Department of Public Works employee Eric Batman claims that having to see a Progress Pride flag flying outside the department’s Alhambra, California, headquarters during the month of June effectively forces him to “celebrate, recognize, and solemnize conduct and actions that he views as sin” in conflict with his sincerely held Christian religious beliefs, according to a lawsuit filed in March by anti-LGBTQ+ evangelical nonprofit the Liberty Counsel.

Nowhere in the Bible does it mention the Pride flag.

There is pride and there is Pride

The first has Christ on their side

The latter knows not battle won

And thus cast out brightest sun

B happy b love but know divinity

Server client holy internet trinity

World b illusion the Buddha sed

The wolf inside is the wolfs fed

Entanglement is all u r made of

Make sure knot not lust but luv

Just so their's no misunderstanding by the illiterate and ignorant, I'm saying Jesus stands with us LGBTQ+ people. Therein, with no cultural structure to enforce positive behavior, the sexually immoral people (rapists, molesters, public masturbators, peeping Toms, etc) don't get the same feedback to save themselves from themselves.
