As you may have noticed, celebrations of “pride” have been much more subdued this Pride Month than they were in recent memory. The parades this year are less conspicuous and bombastic. Corporate websites are less obnoxious and explicit. And perhaps most notably, triumphant in-store displays have disappeared almost entirely or, at the very least, are much smaller and more restrained than in past years.
According to some in the mainstream media, all of this moderation—or abandonment—of LGBT “pride” has the same root cause as all evils in contemporary America: Donald Trump. The president is so mean, so nasty, and so omnipotent that companies fear him and

After Pride Month I’m always curious about what new sexually transmitted disease pops up that can’t be treated with existing medications. On the plus side Walmart carries “Pride Ice Cream” that doesn’t sell so they mark it down to .25. It good ice cream in rainbow colors which is good because I wouldn’t buy chocolate fudge or rocky road.

The slush funds have dried up. Put another way, DOGE plugged the holes in the dykes.

I think in the minds of Leftists, all these 'celebrations' or protests are interchangeable. In the '80s there were huge 'Nuclear Freeze' rallies. When the USSR collapsed they moved on to everyone wearing an AIDS ribbon. Eventually Islamophobia was the cause célèbre. Then it was gay marriage/PRIDE, BLM riots, Transgenderism and now anti--Trump at every turn. When will they ever celebrate America?

Maybe people got tired of having perversion shoved in their faces, as well as those of their kids and parents. If someone is really interested in that sort of thing, there are private clubs they can join, bars they can go to, and there are hundreds of free web sites that have few restrictions. The pervs can go there without exposing polite society to it.

Agree with poster 4. I'm so tired of having this crap shoved in my face. I will not watch any TV show that has an up front and prominent homosexual character because I'm just so tired of it. Keep your abnormal lifestyle to yourself.
Mothers actually grow and give birth to new life, then nurture it for decades. Fathers don't give birth but we dedicate our lives and resources to raise our children the best we can.
Mothers and Fathers each get one special day a year to recognize their dedication and sacrifice. Why should homosexuals be deserving of a whole month to celebrate.....whatever they are "proud" of. Forget that.

Like so much else, I believe this whole ting was astroturf, put together by a few activists, supported by Liberal Dems, exploited by merchants, and publicized by the media.
Unnecessary. The few gay people I have known have ho interest in this stuff.

"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall," Proverbs 16:18 tells us. Of course, I don't think Proverbs was addressing the specific homosexual version of pride. Still, the quotation works in that context.

C.S. Lewis once noted that pride is the anti-God state. It was pride that got the devil, once the most beautiful angel, kicked out of heaven. Observing from the outside, it seems the LGBs, who mostly live anonymously around straights (who are either unaware, or don't care), have had enough of the "T's" and the "Q's" who like making embarrassing nuisances of themselves, especially around young children. The LGBs don't want any part of that in-your-face tranny or pedo stuff. Heck, the LGBs probably don't like to see Tampon Tim aka Sparkle Fingers prancing about in public. Whassamatter with this fellow? Is he nuts, or is he just a Chicom agent? Which months are going to be designated for the other capital vices or cardinal sins aka seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy)? If the Month of June could communicate like a person, she would reject the association with pride.

They killed their own movement when they let in the TQ people. Most people don't care what two consenting adults do in private; if you keep it private, no one would even know. But when you try to force sexual mutilation on children, well, people aren't going to be quiet. The LGB let the loons take over, and now the whole group is lumped together.

I am thinking that the money stream dried up.
President Trump has made it clear that Federal money is not to be used to support the Perverts, and after the Bud Light tranny-ad disaster and Target's trannies-welcome-in-the-ladies-room blunder, the amoral Corporate Boards that blow in whatever breeze they think will make them the most money and cause them the least grief, have finally figured out that supporting the perverts is not good for business. Now that the stream of Other People's Money has dwindled, the perverts have to spend their own money, which they are loath to do, so the whole hoopla has shriveled.
I agree with #3. All these various leftist 'causes', all supported by academia and the Lamestreams over the years. The one thing they all have in common is to denigrate, weaken, and eventually destroy traditional American culture. Significant pillars supporting that culture are the various Christian religions. Unfortunately, many of the people leading several of the main Protestant religions are weak people who have abandoned the Biblical principles that their churches have preached for hundreds of years and blow -like the weak people on the corporate boards- in whatever breeze they think will give them the most gain at the moment. The result is a significant decline in attendance at these churches. It brings to mind what President Reagan said about the Democrat party: "I didn't leave the Democrat party. The Democrat party left me." Likewise I think that many parishioners who faithfully attended their Churches for many years found that the church leadership had betrayed their basic principles.... the parishioners did not leave their Faith, the church leaders betrayed their Faith and their principles, betrayed their parishioners, and so the people, keeping to their principles, left the churches.

Beyond ridiculous to designate a month of revery for any persuasion or cause. Thank the Lord my company has toned down the rhetoric.
