The Patriot Post® · So-Called 'Pride Month' Ends, but Gender-Confusion Endures
“The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families.” —John Adams (1778)
There is a great clip between Jack Nicholson and Shirley MacLaine in their 1983 film, “Terms of Endearment.” After a romantic encounter, MacLaine drops Nicholson at the airport, and just before the terminal doors close behind him, she yells from the sidewalk, “I love you!” Nicholson pauses, turns, and walks back out to MacLaine, who asks, “Do you have any reaction at all to my telling you I love you?” Nicholson responds with a sigh, “I was just inches from a clean getaway.”
What I wouldn’t give to be just inches from a clean getaway at the end of any day in June, also known in gender-confusion circles as “pride month.” If only we could get to the end of the day with just one of these distractions, but alas, our editorial team can’t even get through our daybreak call without being confronted by a plethora of grossly absurd “pride month” manifestations.
A couple of typical examples this morning:
First, we confirmed that the woke commander of the Osan Air Force base in South Korea has authorized “pride patches” to be worn on uniforms while performing official duties. Got that?
The greatest external threat to the United States is Red China, which is currently threatening an invasion of Taiwan to enforce reunification. Our frontline of defense in the region includes Osan, and I bet the ChiComs are terrified of those pride patches.
Of course, that pandering AF commander may have just been taking a cue from the CIA, which made sure to prioritize it’s “pride month” celebrations. House Select Committee on Intelligence member, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), a former Green Beret concluded: “It just shows where this administration’s priorities continue to be, which is a virtue signal to the progressive Left, rather than staying focused on lethality, effective intelligence collection, and keeping America safe. It’s just a total misplacement of priorities, and it comes from the top, and it comes from highly politicized political appointees, by political appointees that are pushing an agenda.”
It’s not just the Air Force. Each of the service branch chiefs is dutifully appeasing the Biden administration’s political gender-confusion agenda with such virtue-signaling nonsense. Yes, even the Navy SEALs got in on the act, with their own rainbow social media post.
Next news in, after defacing the White House by putting rainbow colors on its columns, Kamala Harris hosted the cast of “Queer Eye,” and concluded the gay affair by thanking them for “meaningful conversation” and “giving my office your stamp of approval.” So special!
Perhaps the failed “Border Czar” should host the families of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and 12-year old Jocelyn Nungaray at the White House, the latest torture/murder victims of Biden’s swarms of illegal immigrants. Harris could have painted the columns red in remembrance of the tens-of-thousands of American citizens assaulted by violent illegal immigrants.
Then we learned that SCOTUS will hear legal challenges to what the Demos and their Leftmedia parrots call a “gender-affirming care ban” for children — or, more accurately, a “ban on gender mutilation of children.” This comes on the heels of U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ruling in which he asserts: “Florida has adopted a statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional.” Just when exactly is so-called “transgender” chemical alteration and physical mutilation of children “medically appropriate”?
Apparently Biden approves. His official pride month proclamation objects to states protect children from gender mutilation: “These bills and laws attack our most basic values and freedoms as Americans: the right to be yourself, the right to make your own medical decisions, and the right to raise your own children.”
Delusional parents making decisions to cut body parts off their minor children does not constitute an attack on “our most basic values and freedoms as Americans,” that mutilation is the attack.
In fact, we also just confirmed evidence that Biden’s “transgender” groomer-in-chief at the Department of Health and Human Services, Richard “Rachel” Levine, advocated for removal of age limit guidelines for genital mutilation surgeries on children.
That is the same miscreant who wanted to declare a whole “summer of pride.”
In Biden’s context, it’s OK to rip children from the womb just prior to birth, so why not mutilate children to suit their parents deranged pathology. Biden the “devout Catholic,” declared: “We see you for who you are: made in the image of God and deserving of dignity, respect, and support.” That is some satanic theology right there…
And the leftist rag USA Today just published a puff piece on the most welcoming states for “gay and transgender people.” The rankings inadvertently make clear which states are the least family and faith-friendly.
In better news, some companies and organizations are dialing back their virtue signal pandering. One noted marketing promoter, Matt Skallerud, in charge of helping brands reach the LGBT demographic, says he is normally “pretty busy working on Pride projects,” this time of year, but admits, “I have not been — and I think it’s across the board.” He adds: “Nobody in the media, marketing and advertising world wants to admit how heavy and hard this has been. Ever since Target and Bud Light had their fiascos last year, a tremendous number of brands have decided it would be much better to sit on the sidelines and let this sort itself out.”
Apparently, somebody is listening to consumers who are turned off by all the gender-confusion marketing.
Consider this as a backdrop to the “pride month” absurdities.
