The Patriot Post® · In Brief: The Media's Weirdest Pride Coverage
“Pride Month, the annual celebration of all things LGBT and beyond, has come and gone,” writes Drew Holden at The Washington Free Beacon. “All we have left now are the internet archives of Pride’s most devoted fans: the mainstream media.”
He then lists numerous examples of the groveling praise, spin, and outright lies peddled by the Leftmedia in service to the Rainbow Mafia. Here are a couple of our “favorites.”
The Washington Post featured “10 Recipes For Pride Month as Colorful as the Rainbow”:
The gay tea dance originated in New York and spread across the country in the 1950s and ‘60s. “At a time when same-sex dancing was criminalized and club raids were common, the afternoon soirees functioned as discreet spaces for gay and lesbian people to socialize safely,” Post style reporter Janay Kingsberry wrote. Thankfully, there have been a number of advancements for LGBTQ+ rights since then — along with some setbacks — and I for one am looking to celebrate this Pride Month to the fullest.Should you want to throw your own tea dance and hark back to the original inspiration of afternoon tea with snacks and beverages, here are some recipes that are fun and colorful to celebrate LGBTQ+ pride this month….
Pride started as a riot, so should you want to light something on fire, this take on the fruit salad is the way to go.
Obviously, it wasn’t all so innocuous. Many others told of the “persecution” endured by the most celebrated people in America.
Bloomberg’s headline: “Pride Planners: How We’ll Celebrate Despite Anti-Drag, Anti-LGBTQ Laws”
In America’s ever-more-polarized political environment, annual celebrations of diversity are as fraught as ever. Here’s what’s happening with festivals big and small in states inundated with anti-LGBTQ legislation.
ABC News ran a story titled “'Genocidal’: Transgender People Begin to Flee States With Anti-LGBTQ Laws”
Susan has a 7-year-old transgender daughter, Elsa, whose parents asked that she be referred to by a pseudonym for safety reasons, who they say may one day need such care.
Why do we object? In part to protect kids like the little boy in the above story. But NBC News defended the chant, “we’re coming for your children.”
The “coming for your children” chant has been used for years at Pride events, according to longtime march attendees and gay rights activists, who said it’s one of many provocative expressions used to regain control of slurs against LGBTQ people.
Yeah, “they’re not groomers.”
Anyway, if you can stomach it, Holden has much more here.
