Two of the biggest casualties of the LGBTQ movement are male friendships, and tomboys.

I am utterly disgusted of how these people rush to imply brotherhood means erotic relationship.

"Those who cannot conceive friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a friend."
C. S. Lewis

Edit: I commented this before finishing the video. I should've known Trent would have noted it!

Unfortunately, the term, "daddy" can have sexual connotation.

Imagine watching home movies of a family where the children call their father "daddy" and arguing that those children were in an innappropriate relationship with their father.

Thats what is happening here.

[ghostapostle]

I understand Tren'ts frustation at this point. It's digusting how they try to twist the life of the saints for their degenerate agenda.

[Womb_to_Tomb_Apologetics]

They can't conceive of a relationship that doesn't involve sex. Sad. 😢

Every time someone implies Frodo and Sam were more than just friends, an Ainur loses its wings.

[Eh-Mungu-Nguvu-Yetu-qp]

I completely understand why homosexual people have a hard time imagining 2 men cant love each other deeply without being sexual.
It's the same thing as how some men don't think they can have a relationship with a woman without being sexual. It is a lust problem.

[nickw]

This guy only trying to convince himself. The fact that homosexuality is a grave sin is an infallible dogma.

[Ben-lhjg]

The LGBT movement has absolutely destroyed male comradery. You can hardly hug another guy in public without people thinking "gay". Believe it or not, guys can show affection for one another without having sexual desires.

[Daniel-syuj]

Hey Trent! Thanks for rebutting the nonsense of the people who attempt to rewrite the history of Christianity. God bless.

[matthewcarr]

People always use these mental gymnastics to try to justify their sinful ways.

[adambombdiggidy]

I've seen a lot of people try to do this in fiction as well. Especially with Frodo and Sam from Lord of the Rings. Like, have y'all never had a homie you'd go on an adventure and carry up a mountain for???

[katydidd]

> sighs < These people are so tiresome.

[Couponkingdom]

This reminds me of the argument that Christ himself was gay. Because Saint John was his "beloved" and he left him to care for his mother.

They'll latch onto anything.

[jrivxxi]

Yet if we were to revise established Gay history, we would be attacked wouldn’t we? The double standard is infuriating

[supernerd]

Short answer to video question: No
Long Answer: Absolutely not

Adelphopoesis was also practiced by nobles in many other countries, in truth it's mostly was a get out of "supporting the state by leaving your estate witouth an heir" card, by finding someone who is of noble blood and who may sire offspring and thus gift that "brother of yours" in wealth, ofc I'm not of the byzantine rite and I only studied it as a medieval (and pre civil state) law to fix inheritance issues.

Buuut if you would have a relationship with your brother in blood you are sick. Also, having a deep and caring friendship, being interpreted as gay is showing how few deep friendships they had.

Ugh, Mason Mennenga. Good on you for rebutting his blatant revisionist nonsense Trent
