Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) tweets about “Pride Month.”
Today, we kick off Pride Month. 🏳️🌈
This Pride, we know that LGBTQ+ rights are under attack, and we’ll never stop fighting for LGBTQ+ Americans.

Even intimating (or in this case, tweeting around the letter salad bush) that sinful perversions are acceptable is wrong. The Senate Democratic Leader is one of the most prominent U.S. lawmakers, and his signaling to many people, perhaps some impressionable, that forms of sexual immorality are all right is a dangerous, dangerous place. This type of tweet is not revelatory of being just a little bit off track, nor does it appear as a mistake.
There is a faction of people who force their sinful, perverted thinking on the rest of society. Perhaps they are unwell. Regardless, what they do has the power to ruin many things for many other people. They are allowed, as evidenced by such a tweet, to pervade a “burn it all down” mentality. Their disregard of God’s created order and design is wrong. Their embracing of sinful activity, starting with the usage of the word “pride,” is wrong. Their refusal to love their neighbor is wrong. And their abuse of freedom and harassment of other Americans is wrong.
A shrug of the shoulders avoids the problem. Suppressing concern until the enemy stands on the doorstep strategically fails. Wilful ignorance burdens others. Half-hearted, thoughtless tantrums suck energy. Rambling and obnoxious rhetoric fracture communication. Waiting until an opportune time bypasses opportune time. Truth is powerful. It pierces deeply.
