An entire month of pretending that the most celebrated, included, accepted people in our culture are victims of oppression. The people who redefined the concepts of marriage, love, gender, and diversity spend four full weeks pantomiming a struggle for acceptance. The craven passions of this privileged class are unanimously approved as virtues.
Every recognizable corporate brand is festooned with rainbows. Every celebrity icon is bowed in reverence. Every franchise in every sports category acknowledges the greatness of the LGBT community. Every institution with any cultural influence heaps praise and love upon them.
Yet, they’re telling us that we still have a long way to go.
Apparently, having the undying devotion of our society is not enough. The undivided attention of our whole nation is not bringing satisfaction. Something is still missing. They have some distance to cover on their journey toward contentment. That’s a truly terrifying realization because there’s nowhere else to go.
The movement already has everything we can give them. They occupy the tippy-top of our society’s cultural ladder. They are the winners. They are the champions. And they’re spending the month of June desperately telling us that it’s all worthless.
(Luke 12:20)“But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.”

Perhaps if they had read Ecclesiastes first, they would have known that it was all going to be worthless.