We started this once-unadulterated month of June with a solemn observance of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a celebration of Americans devoted to serving a cause much greater than their own self-interest. Fittingly, on June 14th, we then observed Flag Day — the anniversary of that day in 1777 when the Continental Congress authorized the first U.S. flag. And then we observed Father’s Day — which reminds us that fathers are the foundation of healthy families, and families are the foundational blocks of a healthy culture and society.
But in each case, much as with the whole month of June, the leftist cadres have upended those bedrock observances.
At Normandy, Joe Biden disgracefully used the gravesites of American Marines killed in World War I as a backdrop for a political ad suggesting that Donald Trump is a “threat to democracy,” much as was Adolf Hitler. Of course, Biden is the greatest domestic threat to our Republic.
Fortunately, Biden did not insist on little rainbow flags next to the American flags at those grave markers.
On Flag Day, Nate Jackson wrote about the encroachment of gender-confusion flags on flag poles reserved for our national flag in front of every federal installation across the nation. He noted further, “The ‘pride’ flag’s very name is detestable,” and cited psychologist Jordan Peterson, who correctly asserts, “Pride is not a virtue; humility is. … Pride is the root of all sin.”
As for Father’s Day… To undermine family, the Demos have spent decades endeavoring to undermine the role of fathers, and the consequences have been disastrous at every level. As I have noted in detail, the lack of functional fathers in families is the common denominator for the cultural entropy in America today.
Fathers — who needs ‘em? Turns out, everyone does and fortunately for some who may never have even known their fathers, there are men who serve as father figures, stepping into the gap of the dark void of fatherlessness.
So, the leftist heterophobic cult of binary gender deniers have hijacked the entire month of June to celebrate pathological degeneracy, mostly related to narcissism, and most often the result of broken families — particularly, as noted above, failed fatherhood.
Of course another major causal factor in gender disorientation pathology is the result of homosexual predation on children, a prolific problem beyond the child-grooming kindergarten drag queens and gender-dysphoric elementary school teachers/administrators, deranged models which leftists are aggressively seeking to normalize.
Predictably, the largest concentration of gender confusion is among the most easily influenced: “Gen N,” the narcissist generation; the youngest of the Gen Y Millennials; and the oldest of the Gen Z cohort. They are also the gender-bender generation.
But don’t let those numbers distress you too much. One reason for that growth is because the “alphabet people,” as comedian Dave Chappelle calls them, keep adding more letters behind the original “LGBT” designation, now to include LGBT+XYZ-ad-nauseam.
So, why devote a single bit of bandwidth to their agenda, given that only a small percentage of people identify with some degree of gender disorientation? Allow me to explain.
The Democrat political calculation for defending their “degenderization deviancy,” even the most absurd outlying manifestations of the gender cult agenda, is because that agenda is favored by the Demos’ largest constituency — women voters.
Majorities of women have elected every Democrat president since 1960 and have been a major force in midterm elections. On average, women have voted for Democrat presidents by a margin exceeding six percentage points since 1980.
Democrat strategists believe their female voters are emotionally incontinent idiots who can be manipulated into dependably voting Democrat by promoting emotionally provocative issues, most notably, the gender nonsense.
But even some female Demos are fed up with the party pandering. California State Sen. Susan Eggman, a “progressive” leftist, said of her Party’s efforts to water down a recent bill regarding sex trafficking minors: “I’m done … I don’t want people buying little girls anymore, and I’m tired of saying it’s okay and that we have to protect the men who do it.”
Of course, to ensure the loyalty of their female voter majority, Demos are not content with just the June “pride” month. The gender-confusion calendar now includes:

(You may have noticed that there is not a single designated gender-confusion day in August — ssssshhhhhhhh.)
The deeper the aberrant pathology, the greater the need for public affirmation of group denial.
Now let me be clear: I cast no stone … though daring to object to the Rainbow Mafia agenda means I will be cast as a “hater” by hate groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which just added the group Gays Against Groomers to its so-called hate list.
The foundation for my approach to individuals who suffer from gender confusion is thoroughly outlined in “Gender Disorientation — A Faithful Response to the ‘LGBT’ Agenda.” Most of those afflicted with gender disorientation pathology are victims of broken families or predation by homosexual pedophiles, and for that reason deserve a great measure of compassion, not condemnation.
But compassion for those who suffer from gender-identity pathology versus those who promote gender-disorientation pathology, including those who actively groom children with their perverse pathology, are two entirely different things. What consenting adults do privately is their business, but when the Demos use the strong arm of government to insist you have to protect deviancy and insist you must embrace it, push back every time.
The bottom line is this: Family and Faith form the foundation of our Republic, but they are completely antithetical to the Demos’ gender-degeneracy agenda. To the extent they promote the latter, they undermine the former.
