Letter: Pride Month has once again come to successful fruition

Christians calling all LGBTQS2S+ abominations need to review Christ’s teachings

To the Expositor:

Another very successful Pride Month has come to a close. 

Throughout the month I have been busy advocating for the equality of all human beings regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation. 

This past month advocating for the LGBTQ2S+ community has been eye-opening, to say the least.

Sadly, it has shown me that there is still, in the year 2024, prejudice, bigotry and hate against LGBTQ2S+ individuals and community in both Canada, the United States and right here in our own back yard in Ontario.

It seems to come from everywhere; sometimes politically motivated, sometimes religiously motivated, sometimes socially motivated.

Some rhetoric is so extreme as to have stated that “all transsexual human beings are mentally ill.”

Many use religious beliefs to justify bigotry and hate with statements like “all LGBTQ2S+ people are abominations and are going to hell!

This is really sad to hear from some (not all) of the Christians that are saying it. As history tells us clearly that the brown man, Jew and prophet Jesus Christ preached love, acceptance, diversity and equality for all human beings. Never once did Jesus Christ condemn or speak against any LGBTQ2S+ individual and I truly believe that if he walked the earth today he would be extremely upset that people were being bigoted and hateful to their fellow human beings in the LGBTQ2S+ community “in his name.”

I hope people will reflect on this and hopefully support equality for all human beings on Mother Earth.

Thank you,
