When the Groomers Blink First: Pride Month’s Quiet Collapse in Enemy Territory

With June being over, Pride month 2025 is officially on the books. There was one minor but possibly significant change I noticed from previous years.

Two weeks ago Little Bob and I made a trip to the local public library here in the sapphire blue People's Republic of Arlington, VA. I remember in years past passing through the entrance and seeing some inappropriate LGBTQ+ (Silent P) books on a table just outside the children's section. At the time I had a number of things going on and decided that this was the year I would check to see what they were exposing the kids to and filing a complaint if they reached the threshold for exposing minors to obscene material under Virginia or Arlington law.

Although I wasn't paying attention, I'm pretty sure they had some kind of Pride banner at the entrance. We passed by the attention grabbing table by the kids' section and the table had... age appropriate kids books. I thought that this was interesting and thought nothing else of it until we got back to the DVD movies section, which was adjacent to the teen lit section. Where there had once been an opening between the book shelves, this time the book shelf between the anime books and the teen books had been pushed flush against the wall. Walking to the front of the teen section, and the only way into their section, showed a sign that the are was restricted to teens and older. Granted, there was no physical means to keep little kids from wandering in there, and I'm confident that if I went back there I'd find material inappropriate for teens. But that said...

An Arlington library not only did not shove any LGBTQ+ (Silent P) into children's faces, but they made an effort to protect children from seeing them. Have they seen the error of their ways and made an about face? I doubt it. More likely, I'm reminded of a great Hawkeye Pierce quote from an episode of MASH - "What are the three basic human emotions? Greed, fear, and greed." In this case, I believe it is fear that wins the day. Yes, just five years after The Radical Left was so confident in their power that they reveled in locking up our children and exposing them to various creeps. While we'll never know if it was Trump's third election that triggered it, or, more likely, the fear that the based parents were no longer fleeing but were ready to fight (depending on what numbers you look at, enrollment in Arlington's school system dropped by roughly 10% during the lockdowns). In this case, in a county that houses too many lawyers somebody in the library system read the room and decided to not poke the Militant Normals.

So does this mean anything? Did Arlington's library system come to its senses and decided to correct their evil ways?

Ha! Cartoon face looks like AOC. Is there a deeper story here?

When choosing between a RINO and a Democrat in a November Election, the choice is easy for me as I’m against cutting the dicks off of little boys - a position the RINO likely shares with me, but the Democrat DEFINITELY does not.

Whenever I hear about gay men adopting male children all I can imagine is the homos explaining how natural it is to take another man’s penis into the child’s mouth when he grows up, or his anus. Of course that is also what is taught in the school sex ed, but it is so much more disgusting coming from a parent.

If someone has a filthy and perverted sex life, they should keep it at home and not air it out in public. I personally are so sick of PRIDE and their perverted propaghanda.

My favorite new term is “pedophile-adjacent”.

Respectable people on the left often won’t come out and directly call podcast hosts, historians, lecturers, media personalities, etc... “racists” or “fascists”. Lot’s of times they will say “racist-adjacent” or “fascist-adjacent”.

From now on, all of the sex obsessed SJWs are just “pedophile-adjacent” in my book.

So does this mean anything? Did Arlington's library system come to its senses and decided to correct their evil ways?

An AI query about Arlington libraries suggests the opposite: "The focus [in 2025] shifted from restriction and compromise to more robust, inclusive, and celebratory displays."

Good point. The last time I had the opportunity to vote FOR someone was Ronald Reagan, Otherwise I have voted AGAINT whatever perverted, evil creature the Democrats put up.

[married21]

I love that expression: the Militant Normals.

Only in the woods. Sometimes.

[bobbo666]

It is called recruitment, when you can’t find any out in the open. Like in schoolyards.

This year's "pride" month was a flop. Not a lot of elevated attention to it this time around. Most noticeable was a bunch of organizations and events formed during the Trump 45 administration presumably to harass him failed to materialize. Most common excuse given was "lack of volunteers" to run those things, but we all know the real main reason$.
