The Cougar Pride Center, which describes itself as an independent resource center serving Brigham Young University (BYU) students, hosted an event titled “Provo Pride” on April 11, which featured an LGBTQ pride march through downtown Provo, Utah, followed by a pride festival at Memorial Park.
The event featured more than a dozen LGBTQ-themed vendors and a concert with several LGBTQ performers, including drag queen Colette Coins, who self-describes as an “argumentative antithetical dreamgirl” on Instagram.
One vendor stand at the festival featured apparent Molotov cocktails for sale alongside a painting of Donald Trump’s severed head being served on a platter, which was priced at $150. A photo from the event shows a baby in a stroller just behind one of the vendor tables.
Another video from the event shows multiple young children, seemingly attending the event with their families at the park, batting a piñata of Utah Sen. Mike Lee until it broke open, leaving the severed head on the ground.
“While my art may not be politically correct, it isn’t a call to action or a threat — it is an expression of my 1st Amendment Right,” said Sav Kubensis, the vendor responsible for creating the painting. “Not unlike Mike Lee’s social media posts mocking the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker last year.”
“My work is highly symbolic and may not appeal to everyone, but my LDS grandma doesn’t have anything bad to say about it,” she said.
The event guidelines urged Kubensis and other vendors to “Please, when preparing to table at the event, make this an event you can invite your grandma or your LDS family to,” adding, “Let’s make this pride uplifting, wholesome, colorful, [and] community-centered.”
Founded in 2021, the Cougar Pride Center is an independent organization whose mission is to “empower queer individuals,” “celebrate progress,” and “advocate for change through collaborative advocacy” for students at BYU.
The group has hosted hundreds of events since its inception, including weekly meetings for queer students as well as an annual “Drag Pageant” held each October.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which runs BYU, officially maintains the position that homosexual behavior is wrong, emphasizing on its website that “[homosexual] attraction itself is not a sin, but acting on it is.”
As previously reported by Campus Reform, student groups at Brigham Young University have a history of pro-LGBTQ advocacy.
Campus Pride, a nonprofit “working to create a safer college environment for LGBTQ students,” has awarded several “Social Justice Mini-Grants for Activism” to BYU students, supporting a number of LGBTQ initiatives at the school, including a “family friendly drag show.”
Campus Reform has reached out to BYU and the Cougar Pride Center for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.

So this is how monkeypox is spread. Superspreader event of the mind and body diseased. It is like a horror movie come to life.
Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goeth before destruction…”
MORMONS?????? OMG!!!
I’m glad hate has no home there! /s
Pride, DEI, BLM, and the all-encompassing artificial word “empower” are all part of a complex of scams that have infected our world. Their only purpose is to extract money from those who have it, and funnel it to those who don’t, or at least pretend not to have it.
The real victims of these scams are those who involve themselves in an attempt to plaster over their own failings to make them feel worthy and important when, in fact, they are neither.
The leaders that, with the mindless support of the liberal intelligentsia, are pushing these scams are basically thieves who pocket much of the proceeds that are supposed to go to the victims.
It’s all about the money, and finding out who is able to create and direct the cash flow into their own accounts.
“…it is an expression of my 1st Amendment Right,..”
Well… that works two ways, now, doesn’t it…?
Sodom & Gomorrah......Father God’s response!
What is next for that crowd? Picnic at Donner’s Pass - bring your own non-alcoholic drink and meat will be provided.
