming is spurious, and simply a mechanism to implement globalism.
Enjoy your Alice in Wonderland, mate. You’re a sorry little sod.
Funny that it has existed for 100s of years yet the human race exists. Do you call redheads a perversion? There are fewer natural redheads than LGBTQ people. Bet you don’t.
I accept that many African countries have an average lower IQ than Europeans. What I don’t accept that it is the result of genetic differences (That is the racist trope of people ignorant of the studies showing that impact of extreme poverty on the development of Children due to lack of proper nutrients in their limited diet, exposure to toxic chemicals, lack of access to proper schooling, etc…)
Global temperatures (Climate change) have changed more in the last few 100 years than his had in the last 1000s of years (paraphrasing the science here) as a direct result of our overuse of fossil fuels. THAT is a fact. Just because you choose to say “Na Uh” to all of the science and data doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
COVID jabs were a major part of releaving the pressure from overcrowding of hospitals and are far and away safer than having full exposure to covid’s short-term and long-term impacts. Again, just because you don’t know how to interpret scientific studies of those that only identify correlation and versus those that link causation just shows how your bias clouds your ability to learn.
Enjoy your world of willful ignorance. It is your children and grandchildren who will suffer the most from it in the future.
But you be you.
*
Redheads do not engage in sexual perversion. I don’t know what you’re talking about.
* The planet is indeed warming slowly. It has gone through warming and cooling cycles forever.
* Any assertion that the Clot Shot relieved pressure on the medical system is patently ridiculous. It exacerbated the problem, so that the medical-pharmaceutical complex could make Billions. Which they did.
* Finally, why do you always insult the intelligence of people who disagree with you? Why do you feel the need to put down others? Do you think you are really so superior intellectually? You and I entered UNC-G at about the same time. In Fall 1983 I was the individual who achieved the highest SAT of all incoming students that year (out of about 1600). I will gladly supply the News & Record article about me to Scott. So don’t you dare denigrate my intellect. If anything, you are clearly the obtuse onanist of this organ.
In plain vernacular you are just stupid.
And odious.
You have a weird fascination with the private sex lives of people of the LGBTQ community.
Again, i hate to break it to you but, heterosexual people do ALL the same sexual activities of people in the LGBTQ people. The only difference is that they are biologically attracted to people of the same gender.
Thank again for sharing your bigotry openly for all to see.
Best wishes.
The global temperature change is rising at a significantly faster rate than pre-industrial times. For example, since 1850 the global average surface temperature increased by about 0.11 F per decade. However, the rate of warming has dramatically increased in recent decades. Since 1982, the rate is more than three times as fast at 0.36 F per decade and from 1995 to 2024 the increase has been 0.47 F for the decade. So climate change was highly stable until ….wait for it….the industrial age when we started dumping massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The correlation is very clear that the causation is very clear as well.
With the COVID vaccine, the data again points to your lack of accuracy.
In April 2021, when the Alpha variant was the dominant variant of the virus in the U.S. the vaccine had a 91.3% efficacy against COVID-19 “measured seven days through up to six months after the second dose”, with 100% effectiveness against severe disease as defined by the CDC and 95.3% effectiveness against severe disease as defined by the FDA.
Would you like to see the actual trial data results or do you want to keep ignoring data, facts and science and just say ‘na uh’ and call me names again.
I insult people who ignore data, science and facts and offer nothing to the conversation other than ‘na uh’ and proceed to call me childish names. Hmmmmmm……who does that…oh right. You do.
Best wishes.
*****
WRONG again, Chris! I have no interest whatsoever in the sex lives of perverts – or anyone else.
Where do you get these weird insinuations? You have a fertile imagination and a tenuous grip on reality. A reality perception problem is a flag for mental illnesses, and we know you suffer from mental illness because you have admitted it yourself – ADHD.
Seek professional help. Psychiatrists are in the phone book.
Good luck.
Did you really suggest the phone book? Lmao.
