As the Library of Congress notes, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June.
An entire month?! Our mothers, fathers, and soldiers only get a day. And then there is the “pride” angle. I’m not sure who you have intimate relations with should be a source of pride any more than your height, weight, or shoe size should be. (It’s worth noting that the barrage of days celebrating same-sex coupling doesn’t end on June 30. October is LGBTQ+ History Month, the same month we celebrate National Coming Out Day. In November, there is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. And in case you missed it, we had the Transgender Day of Visibility in March, and in April, the Day of Silence honored the contributions of the LGBTQ community.)
LGBTQ month is not about tolerance; it is about the agenda, which is a leading reason for the culture wars that all of us, especially parents, face practically on a daily basis.
Just a year ago, the Human Rights Campaign, the country’s “largest and most influential activist organization representing the interests of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community,” hysterically issued a state of emergency for LGBTQIA+ people in the U.S. HRC claimed more than 525 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills had been introduced in state legislatures. Men not being allowed in women’s bathrooms and 10-year-olds not being allowed to pick their own gender qualify as an “emergency” to HRC, you see.
HRC’s over-the-top alarmism aside, our nation’s youth are buying into the agenda. Big time. The results of a CDC report released in April 2023 reveal that 24.5% of high school students identify as gay, lesbian, transgender, or “something other than heterosexual.” Traditionally, that number has been around 3.8%.
The Pride bug is hardly limited to HRC; our institutions have also been infected.
National Review obtained a memorandum sent in May to federal judges and other employees of the federal court system recognizing LGBTQ Pride Month. Federal employees will have to undergo training that explores “the common misnomers associated with gender, why gender inclusivity is essential, and how to navigate gender identity professionally in the workplace.”
Needless to say, the schools are saturated with Pride propaganda. Scholastic, a major publisher of books and other educational materials, has announced a “Read with Pride” campaign, in which educators are provided with a list of “LGBTQIA+ stories” for “kids and teens.” Scholastic vows to use company resources to fight efforts by local school districts and parents to determine what content is appropriate for children.
Not surprisingly, Scholastic emphasizes that the very act of teaching is itself political and “is meant to impress a certain ideology on students.” The organization’s guide asserts, “Books and literature are never neutral; by engaging with queer literature for children and young adults, you are disrupting the status quo that implies being cisgender, heterosexual, and allosexual are the default. You are showing children an expanded way of thinking and being that validates all children and people.”
Taking it a step further, the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center has amassed a list of “Anti-LGBTQ hate groups. While all the usual Christian groups grace the list, it also includes “Gays Against Groomers.” I guess grooming children into the homosexual lifestyle is okay with the SPLC.
California, of course, is ground zero for sex-related craziness. Cities around the state have seen school board meetings turn into battlegrounds over parental notification on sex- and gender-related issues. In Temecula, Joseph Komrosky, a Christian conservative who was elected to the school board in November 2022, has been targeted by foes who claim his words and actions are divisive. Komrosky’s major sin is that he approved a policy requiring parents to be told if their child identifies as transgender. Supporters say he has kept his promise to restore parental rights and protect children from pornography and liberal indoctrination. The vote to recall Komrosky is too close to call as of this writing.
As a way to disempower local school districts, San Diego Assemblyman Chris Ward has authored AB 1955. This bill would prohibit all school boards in the state from implementing policies requiring parental notification regarding their child’s gender identity or gender expression without the child’s consent.
State-sponsored sex jihads are certainly not limited to the Golden State. In Vermont, a new lawsuit alleges that the state blocked two families from fostering children, despite the state’s foster care system crisis, because the families hold traditional, religious views on gender and sexuality.
Predictably, colleges have become a laughingstock on gender-related issues.
Russell Sage College, a private institution in Albany, NY, plans to offer a Gender-Affirming Voice Program starting in the spring 2025 semester. The school’s website explains that during the sessions, participants will “explore aspects of voice, like pitch, inflection, resonance, articulation, and loudness.” Attention will also be given to “nonverbal communication,” and students will be taught “how to sneeze, cough, and modify their voices to match their identities.”
At the same time that everyone is supposed to embrace the LGBTQ agenda, traditional masculinity is excoriated. Daniel Greenfield, journalist at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, writes that the Tucson Unified School District in Arizona is now promoting “A Call to Men,” whose materials teach that “all men and boys are complicit in violence against women and girls” and that the Man Box (traditional masculinity) does not allow us to be fully human. “Vulnerable boys are programmed to repeat the cultlike mantra, ‘I was taught gender norms, which means I can unlearn it and teach myself to be free.’”
In Texas, where sanity still prevails, children may get to read stories from the Bible in elementary school, according to a redesigned curriculum. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick explains that this will “get us back to teaching, not necessarily the Bible per se, but the stories from the Bible.”
