Notice how pride month has lost it's significance

(07:25):.

You've probably heard about the nineteen drag

queen story hours that the city of Boston is sponsoring and holding

in their libraries during the so called Pride Month.

That story is circulating this week.

But did you know that the little gay rainbow is

a little dim this year? Have you heard that Pride

Month aint nearly what it used to be with the

prancing left blaming Trump? Of course, it's a pretty interesting story,

even if most media outlets won't cover it. Next week,

All sorts of gay Pride events that would normally take

(08:08):

place every year have been canceled, and most interesting to me,

the bulk of them were canceled in January and February

and not because of anything that Donald Trump did, just

because the activist left in their morons are so depressed

over the fact that Trump is back in charge of

the country. Seriously, they want to blame it on Trump's

assault on DEI or his assault against their transgender bullying, etc.

(08:29):

But it isn't. Really. They could have held all of

these events if they'd wanted to, but the truth is

they're mostly just depressed and really don't want to throw

the party. The other hard truth is they can't get

funding to hold these events unless they bully it out

of people. It's going to be interesting to see what

sorts of coverage or alleged analysis we're going to get

on this next week as June or Pride Month begins.

(08:51):

Trust me, they're going to claim it's hardship because all

sorts of corporate funding is dried up and they can't

get their normal sponsors. And there's some truth to that,

But it's also true that it's not Trump's fault. It's

their own fault. Folks. It's due to the rabid left's

activists overplaying their hand that Pride events, etc. Have fallen

out of favor. It was them who bullied the and

(09:12):

shamed corporate America into giving them all of the sponsorships

to put on these Pride events in the first place.

It was them who created litmus tests for anyone and

everyone and every corporation that they could then use to

further bully them and force their gender assignment bs and

outright perversions at us, and insisted we all had to

agree it was normal. Most Americans at this point clearly

(09:33):

believe that you can be gay, lesbian, straight, whatever, and

it's not a big deal so long as you don't

try to force it onto the rest of us, or worse,

try to lure in or sexualize our children with it.

And for decades that was the rather reasonable working relationship

that most of us had on all of this. You

want your rights and you want to be seen as

a legitimate part of society. Fine, We're okay with it,

(09:54):

so long as you agree there are boundaries and we

have reasonable conversations about all of this. And then the

trans bullies and their brand of activism came onto the

scene that changed the game. So called activists who are

really just perverts who wanted to force their brand of

belief or perversion onto the country under the banner of

gender confusion. That's where it all broke down. Wait, because

(10:16):

you say you're gender confused, we should let you dress

up like sluts and put on quote shows where you

waggle plastic penises in our kids' faces, and we think

it's good, clean fun. Come on, or worse, because you're

gender confused, you want to go into schools and pray

on vulnerable children going through their own sexual awakenings and

normal confusions, and you want to twist them and turn

them into metal cases and then start cutting off their genitals.

(10:39):

What how is this related to transgenders should have their

rights too? Come on, And that's not even talking about

all of the other genuinely perverted and offensive crap that

has come along with this alleged activism. Even many of

the gays and lesbians who had been in the activist

trenches fighting for these causes over the last fifty years

took offense to this. In fact, one of the great

(11:01):

untold stories of the gay activist movement is that in truth,

gays and lesbians and buys, etc. They want nothing to

do with the transgender activists and reject their brand of

so called activism. They really did not like it when

the trans community, so to speak, swept in and co

opted the LGBTQ banner. They are smart enough to know

(11:22):

that these trans bullies have completely destroyed the LGBTQ cause.

When it was just lgbt most liberal activists in gay

and lesbian groups were good with things and how their

movement for equal rights, etc. Was going. But when others

started to add the Q and then all sorts of

other letters and numbers after it, that's when any sort

of positive or constructive activism related to this movement fell apart.

(11:44):

And clearly the overall movement has suffered and was suffering

even before Donald Trump re took office. Yes, he and JD.

Vance and the Republican strategists at the time were smart

enough to take advantage of the divide to capitalize off

of the fact that the trans bullies had turned off

corporate America and most average Americans with their bullying demands.

But this year's Pride events weren't canceled because of Trump

(12:06):

or anything he did. They were canceled because even before

Trump got reelected, average Americans and corporate America were finally

saying enough is enough, stop bullying, stop forcing your radical

crap into corporate America and our consumer decisions. Stop forcing

your perverted nonsense onto our kids and trying to normalize it.

Stop trying to force men and boys into our girls'

(12:28):

restrooms and locker rooms and private spaces. We're done with this.

That's why the shine is off the Pride rainbow this year.

