In June, the radical left celebrates the LGBTQ+ lifestyle with something known as ‘Pride Month.' Last week, President Joe Biden welcomed hundreds to the White House for a pride celebration. The LGBTQ+ agenda is out to destroy the Judeo-Christian worldview because that is the biggest impediment for the ultimate domination of its worldview. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, Rob and John discuss how pride month comes in direct conflict with a Biblical understanding of sex and gender, and how this movement isn’t about equal rights, but rather forcing everyone to bow the knee and submit to their ideology.
