I'm Gay and I Like Rainbows

There I said it. (But please read all the way through, so there is no misunderstanding😀)

With all this blustering and such over the Duck Dynasty/A&E situation it has been giggle worthy to see the diversity movement try to give diversity a curb sandwich. Some guy from GLAAD decries what Phil Robertson says the Bible says about "gays" is "vile". It is serious. And it is seriously funny. Like belly-aching-laughing-funny!
GLAAD promotes males putting their male parts in the "back alley dumpster" and they think they know what "vile" means? Like, if you aren't laughing at them at this point you are wrong.

But doesn't this speak to two problems? One is understandable, the other is embarrassing. Both require repentance.

Problem one: Unregenerate mankind will warp everything. They take a word like "gay", which at one time meant "happy and carefree" and make it mean "I'm confused about my sexuality". They then take a biblical symbol that reminds us of Gods promise that He won't flood the earth again and churn it into a symbol of "diversity". And then they take that multi-colored banner and beat anybody who diverges from their definition of diversity. You know, anything for tolerance. And then there's the whole same sex marriage thing. ( One wise man man has rightly referred to it as "same sex mirage")
But this is understandable because they are not regenerated and renewed to salvation in Christ. Repentance can change that.

Problem two: Christians who don't laugh and fight. We need to do both. We laugh because the fight is already won and because it is really silly when people call good things dirty and dirty things good. Or say rainbows are about diversity. Or call two dudes holding hands a marriage. We need to fight for those things. And in doing so we need to be gay. Gay as in happy. Not angry that the sinner is acting like a sinner (for once, so also weren't we?) but happy that we are free to to no longer act like that and to come alongside and show others the freedoms that we now have. That's joy. And that is Christian combat. And we can repent for not fighting for rainbows, marriage and being joyful combatants. For not loving sinners properly. For waiting for somebody else to take the stand. For not being leaders. We should know better.

So I am happy (gay) and I love the promise (of rainbows) that God will not wipe us out in a worldwide flood again. And that marriage (in spite of what any earthly law says) is still between a man and a woman. And like Shakespeare has been known to say, that a rose by any other name is still a rose.
