Letter: Response to H-E-B sponsoring Temple Pride event

Texas Scorecard reports H-E-B Grocery’s CEO Charles Butt is sponsoring Temple Pride’s LGBTQ+ block party and drag queen show on May 27. To attract children, the event is offering free Kid Zone activities; story time; a Tap, Tap Art Bus; ring toss; bubbles and chalk.

Texas Scorecard also reported last year, H-E-B sponsored Austin’s Rainbow on the Creek Pride event. It included a Pride parade, drag queen story hour and a vile “family-friendly all ages” drag show.

Election Forum reports the “+” in the LGBTQ+ alphabet includes MAP—“minor-attracted persons,” or pedophiles.

Brazen lyrics to a 2021 San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus song include: “You think we’re sinful … You think that we’ll corrupt your kids if our agenda goes unchecked. Funny, just this once, you’re correct. … We’ll convert your children. … We’re coming for your children.”

The Bible describes such people as:

  • “evildoers that are corrupters” (Isaiah 1:4),
  • “enticers” (Proverbs 1:10),
  • “abusers of themselves with mankind,” “effeminate” (1 Corinthians 6:9),
  • “them that defile themselves with mankind” (1 Timothy 1:10),
  • having “vile affections” “against nature” (Romans 1:18-27),
  • “wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly” (Genesis 13:13),
  • “abominations unto God” (Leviticus 18:22; Deuteronomy 22:5), and
  • “sons of Belial”—the devil (Judges 19:22).

“Saith the LORD” it is a “horrible thing” to “strengthen the hands of evildoers.” “They are all of them unto me as Sodom and Gomorrah” (Jeremiah 23:11,14).

Are there 10 righteous people in Temple who will cry like Lot, “Do not so wickedly” (Genesis 18:20-32)?
