Sin Or LGBTQ+ -Pride Month

It’s close to the ending of June, and in hell, Lust, Wrath, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, and Pride are sitting at the round table. Ency is the first to speak. “Pride, I envy you. You get your own mouth to celebrate you but none of us do.” Greed speaks us next. “We need out own months! I need more then one!” Pride bursts out into laughter and wrath turns red with anger. “What’s so funny, bitch?” He growls. Pride calms down enough to explain. “Pride month isn’t about me, but something much better. The LGBTQ+ community.” Gluttony speaks up, talking with food in his mouth. “The what?” Pride rolls his eyes. “Like gays and lesbians, bisexuals and asexuals, aromantic and polyamory, transgender, and so on.” Sloth is first to understand. They open their eyes. “Oh them!” They yawn before closing their eyes again. Pride smiles. “Yes, them. It’s a month dedicated to them.” Lust finally speaks. “Why don’t non-gays get a month?” Pride scowls before continuing. “Do they deal with discrimination and disrespect just because of who they love? I don’t think so. Are they considered less of a human and criminal? Nope. Are they thought to be sick? Still no.” Pride finished. Now the others understood.
