Androgynous goddess Ashtoreth: The “Patron Saint” of the PRIDE LGBTQIA Movement
Ashtoreth, also known as Ishtar, Aphrodite, and Venus, is an ancient “androgynous goddess” with a complex history and association with transgenderism. She was initially from Mesopotamia and took on different names and roles in different cultures.
The various names of Astarte
The deity Astarte, also known as Ashtoreth, Asherah, and Ishtar, originates from ancient Near Eastern civilizations. Revered for fertility, war, and love, she held various names across different regions. In Canaanite belief, she was linked to Baal, while the Bible portrays her as Ashtoreth or Ashtaroth, which is associated with offerings.
Astarte shared attributes with Anath, possibly seen as one deity initially. The Hebrew depiction of Ashtoreth could stem from the Greek Astarte and Hebrew “Boshet,” reflecting disdain for her cult, which is evident in the Bible’s portrayal.

Astaroth: Female Deity to Male Demon
Astaroth, a male figure in demonology, is likely a derivate from the Near Eastern goddess Astarte. As the Great Duke of Hell, Astaroth is associated with Beelzebub and Lucifer, forming an “evil trinity.”
Originally, Astaroth was a revered female deity in ancient times, linked to fertility and love. However, he is depicted as a male demon in demonology, reflecting a significant shift from her original feminine identity to a malevolent androgynous characterization.
An androgynous god is either male or female, both or none, and could change their gender, as well as the gender of others, at will.
Asherah or Ashtoreth in the Bible
In Canaanite mythology, Ashtoreth is described as the wife of the god Baal, the supreme goddess derived from the Babylonians. She is associated with the sexual revolution and societal upheaval. [A. H. Sayce]
Celebration of sexual debauchery
Ashtoreth became the consort of Baal and a moon goddess. The Israelites condemned immoral rites associated with her pagan worship that included “sacred prostitution” and a celebration of sexually immoral practices, often in a public manner.
Similar to the demonic roots of PRIDE March, homosexuality is paraded to celebrate what God calls sin.
Temple of Baal in New York City and London
In 2023, a reproduction using a 3D printer of the Temple of Baal entrance was displayed at New York Times Square and London Trafalgar Square. It was a tribute to the 2,000-year-old original structure destroyed by ISIS last year in Palmyra, Syria.
Both cities are known for their extravagant PRIDE March celebration and “progressive laws” that have criminalized conservative Christians who refused their gender narrative.
Sexual and gender revolution in the USA
In the USA, there is a notable sexual and gender revolution underway. The concept of gender has expanded beyond traditional binary categories, with at least 87 recognized genders.
Also, the definitions of man and woman have evolved. Biological males can now use females’ bathrooms and locker rooms and compete with women in sports. [War on Women]
The gender revolution is celebrated during the “demonic PRIDE month” festivities. Although it was initially intended as a gay parade, former gay activist Brandon Straka said, “Gay Pride has been taken over by trans and pans.”
“Love is love”
LGBTQIA’s cry of “love is love” is the same principle in the worship of Ashtoreth. Her worship involved rituals and celebrations to bring prosperity, abundance, and blessings, including romantic love and relationships.
