This is not surprising after fifty years of communist dominance and education in the classrooms: it is now more socially tolerable and easier for students to declare they are gay than it is for them to consider they are Christians in general.  ,

The outcome would be the same everywhere else in the Western world, including, or perhaps particularly, in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, but it only takes a minute or two to realize that this is by no means a Northern European issue.
According to testimony uncovered during the ongoing investigation into Relationship and Sexuality Education ( RSE ) at Stormont,” students are finding it more challenging to reveal their Christian faith than their sexual orientation in schools across Northern Ireland,” according to The Christian Post.
David Smyth, a “representative of the Evangelical Alliance Northern Ireland,” was giving that witness. He claimed that some students find it “much more challenging” to be an Evangelical Christian in a classroom than it is to be an LGBT, which is natural.
After all, both below in the United States and Northern Ireland celebrate Pride Month. Belfast Pride Festival proudly announces ( could it possibly have done it any other way? )? that it is “one of Belfast’s biggest events with more than 150 events over the course of ten days.” In 2023, we had over 75, 000 persons attend”. Then: when is Christian Month in Northern Ireland? How many people are there? Which one is celebrated in modern Western popular culture and which is not?

A couple of young males with rainbow flags tucked around their shoulders and color ink on their faces are featured on the Belfast Pride Festival’s house site. Neither of them looks all that gay, as in happy, but the purple-haired woman, or whatever, standing behind them ( their mother? ) as she clutches her” I Am Who I Declare I Am” mark, which Amnesty International graciously provided, she smirks fiercely at the camera.
There is no denying that the person who took the picture received nothing but positive feedback at the pleasure occasion she was a part of, if she is indeed the mother of these guys ( or whatever she may have in mind ). She is likely to have received praise and applause for decking out her wee lads ( this is Belfast, after all ) out in gay garb and parading them around to show her pride in being whatever she thinks she is because she is swimming with the tide of the culture.  ,
Imagine, on the other hand, if a Christian mother of two young lads had taken her children out to a Christian parade, crosses or graphics in hands. While Western society has n’t (yet? ) there is no denying that she would n’t receive the applause that her gay counterpart would likely receive for attending the Pride event, even though she has degenerated to the point where she could expect mockery, abuse, and threats.

When attending any public high school in the United States these days, students are frequently told how” gutsy” and “brave” they are, when all they really are are are confused younger people who are responding to the almost universal respect and deference given to the “gay society.” In other words, it’s nice to become gay. Young Pride festival visitors would need to travel to Iran or Saudi Arabia for that because there is nothing remotely “brave” about it in the American world today.

It is, however, extremely stupid to become Christian, which is as it should be, as Jesus Himself said:” If the world hates you, realize that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you” ( John 15: 18-19 ). However, there have been instances where our country enjoyed substantially better political health than it does now because of the lack of the all-encompassing social stigma associated with being a people Christian.

In the final examination, the West has exchanged one faith for another. When asked if he believed teachers were “effectively changing children’s minds to force an agenda of some kind,” David Smyth was questioned. Smyth responded by pointing out that leftism is the dominant culture today, and posing the question,” Is it secular blasphemy to believe that a man cannot biologically change into a woman?” Why, yes. Yes, it is. And how many babies, just as they are learning to make their way in this cruel world, wish to be known as blasphemers?
