Why Christians should feel conflicted by Pride month

How should Christians who hold a traditional, orthodox view of sexuality and gender engage with Pride month? Andy Robinson says we must consider three things

In June 1970, the first Pride marches took place in three cities in the US. Two years later, London held its first Pride event. In the nearly five decades since, there has been huge growth. This month will see Pride flags all over schools, supermarkets and city centres around the world.

So how should the Church respond? It is easy to feel afraid, to fear that an alternative religion is taking over our public spaces, forcing us to join in the worship. For many, that will lead to anger. For others, perhaps particularly those working in or having children in the public sector, there’s confusion. How do I respond when my children or I am invited (or instructed) to participate in a Pride event?
