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.

The owner of North Face owned a big chunk of Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. His ex-wife and co-founder is a big supporter of Hillary and Soros. She doesn’t own the company any more.

I don’t know if the Patagonia Company owns any of South America. They aren’t affiliated with North Face, but they also support left-wing causes.

“they should be featuring outdoorsy lesbians”

It’s really weird they went with the over-the-top freak, isn’t it? You’d indeed think they would go after the “outdoorsy lesbians” if they need to go woke. At least if they stayed away from the too-chummy “Brokeback Mountain” creepy imagery. There are ways to market to the homo crowd without alienating your base.

Unpacking from house move yesterday, trashed the North Face gear. I’ve had it up to here. Adios perverts. Never again.

Outdoorsy lesbians are now considered right-wing extremists?

Aren’t their clothes mainly for leftists? Not sure this will even be a blip, and could actually increase their sales to their usual left leaning clientele. Totally different than Bud Light.

Given how whacky the left is, you may be correct.

I've got some 40+ yr old stuff, from when it was US made.

Still quite functional.

Won't buy any of the new crap, especially, now.

Really, NF?

You want to tell parents to let their kids go into the woods with a mentally ill, sexual deviant?

My go to are Sitka (clothing) GoRuck (boots), Sage and Simms (local) for fishing, for packs I like Mystery Ranch, for tactical gear and firearms I’m all over the place… tons of mom and pop outfits out there turning out great gear. I also have tons of vintage gear that had been handed down to me or I’ve bought at estate sales. SW Montana is a goldmine for old school gear at estate sales!

And, if even having a month was bad enough, now they are declaring that the entire summer is for pride. Gave them an inch…

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/bud-light-budweiser-havent-tweeted-over-month-backlash-over-transgender-influencer-continues

“Bud Light, Budweiser haven’t tweeted in over a month as backlash over transgender influencer continues”

What can they say that hasn’t already been said? The company is “all in” on the trans-lifestyle. Their consumer base is not and are speaking loudly by abandoning the brand.

Overpriced stuff that was only sold because of branding/marketing. Now there is literally no reason for it.

I refuse to disgrace the word “gay” when discussing QUEERS, so I guess I would have to call their crap; North Face = FAG!
