In today’s culture, the profane, secular society immediately associates the month of June as the time to massively promote and praise sexual disorder by celebrating so-called Pride Month. You can’t avoid it, as every minute of every day in June you’ll find “pride” advertising on TV, displays in the stores, sports leagues devoting games to it, and city governments sponsoring official “pride parades” that feature naked men on bikes and so-called furries on leashes.
The month-long celebration of homosexuality and other perverted sexual behaviors is loudly and proudly promoting sexual acts that the Catholic Church defines as acts of grave depravity, intrinsically disordered, and contrary to the natural law. “Pride month” celebrations and the institutions, businesses, and people who endorse them are not only rejoicing in sexual debauchery but they are giving their seal of approval to a lifestyle that is directly opposed to what God teaches – a lifestyle that the overwhelming consensus of society believed was sinful from the beginning of human time to all the way up to just a few decades ago.
By seizing the month of June to be considered a 30-day homage to sexual perversions, the so-called *LGBTQIA2S+ movement grotesquely mocks authentic Christianity. Of course, they rationalize their actions and revelry by innocently insisting, “It’s fine to live a gay (or lesbian or bisexual or transgender or queer or…) lifestyle because Jesus loves me just the way I am.” To that I say, yes, Jesus loves sexually disordered people, but He loves them so much that He wants to push them to strive to be perfect, and that means not succumbing to the *LGBTQIA2S+ agenda’s belief system and not to live out an immoral life. Jesus loves the heterosexual adulterer too, but He called that type of sexual activity a sin and implored the adulterer to sin no more. He didn’t tell her to go celebrate with “Adultery Pride Month.”
* [Note: LGBTQIA2S+ is the latest politically correct acronym used by the culture to describe people who don’t follow the original manner of sexuality as intended by God and who want to be categorized according to their sexual appetites. It will take you a while to look up what all the letters stand for and can be confusing and exasperating to keep up with the ever-increasing alphabet. I use this elongated and incessant acronym purely to magnify its ridiculousness.]
Whereas “Pride Month” participants and promoters will say they are merely celebrating so-called ‘sexuality identities‘ and ‘sexual diversity,’ the ultimate end-goal of these rainbow-flag-wavers is to justify their lust and perversion of God’s original design while also converting all of society to share in their moral relativism.
Moral relativism is the philosophical view that there are no absolutes or objective moral truths, and that morality is subjective, changeable, and identified by how something makes us feel. The Catholic Church and authentic Christianity opposes moral relativism because if society doesn’t clearly define right and wrong, we head down a slippery slope that eventually leads to the decay of civilization. In addition, moral relativism is unbiblical. Jesus came into the world to testify to the truth that comes from His Heavenly Father. In John 18, Jesus says, “For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth.” It is also written:
“Jesus answered them, ‘My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me; if any man’s will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.'” (John 7:15-18)
Getting back to the upsetting realization that most of the culture has transformed the month of June into an occasion to take delight in sexual perversions, it is ironically fitting that they have labeled this “Pride Month,” as pride is not just one of the seven deadly sins but is actually considered the first sin and the queen of all other sins.
Pride was the first sin ever committed – when the fall angel Satan didn’t want to play second fiddle to God – and pride was the first human sin, committed by Adam and Eve. Pride is when a person places oneself on a higher pedestal than one deserves, and it’s a deadly sin because in its foremost form, pride is when a person places oneself on a higher pedestal than God. Pride is also deadly because it cannot stand others who disagree, and as the pride grows, the proud person feels a need to destroy everyone else who is wrong. This might not be a literally destruction, but it often is in the form of killing reputations through name-calling (“You’re a homophobe!”), killing goodness through hatred, and killing truth through indifference and arrogance.
Thus, we have those who join in the so-called gay pride movement arrogantly thinking more of themselves and less of God and the truth He has revealed about sexual morality and the purpose of sexuality being for a husband and wife to join together to create life. Not just those people who brazenly live a homosexual lifestyle, but also those who are heterosexual but applaud so-called gay pride, are basically scoffing at God and declaring they are autonomous and can do whatever they want. They have embraced a false version of reality by believing and promoting the idea that sexual desires for members of the same-sex are natural and good – i.e., saying, “To hell with God!”
One way to blot out so-called pride month from your family’s life each June is for you and your kids to refuse to patronize businesses that have embraced perverted sexuality and thus through their “rainbow-marketing” are telling you, devout Christians, that you don’t matter. A more rewarding way to shun “Pride Month” is to direct your energies toward bringing back the specialness of June as the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Later this week, in the 2nd of this 2-part post, I’ll explain why focusing on the Sacred Heart, which is a form of devotion to Jesus historically highlighted in the month of June, can be you and your family’s way to counter the sexual deviancy and evil of so-called gay pride month.
A PRINCIPAL'S PRINCIPLES FOR PARENTING 
As always, you have provided a clear and easy-to-understand lesson on the subject matter and a viable defense to the never-ending onslaught of the wholly perverted left.
I have never understood how anyone could find “pride” in their sexual debauchery, but you articulately explained how it is the queen of the 7 Deadly Sins. It makes sense now.
This LMNOP* lifestyle is the single-most despised group in my head and heart. I regret I possess a disgust and hatred for these persons I am not proud of. Their self-righteous, in-your-face defence of their decrepit and truly unnatural and deviant behavior sickens me. However, God calls me to love everyone, and I must be and do better.
Thank you for standing up for what is right, and calling out these people (and their wrong-headed supporters) who – in the eyes of God – are wrong and spitting in His face.

It’s one thing to be attracted to the same sex but put forth effort to resist acting on this feeling. This is similar to how a heterosexual man might be attracted to a woman but refrains from sex outside of marriage. It’s a trial for both types and requires prudence and chaste choices. If one of these people fails to have the will power, he/she must repent and try again to live a chaste life.
It’s a whole different thing to revel in sinful sexual activity, to not repent because one believes it’s perfectly fine to have sex outside of authentic/biblical marriage, and to actively promote a type of sexual sin God disallows with parades and rainbow celebrations.

The deaf who deny they are deaf will never hear; the sinners who deny there is sin deny thereby the remedy of sin, and thus cut themselves off forever from Him Who came to redeem.