The phone book isn’t the issue; your mental illness is.
Careful your ignorance is showing!!
I am a lot of things, but ignorant I’m not.
I find that people who have to tell you they aren’t ignorant are typically….well…ignorant.
But you be you.
compare the manly man to the girly girl to enjoy human behavior.
PS
You can’t even accept that the COVID jabs were neither safe nor effective.
It must be an interesting little world you live in.
The jabs are far safer than having covid. THAT is a fact backed by numerous studies and science. You can live in your little conspiracy theory world where everyone is out to get you. Given your personality, I am not surprised that you think that…
Be sure to get your latest jab in the arm, buddy!
You won’t survive without it !!!
Already got it! And glad for it!
Good.
porn is huge in print & on the internet – has the meaning of ‘private’ changed ? consider the food porn media ? ‘get a room’ is a handy statement.
This makes me sick to my stomach!
Why? Did you only fight for freedom of straight people during your time in the USMC? Weird because that isn’t how that works.
Or is it that you can’t help yourself and imagine gay sex every time you hear the word gay and you think that is gross? (If so, then that is a YOU problem).
But you be you. And gay people will the gay as that is their God given right as human beings.
—–
Chris gets really worked up over this subject, every time. Are we hitting a nerve, Chrissy?
Happy to point out ignorance anytime. My pleasure really.
But are you gay? You missed the point, as usual.
Just ignoring the childishness. Not complicated.
But you be you.
We can all draw our own conclusions….. It explains why you are so easily triggered, and how hysterical you get (especially regarding this issue).
Have a glass of sherry and a Marlboro light, sweetie. It’ll help you unwind.
Chris won’t say if he’s gay ! That explains a lot, especially his fixation with this issue – because he is.
religion belief should be cataloged as a mental illness.
How about Pidgin English?
That too?
pidgin english is a mental illness ? is gullah geechee ? are all patois ? that’s why they speak funny – it’s mental illness ! LOL
When your comments no longer sound like they were written by a six year old, you might be taken more seriously.
They all need to be fired!! They care more about tbe alphabet soup group than they do anyone else!! Why people think it’s okay to celebrate sin is Way beyond me! You give gays a whole month but veterans who fought for our freedom get one day!! First responders get one day. Mothers and fathers, one freaking day. But a sinner gets an entire month! Y’all have lost your freaking minds in this country!
Ah, so you want Religion to dictate other people’s behavior regardless of how God made them. Kinda sounds like Afghanistan.
What about the Veterans? LMAO, May is already Military Appreciation Month, so I guess you didn’t care enough to know that did you? Maybe you need to think about your priorities before telling everyone else their business based on your personal religious views.
Pride and mental health are closely intertwined.
You are correct. When the LGBTQ was required to hide who they really were from public for fear of discrimination, social rejection, or even violence it was highly detrimental to their mental health. Now that they can be open in our modern society, Pride is the greatest sign that those mental health issues are declining within the LGBTQ community.
Great call out.
agreed. consider the meaning of ‘pride’ vs. ‘proud’. something . . . & proud of it ! what happened to ‘pride goeth before a fall’ ? preachers learn to play both sides of fences .
Guilford County Commissioners are always a day late and a dollar short. While corporations and federal, state, and local governments have seen the error in their ways and are backing off from Pride Month, the commissioners have decided it is time to join a waning celebration. Skip Alston is not a leader or a reader of tea leaves.
Let’s just change the name of Greensboro to Sodom, change Guilford County to Gomorrah, and go ahead and get this over with. Embracing deviance is nothing to be proud of.
You mean sexual deviance? I hate to break it to you but there is nothing that gays do sexually that heterosexuals don’t do. They are just biologically attracted to do it with people of the same gender as God made them.
Chris, you’re an idiot.
* You’re right, Tom.
Worse still, he’s an idiot who thinks he’s a genius.
He suffers from a profound Reality Perception Problem.
