Why Christians Don’t Need to Worry About Offending People by Celebrating Christmas
Corporations and people who won't let you escape Pride Month couldn't care less if you like it or not
Every June corporations rainbow wash their logos to celebrate Pride Month where LGBT rights exist and are accepted while avoiding doing the same in places where activism is needed most like in the Middle East.
They don’t want to offend Islamic sensitivities where homosexuality is punishable by death. That could cost them a lot of money in those countries while corporations like Target haul in profits in America by selling coffee mugs decorated with they/them pronouns. It’s another example of the Left only doing activism where it’s easy since they avoid offending Muslims who don’t agree with them at all costs.
Christians use Christmas for making profits and they hide the message of the holiday while doing it. Employees are instructed not to say “Merry Christmas” for fear of offending people and not being inclusive of those who don’t celebrate the holiday. It’s embarrassing that Christians caved to this pressure by letting themselves get excluded when the Left’s version of inclusion gets practiced.
People who observe Pride Month don’t hide what they celebrate. There’s nothing like “Happy Holidays” for it to water down its message. There’s no concern from them about offending anyone who doesn’t celebrate other people’s sexual preferences or radical gender beliefs. They think everyone must celebrate and participate no matter how you feel about their behaviors and ideas.
It’s time for people who celebrate Christmas to be as unashamed about their beliefs as the LGBT activists are during Pride Month. Christians have a responsibility to not let the culture’s celebration of Christmas with Santa Claus and presents overshadow the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Christians should do this in a loving way and not call people bigots who don’t accept their beliefs as LGBT activists would.

Christians need to do a better job explaining what Christmas means to them as people who celebrate Pride Month spread their message. Since you can talk about LGBT issues in school, but not the real meaning of Christmas, Christians have an important responsibility to spread the good news. They need to do their part to de-secularize the culture and bring conversations about a loving God back into regular discussions.
This needs to happen in workplaces too if your company puts rainbows everywhere for Pride. Some companies do have spaces to talk about faith, but conversations never get elevated to the focus of left-wing or social justice ones. American Express would never put Christian or Jewish symbols over their logos for sacred times for those faiths. Employees who want that should ask for an explanation of why that doesn’t happen for them but does for other causes.
Workplaces and schools are obsessed with what they deem “equity” to mean on any given day depending on the new current thing. People of faith must demand their celebrations and ideas get the same treatment. If institutions don’t, explanations are deserved and required to people of faith who have their beliefs marginalized by left-wing ideology. They should play the same game and define equity on their terms since nobody worries about offending them.
