The "gay agenda" | LZ Granderson | TEDxGrandRapids

Ойын-сауық

I'm sure you've heard a lot about the gay agenda but few outside of the gay community have actually seen it. Tired of living in secrecy, LZ Granderson is ignoring protocol and will not only talk about the exact content of the agenda but show audiences a copy of it.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

    Wanna hear a joke? When people heard about marriage equality in the United States, they said to themselves that they were moving to Canada... Canada has had marriage equality long before the U.S.

    This ted talk made me think of something. You know, fellow gays, instead of yelling at and fighting with people because they say something "offensive" let's begin to fight for some actual issues like the ones this guy here is talking about. I know this took place 5 years ago, and some if not most of those issues are probably resolved, but my point still stands. Let's fight for real issues instead of getting offended by every little thing as i've seen some of us do.

Im not saying all gays are super sensitive or easily offended, but it seems today its somewhat of a trend for people in general to get offeded very easily over the smallest things. Instead, we should be trying to improve the world we live in rather than verbally beat someone up for saying something we dont like or agree with.

    as a christian asexual panromantic I can say half of that statement is true. There are some "Christians" that really hate Lgbtq+ but the other half are actually really nice and accept others for who they are! I came out to my church and they were really supportive and love me the way I am! For real Chistians (the people that accept anyone) we are really ashamed for the people that say they are christian and have the 'I hate' attitude because then others start making fun of actual christians who don't have a problem with the LGBTQ comunity and just make them feel bad too. I honestly want us all to be equal and care for people just how God would've wanted it to

Second a Christian does not change God's rules for their advantage they submit and accept the rules that God made. The problem is with the Christian that accept homosexuality is that they are not Christians they are putting there own inturpritation on God's laws. Which is wrong that's what Satan did inturpritated gods rule to eat the forbidden fruit. I hate to say it but anyone who changes God's laws are not Christians I'd even say they are Satan's workers used to deceive the lost and confused.

The point is, because the political spin cannot be trusted- Biden goes back on his words and that was an example. I'm not implying the Democrats would hinder GLBTQ rights, but they may not enhance them much more? - Oh yeah, better than the more corrupt republicans, but things can turn back for the worst in social justice... Just look how political the judiciary is? This aspect is not in the interests of democracy- the Roe verses Wade current debacle by people that should not be political in justice.