The classic childish name calling response. Must be a conservative. Yawn
God made them? If so, God’s wisdom created males and females for the purpose of procreation (different body parts), something which gays cannot do.
Why did God make infertile men and women? They are close to 15% of men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 which is greater than the LGBTQ population. I don’t question Gods plan. Why do you?
God also created infertility.
So Chris I see you believe in God and you say you are a Christian. Tell then what does the Bible say about men laying with men.
Try James 2:8. Note it offers no exceptions.
Good question, Rebel ! You know, I suspect Chris is gay. He won’t answer a direct question, and the whole MGBGT issue makes him hysterical, like a little girl….
Weird how Austin wants to know all about my love life. Maybe he has a secret he isn’t telling anyone. LOL.
Sorry Austin I am not gay, I am married and have mentioned my wife here in the comments a few times as well as my kids.
Weird.
Lots of married men are homosexual. You’re a poof.
Admit it.
A lot of homophobic men like you are secretly gay……are you?
I’m neither gay nor homophobic. They just don’t matter to me, other than when they parade their perversions in public, which makes me nauseous.
Why would you attend a gay pride parade? Oooooooooooh…….
I don’t.
Just more lies from you.
I’m ok with 1 day if we must. We should not be promoting deviant behavior. A whole month is plain ridiculous.
Walter
Why is it deviant behavior? I hear the BS that that word isn’t meant to be offensive, but duh, it is. Just because you don’t think it isn’t (you do most likely know it is, ask any LGBTQ person who they feel about being called a deviant….I dare you.)
That aside, the reason for a month is that it is a celebration of the gay community to be able to open about their same sex relationships. Keep in mind that their sex life is a private as yours. As a community they had to fight bigotry and often violence for the right to openly show love for their spouse or significant other in a way you and I take for granted as heterosexuals.
It is not about promoting anything other than THAT right to be open about who they love. They don’t want to ‘convert’ people to their love and affection for same sex people. That is a biological trait they were assigned at birth. When heterosexual people have to fight for the right to be open about who they love publicly, they can have a pride month too.
Since the LBGT group is only a small percentage of our population, why do they deserve a month of promotion? By their standards, straight people deserve the other 11 months to be proclaimed ” STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTHS” !
Because like a lot of minority groups they have had to fight long and hard for equal rights in our society. After decades of having to hide their relationships with their significant others from public it is fair that they can celebrate their pride in who they are now that the worst of those bigoted barriers have been removed from our society.
As soon as straight couples have to go through the same experience, they can have a pride month too.

What pride is derived from sodomy?
Normal people find it repulsive, but liberty requires that we permit it, and we do so gladly even if we can’t relate to it.
That is the essence of liberty : that we are free to do whatever we like, so long as we do no harm to other people.
So let ’em get on with it, if that’s what floats their boat.
This is not bigotry; it’s tolerance.
Some Leftists peddle misinformation and lies, so they can claim to be superior. But they’re unpleasant and hateful individuals.
Sodomy is really very normal in the heterosexual population. Studies show approximately 30% to 44% of couples include it in their sexual life on a regular basis. My understanding is that it is also one of the top porn categories online. Even better there is a huge market for prostrate massagers that relies on straight men to purchase to justify the size of the market in the adult toy industry.
Your bigotry is referring to perfectly healthily loving relationships as perverted just because they are same sex couples. It is your defining attribute that classifies you as a bigot. Claiming that calling LGBTQ couples perverted isn’t an insult just shows how deeply your ignorance goes.
Leftists support science that uses data and verifiable / repeatable studies to evaluate the world around them versus conservatives who use unsubstantiated conspiracy theories to prop up their willful ignorance in support of their personal biases and hatred of things they don’t understand or just don’t like.
But you be you.
Go get a life, you wanker.
Lmao, can’t refute the facts so you use your go to childish name calling response.
Classic!
You present no facts, just opinions and nasty character assassination.
