MLB Warns Players That Christian Views Toward Homosexuality Will Not Be Tolerated

Looking at these “Pride Night” spectacles, it's hard not to think of the old Dionysian cult festivals of the ancient world. The modern LGBT cult may not be offering wine to a Greek god, but the similarities between the movements are difficult to ignore.

Dionysus—literally the effeminate god of ancient queerdom—represented ecstasy, excess, the suspension of ordinary restraints, and the deliberate destruction of social boundaries. His festivals were celebrations of liberation from order itself, especially sexual order.

The modern Pride movement presents itself in exactly the same way—as a celebration of sexual transgression, a public declaration that traditional moral boundaries should be discarded and replaced with personal autonomy as the highest virtue.
