Even the non-Christians who quietly disagree with Gay Pride don’t realise that they disagree with it because it is an explicit rejection of the Christian morality that shaped their society.
Pride is a cacophony of contradictions. It claims to be about one thing, when in reality it is about the opposite thing, undermining the very thing it claims to stand for. As I will explore below, this is a cultural rebellion against Christian values in particular.
The Fruit of Pride
I will illustrate this cacophony by offering some lines of commentary to a typical marketing pitch on the website for this year’s London Pride event before reflecting further on the implications for what we call Christendom.
As you read it, notice what Pride deigns to offer its would-be disciples. It is more than an act of public recognition, it is an alternative religion; and not just any religion, but an explicitly anti-Christian religion, rejecting its morals and mimicking its fruits. It promises love, joy, truth, freedom, beauty, community, and an empowered boldness to be “born again” not in Christ but in Pride.
