Greetings, Dear Reader,
I’m sure you know it’s “Pride Month.”
How could you not, it invades every aspect of our lives!
But there’s been a bit of a difference this year. Can you feel it?
NO HOMO
Two years ago almost exactly, a video went viral depicting a small boy approaching a gay pride float. On the float stood what we’ve all gotten used to over the years: Homosexual men dressed to varying degrees like sexual deviants.
(Side note: I wrote about this last year. My newsletter was not yet being posted online, but Nat Sandoval did a good job summing up the message. Unbelievable but true: Gay pride marches used to be business professional attire as a matter of course.)
The boy walks up to the obnoxious public exhibition of marginal sexuality and one of the deviants hands him a small gay pride flag. The boy then immediately turns, throws the flag on the ground and stomps it. You can hear adults laughing.
Five-ish months later, Donald Trump trounced Kamala for the presidency. His most prolific ad was about Harris wanting taxpayers to fund sex changes for incarcerated violent criminals.
“Harris is for they/them. I am for you.” Was the tag line (or some approximation of it).
You could say the culture had shifted, and you wouldn’t be wrong. But like his first election, Trump’s second win was just the result. The shift had already begun to occur years earlier.
Gay conservative columnist Andrew Sullivan has a good, and stark, breakdown of this shift and why it occurred that’s worth reading. If you’re not into reading (except the Bible and my newsletter, of course, Dear Reader), Emily Jashinksy did an excellent video analysis.
The Cliff’s notes version is that support for gays in general has cratered in just the last few years.
The historical trend line is still up, but there’s an unmistakable withdrawal right around 2020.
Why?
“Now we’ve gotten marriage, we will indoctrinate your kids in queer and gender theory, fire you if you don’t repeat our pronouns, force girls to shower next to boys in locker rooms, give irreversible sex changes to minors, and insist that ‘a penis is not a male body part. It’s just an unusual body part for a woman,’” writes Sullivan.
It’s an imposition. What started as a primarily G and L movement with a mostly libertarian mantra of “leave us alone” has become a Queer and Trans movement of totalitarian imposition.
Write a Genesis quote on the gay hats they’re forcing you to wear in the MLB? Politicians like the eminently weird Scott Weiner will condemn you while the league itself rebukes you.
Do you think “mom” is an okay word? It isn’t. New York Dems have almost unanimously voted to purge the word in favor of the almost-too-literally-reptilian “gestating parent.”
Don’t like it? You’re a bigot.
There are still activists out there who count the days from June 1 to when corporations do their first “pride” post online.
The movement has all the characteristics of an open-air mafia.
“Would be a shame if you didn’t post how much you love the gays this month,” growled Vinny on Twitter.
Sullivan outlines the results (emphasis mine):
Support for marriage equality from the center and center-right is nosediving. Gallup shows a decline from 71 percent to 65 percent support for gay marriage among all Americans in just three years. Among Independents, support has dropped by six points in four years, from 73 to 67 percent; and among Republicans by 18 points, from 55 percent in 2022 to just 37 percent today — setting us back 20 years. On the morality of same-sex relations, the drops are more acute: down 10 points among Indies and 21 points among Republicans. As someone who played a part in bringing those Republicans and moderates around to gay marriage, it’s distressing to see what the queer overreach has done — especially in red states.
Even self-identified Democrats are dropping from previous support.
The marginal elements of the LGBT movement have completely upended its previous leaders. Els and Gees are out, Tees and Qs are in. Their interests have completely subdued the leftwing party apparatus, and they’re unabashedly coming for your livelihood and your children.
Like the kid stomping the flag, though, there are anecdotal signs to support the polling and the notion that it’s finally all boiled over.
As I mentioned earlier, more athletes are rebelling against the demands of the movement. Three San Francisco Giants drew rebuke for including Bible verses on their gay pride hats. A minor league baseball team in Pennsylvania cancelled a pride night game when players flat out refused to wear the rainbow gear.
Perhaps more importantly, corporate sponsorships for “Pride” have undergone significant “ghosting,” various homosexual news outlets have reported.
Corporate financial support for this year’s deviant displays has cratered around 40% by some measures. Anheuser-Busch and Walmart are out. Financial behemoths are also pulling back.
In the most ironic example of projection, gay rights groups blame Trump and say the corporations are intimidated.
Or maybe they’re just not intimidated anymore. Maybe you overreached. Maybe they’re tired of the constant imposition. Maybe they don’t want to pay the protection money. Maybe, stick with me here, the spell from the cartel of freaks and weirdos is starting to dissipate.
In any case, this year more and more people seem to be putting the no in “no homo.”
