So far, virtually no acknowledgement of Pride month by federal gov’t
Watermark Out News ^ | May 28, 2025 | Christopher Kane

Just a few days from the start of June, there has been virtually no acknowledgment of Pride month by federal government agencies this year, a striking departure from recent policy and practice under the Biden-Harris administration and even under President Donald Trump’s first term.

Some limited and more localized observances have been preserved or renewed in 2025, for example by the U.S. courts’ webpage celebrating history-making LGBTQ jurists like Judges Deborah A. Batts and J. Paul Oetken of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which notes on its website plans to actively participate in WorldPride 2025.

The paltriness of Pride this year comes pursuant to several policy changes under Trump 2.0 such as executive orders narrowing the definition of gender to exclude trans and nonbinary people and banning activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, which have led to agency-wide changes including the removal of LGBTQ focused website content and dissolution of “affinity groups.”

Thank God! A breather for sanity.

I'm old enough to remember when they "just wanted to be left alone," not demanding attention and accolades for an entire month.

2025, The year of the tipping point on nonsensical government and the public’s tolerance. I thought Bud Light would do it, but it appears to be evenly split between black women and Gender benders. Hopefully it’s gone like Pet Rocks, Cabbage Patch Kids, and Buggy whips, never to resurface.

True.
You don’t ever see white American month.
You don’t ever see them talking about a white caucus.
Why does everyone else need a month or a day?
It’s getting past ridiculous.

Pride was the original sin.

Celebrating it is, perhaps, not the wisest thing to do.

This whole pride thing is such meaningless BS. It’s like someone being proud of having blue eyes or liking hot dogs.

Ignoring it would be good.

Repudiating it would be ideal.

We can ignore evil—but it will not ignore us.

I’ve never been able to figure out what fags or trannys are proud of. Has anybody figured it out?

I heard Trump canceled it for the fed gov this year. No pride flags anywhere in the capital of DC. No acknowledgement of it at all.

There are still a few days.

Sick of this crap.

Hope Trump helps stop this blatant preference via celebration (which many orgs are starting to admit with their wording never mind their disgusting f(l)ags.). Not tolerance, which we already had…celebration.

Next up, eliminate the idiotic “Juneteenth” (picture buck-toothed fool with a speech impediment).

This sickens me, our hea site birthday month for my immediate family was June, and my sister’s birthday was the 19th. Mine is the only one left, as my father and sister Long died, but my birthday is still in there.

Generally, when someone makes a brag of being proud it's a sure sign that he's anything but.

Norm MacDonald’s “pride month” joke was hilarious, although kind of raunchy.

But it’s a raunchy subject.

I pray that it's true.

I’m old enough to remember when a person’s sex life was considered to be private. Now, it’s all about shoving in your face and down your throat. The only people pushing this “pride” stuff are the ones making a living off it.
