North Face risks Bud Light-style boycott over 'summer of Pride' ad featuring drag queen 'Pattie Gonia' telling customers to 'come out... in nature' - as consumers ask 'what's this got to do with the outdoors?'

After Bud Light and Target, The North Face has become the latest American brand to face a boycott for promoting Pride.

The company's Summer of Pride ad was released yesterday on its Instagram page and has already drawn ire from conservative consumers.

The commercial features drag queen 'Pattie Gonia' telling consumers to 'come out... in nature with us!' and declaring themselves a 'real life homosexual!'

'Hi it's me Patti Gonia - a real life homosexual. Today I'm here with the North Face and we are here to invite you to come out... in nature with us!' Pattie - who lists pronouns as 'she', 'he' and 'they', online says.

'Nature lets you be who you are, so, for the second year in a row, The North Face is hosting Summer of Pride together with (they/she) to celebrate you and all the beautiful ways you get outside.'

The brand ran a similar ad last year where Pattie Gonia said: 'Nature lets you be who you are... even gay!

'Ladies and Gentlemens, you are cordially invited to the summer of Pride with my friends at North Face. We're traveling all the gay across America.

'Put on your boots and come out... side with us! See you there besties!'

Less explicit than Target's 'tuck-friendly swim bottoms', North Face's 2023 'Outside Together' collection features rainbow-colored t-shirts and hoodies for teens and adults, and a range of blankets and camping gear.

On Instagram, North Face said it was standing behind the campaign.

Feeling that I’m missing out here since I don’t ever shop target and have NO idea who or what panti-something or other is. Is it something to do with pantifa?

Yep....Korporate Amerika thinks having a good ESG score or some other phony award from the HRC or Pride or whoever will make people like their products.

What they're not seeing is these organizations are using these "awards" as a form of blackmail.

You don't want to get a bad score do you?

See how it works?

“’Hi it’s me Patti Gonia - a real life homosexual..”

Homosexuality used to the the love that dares not speak its name. It’s become the love that won’t shut the **** up.

Most gays that I know don’t like being lumped in with drag queens who dress up like pre-pubescent girls.

Homosexual men already take over picnic areas of State roadside areas and in campground both State and Federal. Them coming out is not the issue; rather, the issue is that regular families use these same picnic tables in daylight hours and sanation as well as exposing others passing by to their carnal unnatural sex acts.

You are *exactly* right. My husband gives me that same answer every day. It’s pretty damn obvious, isn’t it?