Many months ago, the Tucson Pride Festival announced that they

weren't going to hold it this year, and worse, they

were simply going to dissolve their organization. Why because all

of their corporate funding had dried up. They'd also blamed

mismanagement and lower attendance over the last few years as reasons,

(12:51):

and I'll highlight that a once large pride festival and

lefty Tucson has been seeing a noticeable drop off in

attendance over the years, not just since Donald Trump got

back into office. The lack of interest started to show

well before then. Across the country. In Tampa, for example,

you'd think that that's a place that would draw big

alphabet attendants. No, both its Pride festival and its Diversity

(13:14):

Parade are canceled this year. New York City's Pride event

organizers say they've lost sponsorships for years and this year,

they're down seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars in sponsorship money. Wow,

that is a lot of rubber penises. Even in San Francisco,

sponsorships are down and the drag queen's dressed as nuns

are sad. Companies that backed out include Anheuser, Busch, Comcast,

(13:37):

and Nissan. Three hundred thousand dollars in quote pride money

evaporated in San Francisco. Good.

(13:45):

A story I ran across about two months ago tried

to blame a quote singular turning point event, the loss

of Kamala Harris and the reelection of Donald Trump, to that,

I say, bullplop. This was already a country that was

rejecting this new brand of angry, vile, disgraceful activism, and

Trump and Vans were simply smart enough to add it

to their platform. They were smart enough to run an

(14:07):

ad that simply said, Kamala is for they them, Trump

is for you. Remember, but this year's Pride Month isn't

a hollowed out piece of crap because of Trump. They

did it to themselves. A survey of corporate America last

year found that forty percent of corporation said they were

either reducing or eliminating their corporate funding for quote Pride events.

One claim that may or may not be true is

(14:29):

that when Trump and the current political climate forced companies

into killing off their DEI budgets, a lot of that

alphabet money got cut too, because that's the part of

the budget where the funding for the gay Pride Parade

was listed. So DEI went, but so did the corporate

sponsorship of Pride event. I'm sure that that's true in

some cases, but the bottom line is if the general

(14:50):

public or the major private donors wanted these events to continue,

they would have stepped up and donated or raised the money. Correct.

What is completely being missed at this point is that

the Pride event organizers of Frisco, Tampa, Tucson, et cetera.

They didn't pivot to simply working to find a different

funding source. They didn't decide, we'll work a little harder

(15:11):

to get this done. They appear to have simply quit,

given up on the notion that they should even continue

holding these Pride events. Isn't that interesting to me? That's

the most interesting part of this. So you finally pushed

and bullied people too hard and you lost your wave

of let's call them guilt sponsorships, and since bullying doesn't work,

you're giving up. Don't you find that interesting? It's almost

(15:34):

as if these lefty activists know that if they can't bully,

they'll ever come up with the funding. They seem to

know that if it's a matter of popularity or a

form of entertainment, people don't really want it. So if

a sliver of activists can't force it onto us, we're

not going to pay for it. Isn't that the truth here?

After all, we're living in the city of summer festivals

here in Milwaukee, and we've sort of seen this. This podcast,

(15:56):

if you don't know, originates in southeastern Wisconsin, where I

did a talk radio show for nearly forty years. Milwaukee's

the home base, and we have ethnic pride festivals all summer.

Irish Fast, German Fest, Festa, Italiana, Polish Fest. Yeah, there's

a pride fest. But over the years, at some point

or another, some of the organizers of those festivals have

fallen on hard times. Occasionally it happens you've got lower

(16:17):

donations and then threats are made. You know, we might

not have an Irish fest this year. We might not

have Polish Fest this year. Invariably, the community rallies and

saves the festival. Corporate and private donors step up, they

find the money, the party is held. So what does

it say about this so called pride movement that if

they can't bully companies into big donations, no one else

(16:37):

wants to fund the party. I think we all know

what it means. Even the organizers of these events know

that if they can't shame and bully and use tricks

to play on people's emotions, they can't find a way

to get people interested in the cause they're selling. And

that's pathetic, but it's also authentic. It rings true, doesn't it.

It puts this entire twenty or thirty year farce of

(16:59):

Pride Month into perspective. Every other cause and or repressed

group gets a day, maybe a week, of recognition. The

alphabet activists demand an entire month a month at the

rest of us ignore. Most Americans, though, never asked for

any of this to begin with. But we're okay with

live and let live. Then it became some twisted litmus

test for tolerance. Then worse, they came for the kids.

(17:22):

And no Americans never asked for drag Queen's Story Hour,

and they never wanted it. They only ever wanted it

to go away. If you want to dress up like

a hooker and show your genitals and call it art,

or lip sync to a song and pretend you're singing

and your talented, fine, do it in the clubs. At

least there people are seeking it out and coming to

see you do it. But don't try to corrupt society

(17:44):

with all sorts of vile crap and kink that you're

into and insist that it needs to be normalized for

the rest of us or for larger society. If your

gender confused, I feel for you. I do. If you're

just a pervert who gets his kicks out of corrupting

innocent kids with your dildo, oh show you're a scumbag.

That's not normal, and neither are you.
