Pride Before the Fall

~I believe there's only another seven or twelve weeks till "Pride Month" ends, so I trust readers will forgive me for belatedly attending to a story I didn't get to because of my legal travails. In Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, the festivities began with the Pride Parade being disrupted by pro-Hamas protestors chanting "No Pride in Genocide". The American right mostly played it as just another pass-the-popcorn I-don't-have-a-dog-in-this-fight moment:

Pro Palestine protesters blocking the Philly pride parade from continuing is a perfect distillation of left wing politics. This is where it inevitably ends: with two left wing interest groups colliding in an oppression Olympics standoff: pic.twitter.com/bP8BGxEWaE — Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) June 2, 2024

But, in fact, it was rather more interesting than that. It wasn't just any old members of the rapidly Islamising western left shutting down the LGBTQWERTY crowd, but the local chapter of Queers4Palestine. That's another phenomenon the right played for laughs - Turkeys4Thanksgiving, etc. The dominant figure in the Philly scenes was apparently the biker from the Village People:

just out of curiosity — Do any of you have any gay friends/family/acquaintances? If so, do they really care about the pride month nonsense?

Wife’s gay uncle pretty much disowned the family over Trump in 2016. I’m pretty sure he’d be all in on this garbage.

I have an old friend from College I’ve kept in touch with all these years later. He’s not at all like any of this. He’s been in a long term relationship for a couple decades, doesn’t put anything out there, doesn’t participate in any of this. Just want’s to live his life quiet and out of any spot light. You’ld never know just talking to him. We’ve had a few off the cuff short conversations of all this pride grandstanding and he considers it just that. Ego driven attention seeking nonsense. He wants nothing to do with it.

... in people assigned male at birth...

No one is assigned male or female at birth. God assigns male or female and that happens at fertilization, or shortly thereafter. What happens at birth is not that your "gender" is assigned, it's that your sex is recorded.

no, but a straight white jewish friend was dragged (albeit willingly) to the pussy march by his “partner.”

it’s just a different take on assigning a “right to life” at birth. Same logic, really.

Exactly!!! A while back, a Freeper posted the following..... Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was.

There are two sexes: male and female. There are three genders ( a grammatical term): masculine, feminine and neutral ( not referring to either sex but only to people in general). Everything else is mental illness ---------------------------

Most I’ve encountered are the same.

A few will admit that the gay acceptance changes have made life more tolerable overall but that the extremist wackos are not improving things. And are embarrassed by that stuff.

The ones who want to be left alone to live their lives, no!
The attention whores, yes!

“Wife’s gay uncle…”

HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

Say queer, and you will be labeled as a hater. Say homosexual, and you are giving an accurate description, not a slur.
