Some parts of the world are suffering from severe weather lately.
California is suffering from a terrible drought. New York and other parts of the Eastern USA (CT, MA, MD, DE, NJ, DC, etc.) are having a severe winter, as well as MN. They are even getting short of road salt in places.
The United Kingdom (England) is suffering from terrible flooding.
What do all of the above places have in common? They all legitimized toeivah ‘marriage’ in recent years, thereby incurring Divine wrath upon them.
Now I know that some people will point to other places, where there are weather difficulties even though they didn’t adopt such a change. Others will say that we are not nevi’im (prophets) and do not know why things happen. There is some truth to what they say. It could be that the other places have incurred divine wrath in other ways though. And Hashem doesn’t make things too obvious, so other places can get hit as well. We do need to introspect when disasters occur, however, as the great Rambam
has written, and not just shrug off such occurrences.
If those people lived in the time of yetzias mitzrayim (exodus from Egypt), would they have claimed that the makkos (ten plagues) were due to ‘climate change’ then, and ignore their message as well? People need to wake up and speak out against the abomination.
P.S. It is obvious that the frum community is not the cause of the toeivah movement, generally speaking. Nevertheless, we should make it clear that we strongly protest it and consider it a major problem, unlike some modern and ‘open orthodox’ types. And that we advocate repealing the changes legalizing toeivah ‘marriage’, not just ignoring it after it was pushed through improperly.

I live in WA. Gay stuff is totally legal here, and we have gevaldig weather.
Clearly that’s because of the pot. God loves pot more than he hates gays.
That is clearly the best and most logical explanation.
I guess Uganda will have nice weather after passing a anti-gay law.
Decreed in heaven to be clear and sunny for the next 1,000 years.
It’s depressing how many frumpies and fundies actually believe this
I though it was already unanimously agreed upon that the gays cause earthquakes. Pinning bad weather on the gays opens a whole new can of worms. Let’s not go there.
I have always meant to plot natural disasters against gay laws on a graph in order to definitely prove that Pat Robertson and Ovadia Yosef (z”l) are / were wrong on this one. You could probably also show that places with fewer Jews have more natural disasters. But that might reveal that places in America with lots of Jews tend to be pretty liberal, including on the gay issue, and then where would we be …
Was on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2012, greeted by the Chabad menorah en route from airport to hotel and able to purchase fleishig as a lambburger from the Chabad restaurant. Gorgeous weather that Hanukkah and for those there, the following Hanukkah as well, even though in-between Hawaii had approved gay marriage with little opposition. To be fair, the Big Island has some active volcanoes where tourists to the National Park can see steam coming from the caldera. In other parts of the state lava flows and on Molakai there is a currently dormant leper colony awaiting the return of legislature induced tzora-at. But so far there have been no tsunamis, no increase in wipe-outs of individual surfers and no return of cannibalism or related tzoris.
Iran kills gay people and yet they have earthquakes.
