The notion of Pride is problematic for Christians, because pride is one of the cardinal sins in our theology. But this kind of unhealthy pride is completely distinct from the Pride celebrated at Pride events. I dust off my rather unflattering “Christian & Proud” T-shirt, put on my clergy collar, and march in solidarity with my LGBTQ brothers and sisters-in-Christ. At Pride events there are saints and sinners and a mixture of both, as there are everywhere. LGBTQ Christians are called to embrace a holy sexual ethic of continence and faithfulness and covenant love – as are all Christians.
