Who Killed Pride Month?

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 6/17/2025 12:15:51 PM

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.

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.

Masks for terrorists but not for law enforcement 4 replies
Posted by Hazymac 6/17/2025 2:21:11 PM Post Reply
Soy Boy California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D) wants law enforcement to stop wearing masks to cover their identity, but has no problem with violent domestic terrorists wearing masks at the same “protests.” How upside down is that? We are not talking about peaceful protests here. Those who are burning, looting, setting cars on fire, and breaking windows are domestic terrorists, not peaceful protestors. Peaceful protestors hold placards, set up stands with mics, or civilly disobey. But once they turn the corner to destroying private property, burning cars in the streets, throwing chunks of cement at passing cars, and doxxing law enforcement officials, they become criminals.

In the latest indication that America is going mad, two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were recently shot. Dressed as a police officer, the shooter knocked on the doors of the victims’ homes in the early morning hours, first shooting Senator John Hoffman (D-Minn) and his wife numerous times and wounding both. He then drove nine miles to shoot former House Speaker Melissa Hortman (D-Minn) and her husband, killing them. As police closed in on the Hortman home, encountering the suspect, they exchanged gunfire, forcing him to escape on foot and leave behind a car outfitted to appear as an undercover police vehicle.

A national-security watchdog group is asking members of Congress to take a closer look at an energy transition advocacy nonprofit that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to State Armor, the watchdog group, nonprofits are coordinating with U.S. climate groups to influence climate policy, advance the interests of the CCP and undermine U.S. national security. A new report by State Armor argues that the CCP is co-opting the American progressive climate change lobby to advance a transition away from fossil fuels. The alternative technologies being pushed by this lobby, according to the report, create significant economic and geopolitical advantages by undermining U.S. energy dominance and leaving it

In wartime it’s particularly difficult to ascertain what’s happening. Governments have a natural and healthy instinct to hide from public eyes what is going on, even those fully democratic ones which in peace have some constraints on official censorship. Nevertheless, the fact that so many people around the world have video-capable mobile phones and access to the internet makes it harder to hide what is happening. All week long I’ve been looking at these videos, reading official IDF reports and statements by leaders of involved countries and they show that Stacey McCain and Lee Smith, whose takes I link to below, are in full

Hossein Salami, head of the world’s leading terrorist organization, is at room temperature. Donald Trump took out Qasem Soleimani, the previous leader of Iran’s terrorist Revolutionary Guards Corps, in 2020. On Friday the 13th of June 2025, Israel erased Soleimani’s successor Salami, along with military generals, political leaders, and nuclear scientists. The latter join at least seven other scientists Israel hit in the previous decade. Iranian nuclear physicists exhibit short half-lives. The day after Trump announced the successful conclusion of trade talks with China, Israel launched against Iran. Was this coincidence?

Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has a longstanding affinity for Communist China. He has visited there more than 30 times, and chose China as the venue for his wedding in 1994. Walz has expressed his admiration for communism, and he had a Chinese girlfriend who almost certainly was an agent of the CCP. So it shouldn’t be surprising that, interviewed by Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress, he unleashed a couple of howlers. Here, he expresses contempt for the military parade scheduled for tomorrow. Walz will skip the event, choosing to participate instead in an anti-Trump rally. And he hopes it rains on the soldiers: (X).

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the United States via Arab intermediaries, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing officials. The report quotes officials as saying that Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the US doesn’t join the hostilities. They also sent messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

A long list of Hollywood celebrities took to the streets Saturday as tens of thousands of mostly white, older Americans joined the “No Kings” protests in many big, deep-blue cities.

For instance, Disney and Marvel Studios star Mark Ruffalo, who was seen parading with actress Susan Sarandon, turned out on the streets of New York City to join the anti-Trump crowds. “We see a president who has made himself a king and a dictator,” Ruffalo absurdly declared at the rally.

AUSTIN, Texas — Juneteenth celebrations have been scaled back this year due to funding shortfalls as companies and municipalities across the country reconsider their support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Canceled federal grants and businesses moving away from so-called brand activism have hit the bottom line of parades and other events heading into Thursday’s federal holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. The shrinking financial support coincides with many companies severing ties with LGBTQ celebrations for Pride this year and President Donald Trump’s efforts to squash DEI programs throughout the federal government.

It’s strange how I keep being told by the regime media and Democrat political flunkies, to the limited extent that those are different things, about how I didn’t vote for what Donald Trump is doing to illegal aliens. I keep hearing about how I don’t want ICE raiding Home Depots, factories, and non-Beatles strawberry fields or sending away 30-year illegal aliens or illegal alien honor students. I’m told that Donald Trump only promised to deport criminal aliens – in the sense that they committed other crimes besides the crime they committed by being illegal aliens – and that Trump can’t actually send criminal aliens away either.

President Trump has come out swinging against "Kooky" Tucker Carlson after the podcaster and former Fox News host predicted the demise of Trump's presidency if the United States were to get involved in the escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran. While Trump and Carlson have seemed chummy at times in recent years, Carlson rather infamously texted a friend back in 2021 of his eagerness to see the backside of the president, saying, "I hate him passionately." Things between the two got very heated Monday after Carlson appeared on Steve Bannon's "War Room" show and claimed Iran would be the president's ultimate downfall.

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked.
