Default Mpls Gay Pride Weekend !

An event that I look forward to all year. This year, a fundie, Brian Johnson, will be there. In past years, he has had a "Pro-Life" booth, for at least ten years. I guess that he has finally figured out that lesbians have Very few unwanted pregnancies, and gay men, even fewer. So he is going to be there, passing out bibles, and preaching Leviticus.

I guess that he must have created quite a ruckus, because for the first time in 10 years, the local gay community has taken him, and the local Pride committee to court, to try and get him banned. EDIT: While very vocal, he has little theological education, beyond extensive reading of the King James Bible.

He and I have had long discussions, and polite disagreements for at least ten years. I will point out to him that I have never met a gay man or lesbian who has ever admitted that there was eve a time in their life when they chose to be attracted to the same sex. or that it was ever a choice at all. They were simply born that way, which pretty much means that God created them that way. Which means that Leviticus, which was written by men, is wrong.

Happy Pride, gotta run, BruceChris
