‘Pride’ Parades Are Nothing But Massive Humiliation Rituals

Hypersexualized ‘pride’ parades function as humiliation rituals and an excuse to push sexual deviancy in people’s faces.

Warning: This article contains sexual imagery.

It’s that time of year again. The time when, for 30 seemingly never-ending days, rainbow flags (or whichever new convoluted color-coded version they’ve conjured up this year) take over entertainment, corporate logos, and the streets of cities across the country. Not even ruby-red states can escape the influence of “Pride Month.”

The centerpiece of this debauched revelry is the “pride” parade. Now there are so many of these in the U.S. that some outlets feel the need to rank them, and even smaller locales feel the need to host festivities. With the growth of these processions as a nationwide phenomenon, the frequency of grown men showing up to them in full BDSM gear, stripper attire, or even just a diaper has also increased. These men also use the occasion to act in almost every sexually vulgar way possible, including twerking in front of small children. This is a deliberate choice. A feature, not a bug.

Here are a couple of examples just from this year’s parades (so far):

Reasonable people surely wonder why men feel the need to dress and act that provocatively at what is often advertised as “family-friendly” events. But “pride” parades and the LGBT movement as a whole increasingly exist almost solely to promote and flaunt sexual depravity to normal, everyday people.

These hypersexualized “pride” parades function as public humiliation rituals. It’s not really about celebrating love or diversity or whatever BS the left uses as a smokescreen. It’s about shoving sexual deviancy in people’s faces and daring them, “What are you going to do about it?” Left-wing radicals know full well that, if anything, they’ll be praised for doing it, so they gloat that they’ve successfully made LGBT-identifying people sacrosanct in our culture.

In their minds, they’ve already won. The very fact that no one seems to bat an eye at the objectively insane concept of throwing a parade celebrating people’s sexual proclivities shows that LGBT people have achieved a favored status in American society. And they want to rub your face in it by escalating with ever more lewd and grotesque displays.

Every leftist movement wishes to challenge and ultimately destroy the society they feel has “oppressed” them. The LGBT movement is no different. It wants to completely annihilate anything resembling traditional sexual or romantic norms, and “Pride Month” serves as the bridgehead for pushing the societal envelope even further, until eventually it breaks down altogether.

Above all, rainbow activists crave opportunities to push their sexual fetishes on normal Americans and innocent children and receive a “thank you” in return from a thoroughly browbeaten and brainwashed populace. Judging by those loud cheers in the videos above, they’ve convinced a large section of the population to applaud the annihilation of foundational cultural mores and revere the vanguard of this degenerate revolution.

Because of this hubris, LGBT activists have become a lot more open about their true intentions over the last few years. In 2021, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus achieved instant infamy when it released a song with the lyrics, “We’ll convert your children. Happens bit by bit. Quietly and subtly. And you will barely notice it.“

Last year, attendees at the NYC Drag March during “Pride Month” chanted “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.” One commentator at a “pride” parade in Los Angeles this year told KTLA that his “favorite part” of the event — which featured drag queens and scantily clad men — was “going out there and seeing all the kids.”

The most sinister pushers of radical LGBT ideology consistently hide behind some of the most innocent imagery, such as rainbows, unicorns, and more. But they seemingly can’t help themselves — whether out of sexual compulsion or arrogance borne from the notion they’re untouchable in modern America — from showing people their true colors. One must only have eyes to see.

Their eternal destinations won’t be so enjoyable unless they turn to Jesus Christ before it’s too late.

They don’t deserve to be parents then.

Indeed.

They can always turn to Jesus before it’s too late, but if they refuse, then it’s a sad choice they’ve made for their souls.

“Why is this behavior tolerated? “

I worked for General Dynamics. In every contract I read there was a clause about maintaining a gay and lesbian outreach or some other gay related cause. There was always something about DEI, although it wasn’t called that yet. ESG hadn’t come along yet, but I suspect it’s there now. If you wanted all of your award fee, the extra money companies get for meeting all the contractual causes, you’d better be able to demonstrate you’d met everything. At some point I noticed there were bumper stickers in the lot reading things like, “I’m a lesbian. Deal with it.”

