Around 200 Christians marched as a group in the Pride procession in London yesterday (7 July) to show their support for the dignity and equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. Many wore T-shirts declaring "Christian and proud".
Many other Christians joined other parts of the parade. A small number of Christians stood at the side of the march with placards expressing their sorrow for Christian homophobia. Later, a Christian service for Pride participants was hosted at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church. There were also participants of other faiths at the event, including Jews and Muslims.
Meanwhile, about forty Christians opposed to same-sex relationships staged a protest against Pride.
The Pride celebrations included veterans of the first Pride march in London, forty years ago. . .
While some lamented the 'scaled down' version, others said it was an opportunity to take Pride back to its origins as a campaigning demonstration. The commercialisation of Pride has been strongly criticised in recent years.
Christians Together at Pride said the day before the march that they saw the developments "as a helpful reminder of what Pride is all about".
Christians Together at Pride is a coalition of nine groups, including the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, Accepting Evangelicals, Inclusive Church and Changing Attitude. Other Christian groups with members at the event included Quest, a network of gay and lesbian Catholics.
They pointed out that Pride originated as a protest rally, with the first participants expressing a demand to be recognised publicly as they defined themselves, not withholding their sexuality.

This evil must be fought on the spiritual level.
Yes, Christian in name is not the same as the Christian of true faith.
These in London think they are doing something noble and true, such as those white Christians who had the courage to march with Martin Luther King for civil rights.
Exactly what the LGBT activists were banking on.
“Christian”, as in support group for social rejects, maybe. Christian, no way.
“Beating them up resolves nothing.
This evil must be fought on the spiritual level.”
Right you are! All Christians should remember and heed these words:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. —Ephesians 6:12.”
[ Not a matter of pissing anyone off. ]
If you’re not pissed off about current social, financial and political events.. domestically and world wide..
Then, You’re probably and evil SOB yourself..
or a craven coward with a evil streak from your toes to your head..
Complicit in the Sodomization of Western Society..

Of course anger and being “pissed off” is natural, but what good does it do? I am concerned with real action, proper attitudes, to form a bulwark against the rising floodtides of nihilism.
Lettuce, Garlic, Bacon, and Tomato Pride!
“Lettuce, Garlic, Bacon, and Tomato Pride!”
Do not forget to add the Quiche! (LGBTQ Pride: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning).
Doo doo sniffers. ;/
Other men’s butts don’t exactly arouse us normal heteros.
When the sin of lust does arise in me heart its of the female variety.

Of course you know this comment is a non sequitur?...
Maybe not!... Bull Squeeze does not work on me...
“Of course you know this comment is a non sequitur?...

How so? Yes, we all get pissed off. Yes, I am intensely interested in how things might change: How the present situation may be slated to decline and reverse. I look for signs and portents of this. Where is the lack of logic? Where is the bull squeeze? I am ready to listen. . .

Can God get pissed off?.. is it possible?.. Is God limited by time?..
If a prophet can see the future, can God also see the future?..
Quite a meme requiring logic..
If God can see the future is anything a mystery to him/it..
If you can see the future why get pissed off about what must happen?..
If you are gay and proud of that kind of lifestyle you are definitely NOT a Christian. End of story.
Yes,(God’s wrath is proof of this);
No;
Yes;
No;
Frustration is the word. Impatience while waiting.

I doubt that there were any real Christians in the crown ... just the regular bunch of queers, freaks and perverts pretending to be Christians in order to bash them.
Was Huckabeee there?
I will never understand how people can call themselves Christians and then support or live a lifestyle completely against scripture. You don’t get to choose which parts of the bible you want to follow and which you do not. You believe it all or you believe none of it. Romans 1 makes God’s feelings on this subject more than clear.
Not a yawn under those circumstances - I take back my comment.