I quoted a study’s directly with percentages. You feeling ok? May you need to take a break from the internet as it seems you are struggling to keep up with it all.
Chris is an artificial foil to elicit more responses to keep arguments going. It will automatically oppose any consensus opinion displayed by respondents. Getting personal with it is futile.
— Do you know Socrates, I sometimes wonder if Chris is actually the Editor, Scott, acting as an agent provocateur.
There is not enough time in the week to write as much as I write and also what Chris writes.
He sure does produce a whole lot of verbiage.
Okay Scott, you’re not actually Chris.
Wow, you actually deny one of your silly conspiracy theories isn’t true. LMAO
Oh stop trying to score points. You’re pathetic. I said that I wondered if “Chris” was Scott. I didn’t assert it.
You’re such a little wanker.
Chris, anal sodomy is not normal in any sexual relationship, if normal is defined by what natured intended. Humans have practiced perverted (diverted purpose) behavior since the beginning. LGBTQ behavior is without question perverted behavior. To view LGBTQ any other way is to consider the behavior normal. It is not, so stop trying to make it acceptable behavior. People who practice LGBTQ behavior should not be viewed as special and should not be given special recognition. My beliefs are not based on strong and unreasonable dislike for people who have different beliefs than my own. My believes are based in the fact that nature did not intend for the practice of sodomy because to engage in sodomy is to defy nature in favor of perverted sexual desires. The behavior goes against nature. It also can cause serious health problems. I will not broadcast my opinions, but I will shun those who try and force their lifestyle on society and that includes faux supporters like politicians.
Studies show that 30 to 40 of married couples partake in sodomy as part of their sexual activity (yes it can be done safely and e. LGBTQ sexual behavior is no different than straight people. Heckl surveys show that over 20% of gay men don’t actually practice sodomy as part of their sexual activity.
I do think it important to point out the relationship between two people in love involves things far more important than just sex.
LGBTQ is as normal as natural redheads. Heck, there are more gay people than there are natural redheads. Something doesn’t have to be the ‘Majority’ to be normal. There are literally millions of gay men and women in the world. So very normal from a quantitative viewpoint. Also given that it occurs in many other species of animals show that it is a normal part of life even outside the human race.
How do you know what nature intended? Weird you think YOU could know.
Oh and hate to break it to you but sex is one of the most common ways to spread disease and just between homosexuals.
No gay men or women are trying to force themselves on you. They just want the equal right to be open about who they love in public in the same manner as the heterosexual people. They have had to fight hard for that right in the face of bigotry driven hate, violence and discrimination. They deserve a pride month for standing up for themselves in the face of such ignorance and hatred.
Best wishes.
****
“Studies show…” ” Experts say…” “Science says…”
Such phrases are always uttered by intellectual sheep who lack the capacity for independent reasoning.
Chris is a perfect example.
Baa… Baa… Baa….
The old ‘na uh’ and then call me childish names. Classic Austin response when he is faced with facts he can’t refute.
What facts are those?
Go back and re-read my posts. Facts often show up in the form of numbers, noted studies or sources. I have provided a few in this string of comments. I understand you struggle with reading comprehension, so this is good practice for you.
Best of luck ‘ol chap.
So you have nothing.
You really can’t follow multiple comments in a thread.
You sure you are ok? You are a bit young still to have those kinds of challenges.
what have you learned/gained communicating with him ? piss time away . . . with us !
Thank you, Chris, for making by point. Using an orifice for sexual gratification that was never intended for sex is not normal because nature did not intend such. What you are describing are freewill choices not natural selection. This is the 1960s philosophy that “anything goes.” I do not dispute that heterosexual couples engage in unnatural sexual activities. That is not in dispute. But choices do not make the act natural. A male can declare himself a female, but he is still a male. To declare him a female is a choice made by otherwise sane individuals.
Yes, LGBTQ behavior is being forced on society with the celebration of unnatural acts, including Pride Month. Government is codifying behavior that is based on choices not immutable traits. When this occurs, chaos is inevitable.