The program’s adoption is voluntary and will go before the state Board of Education in the fall. The sex-obsessed crowd that would rather see children read books like Gender Queer, which graphically depicts young people indulging in various kinds of sex, and Ready Player One, which includes explicit descriptions of blow-up sex dolls, online brothels, and masturbation, is sure to do its best to nix the reading of any Bible-related stories.
Supporting LGBTQ Pride Month, Kevin Rector, a legal affairs reporter for the Los Angeles Times, insists that “Queer people should not just be accepted but celebrated.”
That is absurd. What willing people do behind closed doors is no one else’s business – not yours, not mine, and not the government’s. But to honor people—for an entire month, no less—for their sexual activity is an insult to us all, gay and straight.

THEY renamed Columbus Day so I can rename too: STRAIGHT PRIDE MONTH! WHITE HISTORY MONTH!
Who are THEY and now chanting “STOLEN LAND”?
THEREDNATION.ORG which started here in Albuquerque when they complained about a Conquistador on the University of NM seal. Now changed. Then they went after Columbus Day which was changed first by our Sanctuary Mayor Tim Keller, whose wife studied in Cuba and Nicaragua and followed Che’s motorcycle journey and still passed an FBI background check to work at Sandia National Labs!!!
From their Mission Statement: This position paper of the Third General Assembly formally adopts revolutionary socialism and liberation as the primary political ideology of The Red Nation. While incomplete, the purpose of this proposal is to articulate the basic principles of revolutionary socialism and Marxism and its connection to Indigenous socialism and communism. By adopting this proposal, we commit ourselves to the study and practice of revolutionary socialism (also known as scientific socialism) by aligning ourselves with the long traditions of resistance that predate Marxism itself. Nonetheless, Marxism has become the weapon of the poor and colonized throughout the world and largely outside of Europe, a weapon we now take up as our own. Marxism is the five-fingered fist—the hand of the worker, the peasant, the colonized—and our traditions of resistance are the power behind that fist.
Marxism is a tool for making revolution, first and foremost. But it is a useless tool unless wielded properly by the oppressed. Our traditions of Indigenous resistance wield Marxism, not to uphold European traditions, but to emancipate ourselves from the colonizers by destroying that which destroys us, and building and rebuilding our nations according to our traditions and cultures so that our human and nonhuman relations and thus all people may live. And we cannot merely destroy capitalism, without the foresight and knowledge of replacing it with a more humane and just system without rulers and without colonizers.
Communism is the greatest expression of love for the people and our nonhuman relatives. And it is the only solution for a planet on the brink of destruction at the hands of the ruling bourgeoisie and their backwards ideologies and institutions.
The exact same message is in the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals implemented through Agenda 2030 through their WEF mouthpiece.
They need to be defunded now along with NATO.
Then why has it killed so many? Are you going to give up all the Western appliances and cars and go back to walking, as you had no horses before Europeans arrived.
“Their glory is their shame.”
Five steps to the doorway of Hell:
1. overthrow all moral authority (atheism)
2. create an idol (worship self)
3. welcome promiscuity
4. declare homosexuality normal
5. promote transgender mutilation
When I was in high school, my friends and acquaintances used to malign males perceived as “queers” or other homosexual descriptions. My response was, “I wish that you guys were all homosexuals; in fact, I wish that every guy in the world but me were homosexual, but all the straight chicks were still straight.”
SHAME!
God is not to be mocked!
They are called gay because most of them are sad.
They call it pride because most of them have shame.
Orwellian language again and again.
But wait, it’s a great way to reduce the white population of the successful western world.
Have you noticed that the establishment enemy, Russia, refuses to partake?
Islam does not partake (openly) and they have not only many babies but many wives. So do the math. We die out like idiots and they increase in numbers.
This celebration of phags is the clearest sign of this nation’s decline.
The Marxist don’t care who they use, and when they have outlived their usefulness they will be the first into the gulags.
When they go and change BC and AD with BCE and CE and want IN GOD WE TRUST removed from our Coins and Currency we know the Liberal Secular Humanists screwballs are loose
And this was not the first time. In 1908, President Teddy Roosevelt removed the phrase “in God we trust” from our coins. The phrase had been on our coins since 1866 – as kind of a way to ask God to heal our land after the civil war. The outcry from the public was so great in 1908 when Teddy did this that he put the phrase back on our coins by the end of 1908.
Where’s the outcry today when the dems are destroying our country with abortion, gay rights, open borders, voter fraud, lawfare. clot shots and an endless list of evil agendas.
How is it possible that a “marginalized community” like the LGBTQ+ crowd has an entire *month set aside for it, a month that has arguably become the biggest festival of the year in many blue cities?
*I recently checked an LGBTQ+ website and – even accounting for the overlap of various weeks, days, and months – nearly half the year is set aside for celebrating or honoring the cult as a whole or one of its sub-groups.
Americas toughest and strongest? I think not.
Proverbs 16:18-20 KJV
Pride goeth before destruction, And an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud. He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
Pride is one of the Seven Deadly Sins
