Choosing mostly to skim the threads because I don’t have problem with people not wearing these armbands, but one common thread between both is the complaint of “If you’re so religious, why don’t you protest the gambling and alcohol sponsors which are everywhere and way more frequent than rainbow armbands”, which I don’t really have an answer for, but am just curious how you all would handle that question.
I'm not sure that gambling or alcohol is inherently a sin. It's arguable sure, but in my opinion it's more the love of money/materialism and the overuse of alcohol that's sinful. I'd certainly support him if he wanted to speak out against those sponsorships though.
Homosexuality and sexual immorality on the other hand is specifically banned by the bible despite what fake churches may say. It's quite clear. It's not that having sex with men is only sinful when you do it excessively, it's sinful all of the time.
Jesus drank alchool (wine), and it's part of the Church ritual in Christianity. So alchool isn't a sin by default.
Getting drunk ( and doing drugs in general ), as using ressources to pursue useless pleasures and impairing your decision making, is a sin on a similar level to over-eating.
It is as a warning not to let yourself fall into depravity.
You can consider special occasions in moderation are not considered depravity, otherwise Jesus wouldn't have changed water into wine for the wedding feast at Cana.
