A Pastoral Reflection on Pride Month


Jon Saunders




Pride Month has become the advent season for the religion of LGBT+. June is a season filled with gay religious symbols and testimonies of deliverance. The advocates spoke (preached) with religious fervor to further the cause of their new-found religion. The messages were filled with promises of hope, as well as warnings of judgement for those who do not accept.
