Obama more than tolerant of homosexual lifestyle
Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 6/5/2009 5:00:00 AMA leader in the Southern Baptist Convention says President Barack Obama's recent proclamation designating a homosexual "pride" month goes beyond mere tolerance.

Earlier this week, the White House released a proclamation recognizing June as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month." The proclamation was signed by President Obama and mentioned the record number of homosexuals he has nominated and chosen for positions in his administration. It also called for equal justice under the law for homosexuals and transgendered Americans. (See earlier story)

Dr. Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, says the proclamation advocates more than mere tolerance.

"The United States federal government, now by executive order, signed by the President of the United States, is declaring national pride in these lifestyles," he contends. "This is not mere toleration; it's not calling for legalization, an end to criminal sanctions. It's not calling even for something like civil unions...it's calling for pride."

Scripture, Mohler points out, does not allow Christians to be proud of sin.

"Pride" for such a condition is ludicrous anyway. Should we have a heterosexual "pride" day? Even unbelievers should see the folly in this, and I'm sure many do. America is just to steeped in sin to do anything about it.
