Concept creep.

Also, I notice that Rockefeller Center is flying the *old* rainbow-only flags without the black and brown and blue and pink and plaid and polka dot, so that means the WHITE SUPREMACISTS in charge there HATE BLACK PEOPLE and WANT TRANS PEOPLE TO DIE.

I await the howling mobs.

Sounds like Rockefeller Center needs a trans die-in to teach them how evil they are.

I noticed that too. Someone should drop the QTIA2S+ people a line pointing this out . . . and then we'll sell tickets.

I try to never use the PC lexicon, transgender/ghey/gay/lgbt etc./climate change/ ad infinitum. Never use the language of the left. You lose the argument as soon as you speak their lingo, that allows them the power to be the accepted narrative. I do not accept any of that bullshift.

Scottish 'eh? Trump's Mother was Scottish, Mary McLeod, my Mother's also a McLeod, somehow that's satisfying.

I don't celebrate pride month and I don't want the companies with whom I do business to hound me about it. Keep your politics to yourself. If I get another email expressing anything political I will cancel my subscription.

And I mean it. If I have to cancel every single entity with whom I do business as a result of their sycophantic, cowardly, pandering to this cultural sickness, I will.

I’ve already unsubscribed to several regular emails I get from companies. If they had “pride”’or any 🌈 BS in their emails, nope. Unsubscribe. Target? Obviously gone. Petco and PetSmart ... should I know if my cats are gay? Really? Bye. TripAdvisor and Kayak? Adios. Meditopia, Barnes and Noble, GameStop ... it never ends. 🤮🤮🤮. I’m fine with people having sexual relations with whoever they want, just keep it to yourselves.

Thank you! Same here: Netflix, Shudder, target, kohls, bombas - I’ve been done with them since 2020. Never gonna get me back and I won’t hesitate for a second to shun any others that push that crap in my space.

Dang, I liked Bombas. Forgot to add eBay, Etsy, and Goodreads to the list.

Etsy is a real problem. I sell antiques online and it's simply the best platform I've found for a seller, but I hate, hate, hate sharing it with violent trans activist products. There are so many "kill terfs" items to choose from. I would love to leave (and tell them why) but I haven't been able to find a real alternative.

My mother used to say that "pride goeth before a fall." It's Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall (NIV)."

Chris, I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm screaming... don't know whether to pass out, throw up, or both. You've got to get a grip man, you need to get out of CA ASAP! Literally this is one of your funniest, snarkiest pieces ever, so wait, no, better stay where you are. Just hope you are homeschooling your kids. What a toxic rainbow of forced compliance. Batten down the hatches for the next couple of weeks. Feel free to flee to Florida for a break from the Canadian smoke and the mayhem.

Personally I can't wait for Sloth Month. I plan to sleep on a beach for thirty days, the sands slowly blanketing me until my human form looks like just another dune.

And when I awaken to Wrath Month, I'll stalk the shores in search of castles to stomp, and old ladies to berate, and ice cream cones to steal. Because what else has God made me for?

I’m sure it’s very un-PC to suggest Lizzo as the mascot for Gluttony month.

I’m so glad my parents and I did not live in a time when my wearing to first grade every day for two weeks a fringed cowboy jacket, cowboy boots and my plastic gun belt replete with a silver-painted plastic six-shooter qualified me to have my six-year-old breasts surgically removed.

Ah, the good old days.

Now, we have become monsters. 💔

It really is all that stupid. I have seen one pride thing so far this month even mentioned here in red coastal/rural NC, and that was just an announcement for an event that I suspect will have a dozen or so grifters and that’s it. I can’t comprehend how anything thinks the majority of the country (and let’s not talk about the non-hallucinogenic countries) is buying any of this. They do not seem to have any idea that a 13%+ swing to the right over the last year, people fleeing to red states, parents yanking kids out of public schools, Target (TARGET) being boycotted by parents who formerly lived at the bullseye store, and the normies vs Karen/Antifa throw downs in leftist cities means they’re not winning.

I dropped off letters to the three grocery stores near me letting them know that probably 99 percent of their customers here in my rural area likely do not engage in the behaviors celebrated by this mindless pride nonsense. I let them know I will be spending zero money this month at their store or any other that celebrates and encourages debauchery.

I will starve before I buy anything at their stores this month. Pride kills, and not just metaphorically.

Expand full comment

This is the way to do it! The more people do what you've done, peacefully but determinedly withdrawing their business and politely telling why, the more businesses will panic and withdraw overt support for all the rainbow-expletive pejorative stuff.

If I may, I'd like to encourage others in the USA to follow suit. A landslide is after all just a lot of pebbles...

Wow, Chris, I really like this piece. PRIDE is nauseating. Sooo nauseating. I have received 3 Pride emails at work so far this month encouraging me to become an "ALLY!" Mind you we have a corporate code of conduct that all religions, creeds, etc will be respected but somehow the Alphabet Mafia ist uber alles. The pride flags fly proudly all over Baltimore while the city crumbles and the new Police Commissioner has sworn to be the SJW mayor's bitch. Thanks for exposing the insanity!

As I've said many many times, they say they want "allies" but they don't. "Ally" connotes some degree of *mutual*, two-way aid and assistance, and they have zero intention of helping anyone but themselves. What they really want is "vassals", "tributaries", or even dare I say "slaves".

Oops, sorry: "enslaved peoples". My mistake.

Well said. I'll do you one better in the cultural Marxism language game: involuntary assistants. See no oppressive patriarchal language as only bad white men had slaves and equality is preserved. I was honestly shocked by the first email; I expected some Pride mention but not actually a link with ways to volunteer for various Alphabet advocacy groups and you can do it on company time!

I get the feeling that you think it's abnormal (or at least in poor taste) for someone to not only stick their sexual preferences in everyone's faces, but to run it up the flagpole. Are you one of those haters?

Pride is the new Fnord?

I find myself tuning out from all of this nonsense more and more. Like complete numbness about the Pride idiocy, and possibly more disturbing, complete numbness about what is happening to Trump. Is it just because it's so overwhelmingly stupid? Or is it that I feel helpless to do anything to right this ship? Or is just we must all turn away from this noise and focus on building something new? Does anyone else find their eyes glazing over about this stuff when it used to be a daily obsession?

This is the most ridiculous truth. Laughing and crying at the same time. (Side note: My brother was gay, got AIDS and IMO was killed by Fauci and AZT back in ‘93, but that’s a story for another day). So idc if you’re gay. Great! JUST STOP SHOVING IT DOWN MY THROAT! Oops! Did I just say that? 🫣