This is not just tolerated; it’s demanded by governments at all levels. Not just military contracts. The problem is a “movement” can’t ever be “satisfied.” We went from gays, “just wanting to be treated like everyone else” to “you must bake the cake, or we’ll sue you” in about thirty minutes after marriage became legal. The problem is the people running the movement are employed. If the movement obtains its objectives, then they are no longer employed. Therefore, each time they achieve and objective they dig up the goal posts and move them further towards crazy. And yes, a part of “the movement” has always been about normalizing pedophilia. It has also always been connected with the Left’s desire to break apart the family and the West’s cultural and military power. Those things are sometimes separate, sometimes intertwined and they often support each other politically and monetarily.

This is “tolerated” because it is massively well funded and organized.

The 2nd shortest verse in the Bible:

Remember Lot’s wife. Luke 17:32

[Right Brigade]

“If they had a parade like this around these parts or I suspect in most of America, there would be bloodshed.”

I think you a wrong.
The decent folk would let them go about their wicked ways and not raise a hand for its suppurt or for violence against it.
Why braid a whip to fight against them .
Ceasar will just make you a laughing stock or an inmate.

Interesting post.

The headline is that military industrial state corporations will do anything for government contracts.

Anything.

That—my FRiend is called evil.

They are evil.

[Right Brigade]

“That—my FRiend is called evil.

They are evil.”

Enjoy ...
The payoffs they expect will not be the payoffs they receive.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

[Gen.Blather]

“The headline is that military industrial state corporations will do anything for government contracts.”

My take is slightly different. The guys at the top of the pyramid take home six and seven figure “bonuses.” The amount of those bonuses is determined by the corporate objectives. If the objective is to get all of the available award fee, then those guys will do whatever is required to make that goal. Also, the expense of all that stuff, the outreach program, the cost of compliance with the global warming initiates, the ISO 9000 program, is all folded into the cost of the project. The company profit is a percentage of the cost of the project. What company or CEO isn’t trying to optimize the company profit? If they don’t do that, they get replaced. They aren’t maximizing shareholder value. Everyone along the line, the individual congressmen who withhold their vote until they get their set-aside, the people in the military who want THEIR project to be more expensive because it increases their rank and value to the service, and all those people in the company who make percentages all know what they’re doing, and everyone is doing it for their personal (and corporate) advantage.

This is how the system is set up to operate. No individual is particularly at fault. The system has, with some modifications for whatever the personal goals were at the time, worked like this since the Revolutionary War. Go back and look as some of the incredibly stupid contracts made during the Civil War for examples.

Yes, it’s evil. But I don’t see any way to reform it given how the system is set up to work. The reform would have to start in Congress. And how likely is that, given how every individual under the present system, gets his reward?

Sometimes good kids come from bad parents... and sometimes from stupid parents and sometimes from 'educated' parents who want to be 'with it'. God works his miracles in mysterious ways. The House of David also descended from Lot and his two twisted daughters...

That's not our concern. But it is the job of the rest of us to tell the sexual weirdo community what they can and can't do on city streets.

These parades are way beyond defining deviancy down they're celebrating deviancy. It's the job of the rest of us to tell the sexual weirdo community what they can and can't do on city streets. What they do in their clubs and bedrooms is their business, what they do on public streets is our business.

There is something called integrity and honor.

Those corporate executives have done.

They should be ashamed of themselves.

Their souls were bought far too cheaply.

[Ge0ffrey]

Pride parades generally consist of one homosexual fetish following another.

[Gen.Blather]

This is a two-sided coin. The corporate officers are doing what Congress has asked them to do. Failure do that fails to optimize shareholder value, which they are REQUIRED to do. Which would more Vilate honor and integrity? In your analysis you solely blame the corporation when they are working with the rules set up by Congress. It’s not the other way around.

I think we all understand that politicians are largely self-interested scumbags. But they too are operating for their own, and secondarily, the best interest of their constituents. Some of those loud, nasty constituents are evil bastards who want to destroy the culture as it once existed. (I put it that way because the culture I grew up under is well and truly dead. Note that men are allowed to beat up women in formerly women’s sports. Criminals are let go while innocent protestors against cultural corruption are in prison.)

The point is, turn the coin over and blame both sides. But, how, exactly, could we change it?

[cgbg]

It is not about changing it.

It is about each individual being able to look in the mirror and see an honorable person looking back at them.

There are no excuses or legitimate explanations for catering to perverts.

They should—and any moral person must—quit first.
