1. You’re claiming Christianity is so normalized people don’t notice it. That’s exactly the point with pride.

2. Am I reading this right? You think LGBT people and pride is oppressing people more than Christianity?




1. Mcdonalds is 'normalized'. Everybody knows you can get a double quarter pounder at mcdonalds.

Christanity is not noticed. The public rarely knows the content of the faith it rejects. And the point is reinforced by the complete lack of knowledge about what it is and how pride might impact it, in this conversation.

2. "Normalization" and "oppression" are not words that mean what I'm talking about.

Christianity is "unknown" to the public and the LGBT politicians turn a blind eye to people they don't want to relate to. They are tripping over landmines they don't see. I pointed this out and was met with the same old desire to flee from relating to Christianity, as we see from lgbtq activists all the time.

Not everybody thinks pride is a good thing nor that it should be shoved in their face, thinking that media spam is going to result in political conversions is hopelessly naive to how faith functions, what christianity is and without mutual knowledge of one another's worldview, it'll never be resolved in love.


I would argue that practitioners of the faith rarely know the content of the faith they practice. Hence the extreme anti-LGBT stance pushed in their politics and preferred media, despite the conspicuous lack of relevant scripture.

And this extremity is definitely something LGBT folks see all the time. Their states are passing laws banning them from sports and bathrooms. LGBT issues can no longer be mentioned in their schools. So don't play the pity card when Christians behave like monsters, and the non-Christian world responds in kind.


I have zero interest in playing the 'pity card. Even though compassion is a good thing.

I'm just saying the truth as I see it and think shared knowledge should be the basis of political unity, not activist tribalism.


> not activist tribalism

Ohh the irony.
