Pride Month Is Almost Over
June 26, 2020
LGBTQ pride, that is. The Pentagon’s annual LGBTQ Pride event was cancelled this year over coronavirus concerns. Why do I continually point out things like this? Because most conservative Christians still consider the military to be a holy institution. Shame on them. If you doubt what I am saying, then go to a conservative evangelical church this Sunday or next Sunday (July 4th is on a Saturday this year) and you will probably see a patriotic service where the military is praised over and over again for defending our freedoms. You know, like the freedoms to abstain from wearing a mask and not practice social distancing.