It is so normal that many people do it every day in the heterosexual community. I fully support your lack of interest in the practice and even that you don’t like it in general and believe it inappropriate. But you can’t use it to demonize the LGBTQ community given there are far more people in the heterosexual community practicing sodomy than there are in the LGBTQ community.
What is being forced on you exactly? Having to see two people of the same gender holding hands in public? Not sure why you would attend a pride parade which I would likely be a bit overwhelming for you personally. But what really is being forced on you other than having to see two loving people of the same gender in public? If THAT is what is bothering you, maybe it is a YOU problem.
Best wishes.
Chris the Bible verse you sent me is not the one I was referring to, I was talking about the one referring to man laying with a man. I’m pretty sure you know the one I’m talking about. I think it’s interesting the way you deflect your answers when you don’t have an answer that fits your narrative or you just ignore the question altogether then move to a different topic
I sent you the verse that matters. I assume you refer to the Old Testament book of Leviticus. Tell me do you get as upset about those blended fabrics? Just curious. LOL
If you study your theology, the laws in the book of Leviticus are understood to have been fulfilled by Jesus, meaning they are not binding on believers in the same way they were for ancient Israel under the Old Covenant. Hense the idea of blended fabrics and all the ceremonial laws are no longer relevant to us. The New Testament teaches that believers are under a ‘new covenant’ established through Christ’s death and resurrection (Hebrews 8:13). This new covenant is characterized by grace and faith in Jesus, rather than strict adherence to the Mosaic Law for salvation or righteousness.
I am not a deep theologian by any means. I keep it rather simple. So again, I follow the law of Christ who says we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves. He doesn’t say “unless they are gay”. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t mention homosexuality at all.
Best wishes.
Hope that helps.
Many people commit murder every day too. Does that mean it’s normal?
Sadly murder is normal in the US. Most murders don’t even make the evening news.
You’ve missed the point completely.
You asked a very direct question, and I answered it accurately.
You really really sure you are ok?
*
Here’s the point you missed:
You claimed that sodomy is normal because it occurs frequently. But chronic and continued incidence of any phenomenon does not necessarily mean that it’s normal. That’s the fallacy in your reasoning. Murder happens every day too, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal.
You’re deliberately deflecting, because you have probably now realised your error.
You never admit you’re mistaken about anything. We all know people like you.
Murder is a very normal everyday occurrence in the US.
Normal = conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.
Notice the words usual, typical…..frequency does define something as normal. Or you arguing that the dictionary is wrong again?
Chris is now on record as stating that murder is normal.
Really.
Austin is now on the record not understanding the definition of normal.
the same person murders every day ? pidgin english
How did you go from anal sodomy to holding hands in public? You are grasping for ideas to explain the acceptance of a behavior because people engage in it, because you want a behavior accepted regardless of whether it is normal or not. And you are trying to marginalize my opinions by inserting an off-subject topic to try and make me appear unreasonable. You must know in your deepest self that nature did not intend for the anus to be used for sex. Therefore, to do so is unnatural. Humans have exhausted all known and available orifices to engage in sex.
You said homosexuality is being forced on you. I asked how so? Are being forced to watch gay porn? Nope. At most you are having to watch a same sex couple hold hands or give a kiss. That was my point.
So, answer the question pleas because I see a lot of comments of please claiming homosexuality is being forced on them, but they never clarify how it is any way a negative impact on their lives?
I never wrote that homosexuality is being forced on anyone. What is being forced is the normalization of LGBTQ behavior, which it is not based on nature’s design.
Term Limits, again Chris’s twisted words. I really think he throws a temper tantrum in his head before he posts anything
“Yes, LGBTQ behavior is being forced on society….”
Direct quote.
Again I point out that there is nothing sexual that homosexuals do that heterosexuals don’t also do on a regular basis. Homosexuality is very normal as it has existing throughout time and exists in many species of animals as well. What about homosexuality isn’t normal?
