Happy Pride Month from ToonHive!
This month, we celebrate every color of love, identity, and creativity within our LGBTQ+ animation community. Together, let’s continue building a world where everyone feels seen, valued, respected, and free to be their authentic selves. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Pastor Kristian A. Smith spoke about the people who say that homosexuality is a sin
“You can't really get through to Christians when talking about sexuality if you don't deal with what they believe about sin. It doesn't matter what you say. You can say, ‘You know, Q+ people—they're the entire music ministry. We wouldn't have a church without them,’ and so on and so forth —all of these valid points. But at the end of the day, it always comes back to ‘but it's sinful.’
So in my theology, I deal with that directly. If the greatest commandment is the core of Jesus's message—because when he was asked, ‘What's the greatest?’ He said, ‘This is it. Everything hinges on this’ —then if love is the greatest commandment (love for God, neighbor, and self), the first rule of love is ‘do no harm.’ If I love you, I'm going to at least commit to not harming you. I can't help everybody—I’m a finite human being—but I can make a commitment to not harm anybody. So if the first commitment of love is ‘do no harm,’ then sin is anything that causes harm. That’s why I barely even use the term "sin" anymore. I talk about harm. Because sin is harm, and harm is sin. If something is not harming anybody, then it’s not a sin.
And if you can reorient your understanding of sin, maybe you can start to think differently about same-gender-loving people and trans people who are just living their lives, not harming anybody. They’re simply trying to live their truth. So then the question becomes: if they’re just trying to live their lives without harming anyone, and you, as a Christian, are condemning them and pushing them down, then you are the one causing harm. Right? So you are the one living in sin.”

Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
Yall better be proud of yourselves every day, not just June. We will win against the oppression that the current administration so desperately wants to pin on us. We will protect our community, all of us, and we will win because we are stronger than hate. I love you guys so much

Don't let straight people tell you not to "make being gay your personality." Straight people base their entire lives around dating, marriage.
They consistently allow gender and sexuality to influence their friendships & personal relationships.
