What do you do when the LGBT coercion gets personal?
American Thinker ^ | 3 Jun, 2023 | Mary Sholl

Every time I go to London, I visit the Tower of London and sit in the little room below grade level, where Thomas More spent his last months. I am reminded often these days of Thomas More and King Henry VIII and the kerfuffle over Anne Boleyn. More, you see, would not sign the oath and proclaim the legitimacy of the marriage of the king to Boleyn because of the inconvenient matter of Henry’s divorce from Catherine. More, good lawyer that he was, determined that his safety resided in him saying nothing — keeping his mouth shut. For a time, it was enough.

And then it wasn’t. Only a statement affirming the marriage and the succession of children, if any, of the marriage would do. And when his devout Catholic conscience would not permit him to assent to the marriage, he found himself convicted of treason and ended up with his head on a stake on London Bridge.

I am not concerned about ending up on a stake of a Chicago bridge, but I also find myself where silence is no longer permitted by the DIE fascists who control every one, it seems, of our institutions. Compelled speech is the order, and I do mean order, of the day in every business endeavor.

And now it is June, and all institutions must proclaim their approval of and solidarity with the modern-day version of Henry’s ill begotten marriage — post the rainbow flag, everywhere and anywhere, or be considered a bigot. On corporate websites, on email, on Facebook profiles, silence is no longer okay. Only in-your-face, loud and thunderous approval of that to which you are indifferent or do not approve will be accepted. And why?

The 2SLGBTQIA+ mob need your affirmation. Like Henry, they know there are issues with the

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto as saying: “You cannot invade mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind each blade of grass.”

This also goes for invasion from within by the Marxists currently occupying Washington

Dear DEI Coercer:

The Big Corporation wishes to enjoy the broadest possible customer base possible. Our paying customers will always be our key priority. This means that Big Corporation will be minding its own business from now on and will not butt into social and political matters. We need to be able to provide reliable employment and medical benefits to our diverse and inclusive workforce.

“Pride” approval, ESG, DEI, etc. are all Social-Credit scoring systems. Just like China.

Stop being/making nice with ANYONE who is passive or supportive of the debauchery in society... Grow a pair of stones and simply look them in the eye and tell them to FO... Then turn and walk away and never look back...

40 fkng years of making nice has been nothing but a catalyst to strengthen their footholds...

“They had a children’s pride clothing display right inside the front door.”

I unfortunately got ads on Yahoo mail showing a pair of panties with a place for partially dismembered naughty bits. Repeatedly.

“I fought for equal rights for gay people. I stood up for civil liberties and freedom for all. I did that because it was and is right.“

So pat yourself on the back sit down and STFU! Mission accomplished. You elevated deviance with the normal and now the deviants are on the loose.

“I really don’t care for Mike Lindell”

Why? It must be pretty bad to have to announce the caveat.

This is true.

One problem I can’t get around is whoever is orchestrating this knows that and seems to have captured everything.

Bud light gets kicked in the junk, then all the rest follow them. Eventually no one cares, and we have ourselves a “new normal”.

This “pride” month has been a force.... I bet next year it’s worse but the reaction is less.

True, but, even though many targets are known, none have been brought to justice as yet. A lot of the theoretical, but no dead traitors.

Never give up your weapons. The communists like using lawfare now but they will come to try and murder us.

I wonder what would happen if everyone THANKED those flying the “rainbow” flags for honoring God’s message of his covenant with man? Might make them rethink their idiocy. We need to throw THAT in THEIR face. Most would not want anything associated with Christianity. Just a thought. In fact I may start writing sime letters to local biz with such flags.

I do not understand why anyone takes that seriously. Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc., have shown that the fighyers jets can be beaten by determined people on the ground.

The only way back is bloodied streets. And to date, there is absolutely no sign of it even beginning to spark somewhere.

Back in the 90s I attended countless protests and gatherings some hosted by FR itself!! But in these days, when was the last time you seen a few hundred thousand gather to peacefully protest anything??

I'm sometimes glad I'm almost dead. Seriously...

True to a point....yet....they were willing to actually fight AND die for what they believed in.

I haven't seen that determination from our side. We do have a lot of keyboard warriors.

Only one problem with that.

The Fag Flag or Homo-bow has six colors an God's rainbow has 7 colors.

6 an imperfect number. The number of man. The number of Satan and his two friends 666.

7 the perfect number. The number of God.

How do you support companies that refuse to go along with the DIE rating crap?

Easy: I asked my financial advisor which companies DO NOT go along with DIE or ESG and he knew. I invested in those companies. They're doing remarkably well in this "economy" such as it is.
