During Pride Month, several people asked, “Why do LGBTQ+ people have to make it their whole personality?”

Funny how nobody says that about football fans.

They wear the shirts, decorate their homes, travel hundreds of miles, get tattoos, cry over the result and talk endlessly about their team.

Nobody complains.

Maybe the problem isn't that LGBTQ+ people make it their “whole personality”.

Maybe some people simply notice LGBTQ+ identity more because they're uncomfortable with it.

And when something about you has been hidden, mocked, condemned or discriminated against for generations, finally being able to celebrate it openly can feel pretty important.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride isn't saying “this is all I am.”
It's saying “this is part of who I am — and I'm not ashamed of it.”

Someone recently asked: Why does Leviticus 18:22 include only the male gender? One interpretation is that it means a Man should not have s*x with a Boy because of the 2 different words for 'male' that are used. That leaves it open to having s*x with a girl - which seems equally abhorrent.
Well, maybe both genders are included; you just need to read a bit more of the chapter.
