Rose Bowl Losing Its Petals


Rose-Bowl-Losing-Its-Petalsby: Allen Domelle

The Los Angeles Times reported on December 29th, that the Rose Bowl parade is allowing two sodomites to get married on a Rose Bowl float. It’s saddening to see the Rose Bowl Parade losing its petals by supporting this wicked lifestyle.

According to the Times, The Aids Healthcare Foundation’s float was going to allow two sodomite men to take their “marriage” vows on the float during the parade. According to the Times, foundation spokesman Ged Kenslea said the organization supports legally sanctioning same-sex marriage because it encourages more stable relationships among gay men as well as behavior that will prevent the spread of HIV.

The Rose Bowl has for years been a parade that many Americans watched on New Year’s Day. It’s saddening to see they are crumbling to the pressure of the political left to allow this to taint their once revered parade.

With this decision they have forced people to make a decision whether or not to watch the parade. Let me simply say that to watch the parade is to support their sodomite agenda. To sit and say that you don’t support this lifestyle, but to watch the parade and give them ratings for future advertising is sending a message that there is no price to pay for supporting this illicit lifestyle.

The Scriptures make it very clear what we should do in Psalm 101:3 when it says, “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.” The Scriptures make it very clear that we are not to watch wickedness, and sodomy is wicked. Whether or not they actually show it on television is not the issue, for you can be assured that it will be mentioned by the commentators.

It seems to be an unending battle with the sodomites pushing their wicked lifestyle upon the American people. As much as sodomy is in the news, you would think that there is a large portion of Americans who are practicing sodomites. However, according to a February 2013 Gallup poll, only 3.5% of Americans identify themselves as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Why hasn’t the news media covered this statistic? The reason is because they have an agenda to make it seem that this is an acceptable lifestyle. It is the news media’s way of sticking their finger in God’s eye.

Friend, we are encouraged in 2 Thessalonians 3:13, “But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.” You may think your voice is not heard, but as we learned from the A&E debacle, our voice can make a difference. Don’t be weary with standing for right. Continue standing and let your voice be heard.

I encourage every reader to do two things. First, contact the Tournament of Roses headquarters and voice your displeasure. Second, don’t watch the parade unless they agree to cancel this farce of a “marriage.”
