Maybe it's a victory march. The war is over and they/them feel they've won.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

They better be well adjusted riding like that, or some very unfortunate squishing could occur.

In regards to the naked Seattle cyclists, at first I thought this was just the Fremont solstice parade.  Naked and painted cyclists of both sexes have been riding in the parade since the 90's without much controversy, but this is a different parade.

So what would their reaction have been if a bunch of straight guys marched in a parade exposing themselves to the children present?

From the link

Quote
On a recent afternoon, while running errands before I had to pick up my kids from school, I froze in the orange-juice aisle of a big-box store. So many different brands lay before me: Minute Maid, Simply, Tropicana, Dole, Florida’s Natural, Sunny D—not to mention the niche organic labels. And each brand offered juices with various configurations of pulp, vitamins, and concentrate. The sheer plenitude induced a kind of paralysis: Overwhelmed by the choices on offer, I simply could not make one. I left the store without any orange juice.

Anyone who calls Sunny-D orange juice is asking to be slapped

Narrative trumps science.
Very troubling if true

St. Philip's College in San Antonio, Texas reportedly fired one of its biology professors for teaching his students that sex was determined by X and Y chromosomes.
Quote
"When teaching the human reproductive system, Dr. Varkey also stated that human sex is determined by chromosomes X and Y, and that reproduction must occur between a male and a female to continue the human species," First Liberty stated in its letter. "In the course of teaching Human Anatomy and Physiology, he made these statements in every class for 20 years, without any incident or complaint."

^^^^

There's a lot of crazy in this world, as this thread shows, but that one I might want some more info on before I jumped whole hog into the narrative.

It smack of one of those stories where "PROF WAS FIRED FOR TELLING THE TRUTH!!!!1!! and also *expletive deleted*ing a student. "

Anytime a story seems a little too on the nose, it deserves a closer look.

I had the same thought, but it wouldn’t exactly be the first time activists have gotten confused about their own ideas about sex and gender.

Training them young

Quote
An organization at the Seattle Pride parade hosted a booth on Sunday encouraging kids to throw toy bricks at pictures of notable Republicans.

In a video captured by Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial, a man cheers and converses with a young child who repeatedly attempts to throw a plush toy brick into the middle of a display painted to look like a wall.

The center of the wall has a large hole with a sign that reads "Basket of Deplorables" and features pictures of notable Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. and Rep. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

The makeshift sign also includes pictures of Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justices such as Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh.

One of these days, we need to stop with that response or at least come up with a different way of saying it.  For the most part, people on the right would not encourage people to throw bricks at the left. 



Besides, we are generally gun owners and wouldn't bother with through bricks if it came to violence.   >:D

Another one.

Looked to me like he was reading in a normal voice, and it was one guy. The tolerant left could have just bypassed him and ignored him. Instead, they showed us who they are.

What group on the right, even proud boys, patriot front or whoever have ever acted like this? This is all the left.
