Problems With Pride

The Washington Post disingenuously says the right wing has intimidated businesses into “distancing themselves from Pride.”

Many American businesses have finally come to their senses and realized that it is not a good customer relations move to promote “pride” in the sexual proclivities of a certain segment of society.
 
The LGBTQ movement first asked to be tolerated. Then, they wanted to be celebrated. Next, they wanted our participation. Now, they use an iron fist to force us to yield to their every demand, including that we accept the lie that men can be women and that we must sacrifice the minds and bodies of our children to their radical ideology.
 
This militant movement is one of the most well-funded movements in American history. Statistically, LGBTQ individuals have higher incomes than the rest of the country, and they wield enormous influence in the nation’s capital.
 
So, you can imagine my surprise when I read a full-page Washington Post story about how the right wing has intimidated businesses into “distancing themselves from Pride.” The only intimidation over the years was the LGBTQ movement shaking down businesses for donations.
 
Many Americans don’t care what people do in private. But they want it to stay private. They are sick and tired of being told we have to celebrate it. The number of days, weeks, and months dedicated to celebrating “pride,” which is a sin, is absurd. Veterans would give anything to have that kind of recognition.
 
But there’s another flaw in the Post’s propaganda “news” article. We’re told that there is tremendous fear running through the LGBTQ community because of hate inspired by the Trump administration.
 
They’re making that claim the same week that pro-woman activist Riley Gaines needed security just to speak on a university campus because violent “Transtifa” activists were threatening her life. Gaines has been assaulted and even held hostage while trying to speak at campus events.
 
But I do worry about harm at LGBTQ pride events – harm to the children who are exposed to naked men and drag queens in big city parades.
