Opposing Pride Front Royal Event and Its Ideologies

In light of the upcoming Pride Front Royal event, we are writing to the Warren County community.

A celebration based entirely on the unnatural use of one’s genitals is a bizarre affront to common decency and the natural law.   The use of the term “pride” is telling since, as C.S. Lewis said, “Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.”

Drag queen shows are denigrating and demeaning to real women.  These events, in which males dress up as sexually exaggerated, stereotypical caricatures of females, are, in the words of West Texas A&M President Walter Wendler, “derisive, divisive and demoralizing misogyny, no matter the stated intent.”

Drag queen shows are the moral equivalent of blackface.  Attorney and journalist Kelly Kleiman states, “The same arguments that forged the cultural consensus against blackface should forge a consensus against drag.”  In her essay Drag = Blackface, she further states, “The parallels between drag and blackface are so obvious that it seems bizarre that the intellectual consensus against blackface has not formed against drag.”  And yet Pride Front Royal sees nothing wrong with the degrading drag queen show they are bringing to Front Royal.

Furthermore, Pride Front Royal, in promoting the alphabet soup acronym, has aligned itself with the false ideology of the so-called “transgender” movement, the T in the acronym.  This anti-science movement believes that males can become females and vice versa.  This movement has captured the educational and medical establishments in this country and most major corporations.   We see this in our local library being led by the nose by the American Library Association and buying with our tax dollars a plethora of books being pushed by the major publishers to indoctrinate our children.

Supporters of this movement prey on impressionable children, grooming them into believing they are in the “wrong” body and encouraging them to “transition” to the other sex.  They promote “gender-affirming care,” in which children are given powerful drugs and surgeries.  Yet this “gender-affirming care” has a 100% failure rate.  No male has been turned into a female, and vice versa.  Instead, the boy remains a boy with male DNA but now with a mutilated body, and the girl remains a girl with female DNA, now with a mutilated body.  This is child abuse.  If you support Pride Front Royal, you are supporting child abuse.  Likewise, if you support the ALA dictating our local library’s policies in purchasing books such as I Am Jazz, you are supporting child abuse.

We invite our fellow Christians in Warren County to pray for the conversion of these confused people as well as the children who have been abused and mutilated by these ideologues.  Everyone is a child of God, but we are all sinners in need of the redemption of Jesus.  “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