Just because it is a minority of people doesn’t mean it isn’t normal. It is perfectly normal for people to have naturally red hair. Not very common but very normal. Same with homosexuality.
What is ‘as nature intended’ mean? Homosexuals are as they were made by God. It isn’t a personal choice; they were born that way….as nature intended them to be by their biological make up.
You really have to make a stronger case. Just because you don’t understand it or ‘like’ it doesn’t make it unnatural or not normal and it certainly doesn’t make it wrong. Just admit it makes you uncomfortable and you prefer to not engage with people in the LGBTQ community for that reason alone. I really don’t think they will mind you skipping out on their pride celebrations.
Let put it this way Chris. I PERSONALLY don’t like gays,lesbians,homosexuals, or anyone who associates themselves as such Queer isQueer no matter how you spin it. I don’t judge that’s GODS issue.
Funny. New Testament says you should love your neighbor. Not love your neighbor unless they are gay. Dont hide behind the bible. Jesus”s message is clear. I understand people of an older generation being uncomfortable around LGBTQ people. Just dont blame it on a version of the Bible that doesn’t exist in Christianity or flawed logic of your take of a natural order etc…
Just admit it makes you uncomfortable and let it be. No one is forcing you to be anything more than tolerant of those that are different. That’s it.
Once again, any comments by me are about defining unnatural behavior if natural is defined by what nature intended as the use of a bodily orifice. People may engage in unnatural behavior, but the behavior does not make it natural. And in this case, unhealthy behavior. Webster defines unnatural as “not being in accordance with nature or consistent with a normal course of events.” I stand with Webster, not you. Webster uses PERVERSE as a synonym for unnatural. You, Chris, need a lesson in the English language rather than attempting to change definitions to fit perverted behavior.
But…..anal sex is normal. Millions of people (hetero and homosexual) practice it every day. (almost half of all people have given it a go one time or another).
The definition of normal = to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. It is typical for couples to engage in all types of sex acts that don’t lead to procreation, including anal sex. So yes, anal sex is natural as it is very much normal. So, we handled that part of your definition of ‘unnatural’.
Now it gets more interesting when you understand how ‘as nature intended’ is defined since it is a key part of the definition you provided. The phrase “as nature intended” suggests something is ideal or natural because it aligns with what one believes is the natural order or purpose of things. It often implies a judgment about what is considered good, beneficial, or appropriate.
Notice in the above definition, it includes ‘what one believes’ and ‘implies a judgement’. I judge it natural given that wild animals partake in gay sex acts as indication that nature is perfectly ok with sex other than just procreation and there for as nature intended, pleasurable and fun. This fits the more typical definition of ‘unatural’ = not in accordance with or determined by nature, contrary to nature. Since it happens in nature, it is as nature intended.
So, using my solid understanding of the English language I validate that anal sex is perfectly natural behavior based on the definition of ‘normal’ implying how common something is (ie frequently something occurs to the point is ‘commonly’ expected) and that there is no definitive defined standard of ‘nature intended’ as that definition requires personal judgement or belief. Ergo = anal sex is natural. It is common. And by my judgement, as nature intended.
I think you need to work on your understanding of the English language as you seem to have skipped over the definition of ‘nature intended’ requiring belief or personal judgement.
I will also toss out that any type of sex has potential health issues, even traditional old fashion missionary sex between a man and woman. That seems to be another refrain tossed out by people who find homosexuality uncomfortable.
Chris, you are a poster child for the left’s attempt to debase our Western culture by changing the English language. In private do you speak Ebonics?
Be specific as I have changed nothing in the English language. It is you who have twisted basic English definitions to justify your bigotry of the LGBTQ community as i have outlined this very well using only the definitions from the dictionary.
Chris, your responses are a waste of my time to read. You do not know what you are talking about.
Chris can you read, what part of I DON’T LIKE ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH [Deleted] did YOU NOT UNDERSTAND Wanker
