All I see are red flags... a trans priest in a children's hospital? Yikes.

If you're going to decorate a chapel with anti-Christian imagery, why stop at the LGBT stuff? You might as well hang up pentagrams and Baphomet paintings at that point. Maybe have a fire pit in the middle made from a pile of Holy Bibles. Go big or go home.

Next up I think we should put up a bunch of pictures of Mohammed as an anthropomorphic pig in the prayer rooms for Otherkin pride month. And see how well that goes over.

One reason why this happens to christians specifically is they do tend to be passive and ignore it. If only they'd follow Jesus' example take down the pride flags and fashion them into a whip to expel the death merchants from the temple.

People take the "turn the other cheek" part way to serious and forget that Jesus himself tore down temples and made examples of sinners.

This whole free love hippy dippy bullshit Jesus is not it fam, he was a lot more violent than people are letting on.

Also Christians tend to be cowards and will bend at the knee for anyone shitting on them so they don't look like the Westboro Baptist Church members, when really keeping trannies away from children isn't bad, it's logical and it goes against Christian ideology to accept them in the first place (it even goes against biology and science as well but you know "trust the science")

The gender theorists are now all over divinity schools, aided by the fact that the Bible doesn't really have a lot to say about it since most of it was made up in the last century. Oh, I know there are things in it about cross-dressing, but that's not quite the same thing as claiming you have some kind of female soul trapped in man's body or vice-versa.

They’re infecting everywhere they can get their grubby little fingers. The super-progressive denominations, as this one seems to be, were easy pickings. They’re working on the more conservative ones like the Presbyterian/Anglicans but they run into the Africa problem, denominations with large African (and Asian too) congregations aren’t as willing to wave Progress Pride flags because those pesky POCs have more traditional Christian values.

There's also some very conservative typically-white congregations that won't put up with this crap. If my denomination did, I'd walk out mid service and go elsewhere. I won't tolerate it.

(Note: My congregation is very mixed and my denomination does not consider itself "white". We don't care what colour you are, only that you believe in Jesus.)

Comforting the children in their hour of need shouldn't include blowjobs.

Hard to believe this is real.

A trans chaplain and the NHS faced a backlash from parents of terminally and gravely ill children after a prayer room was covered with LGBT flags for Pride month.

Maxwell Reay, a transgender man, activist and minister at a United Reformed Church in Edinburgh is also in charge of 'spiritual care' at the city's famous Sick Kids hospital.

A spokesman for NHS Lothian said: 'The flags were used as temporary decoration in the sanctuary to mark the Pride day of celebration.'

But one practising Christian family - who is related to a terminally ill toddler that uses the facility - said she was left 'shaking with anger' after the prayer room was transformed.

They claim the room is being used for 'activism' for a cause that is in conflict with their religious beliefs.

The room - which is called the 'sanctuary' but was labelled a 'chill out zone' by a rainbow sign - is intended to be a 'space for quiet reflection, prayer or meditation', according to the hospital's website.

The hospital claimed the 'chill out zone' sign had been left up due to an error and is now removed.

But parents arrived to find the area decked in flags - including one denoting polyamory, where people have sexual relationships with more than one person.

One clinician from the children's hospital claimed it had been turned into a 'social issues battlefield', with the flags amounting to the 'blatant sexualisation of children'.

A string of bunting also includes the genderfluid flag, where people do not have a fixed gender, and the agender flag, where people do not believe they have a gender.

This is not good.

But, they are now operating in the open.

Modern problems require ancient solutions.

The solution is to not hire some divisive twat to run your children's hospital chapel.

Like you should not be putting up divisive symbols or anything controversial in a hospital chapel. It's supposed to be a spot where grieving people can pray essentially. Forget the pride flag, even if they're throwing in overtly catholic symbolism or Mormon symbolism or anything else it's not exactly appropriate for the venue.
