I Fought for Gay Rights — But Trans Activists Have Destroyed the Meaning of Pride
New York Post ^ | June 1, 2023 | Bruce Bawer

I’m old enough to have been active in gay rights when you could be arrested in some American jurisdictions for a kiss.

Back then, a rainbow flag outside a bar or other establishment meant you could walk in without being kicked out — or worse. Flying it was a risk — and an act of humanity.

Then gay rights emerged, and Pride marches — i.e., earnest demonstrations for equality — morphed into Pride parades — i.e., silly displays. Pride Month was born, complete with corporate sponsors.

Problems everywhere. Where’s the “gay” ? I’m not seeing it.

It’s all part of the same ideological grab bag, along with the weird new determination to expose kids to drag queens (a tiny subset of gay people who have no more business practicing their craft in front of minors than hookers or morticians).

The drag queens are bad enough but the "parents" who voluntarily bring their kids to these acts of debauchery should be pilloried and have their children taken to safer confines.

What did the gays expect? Did they think they were going to get what they wanted, without all of the other freaks demanding the same?

So is he saying that he is upset because his support to normalize one kind of insanity has enabled another based on his ?

Thought provoking article. I take exception to one of the sentences:

“Most important, when you terminate business relationships because of their advocacy, make your reason clear.”

I say don’t do that because it could lead to a bad reference to a future customer or employer. Don’t fish by throwing dynamite in the water. Work your trot lines instead.

They also said gay marriage wouldn’t lead to anything else. Some of us knew better, though.

That’s right, He’ll take it back when he puts the devil in the lake of fire! By the way, when the alphabet nazis hijacked the rainbow, they left off indigo and violet, they only have six colors!

Sounds like civil war is brewing in the LGBLT community. Good. They made a big mistake openly grooming kids.

Pride, as in proud of being mentally ill, and denying the reality of getting treatment.

Just watch when the Muslims take over. They are already creeping into every city and running for office.

The queers will be dreaming of the good old days when they only had Christians nagging about sodomy.

There is a group working on taking the rainbow back.

Here’s a video of a Christian Rabbi spearheading the movement:
