‘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.

It was always about pedophilia.

It will always be about pedophilia.

Everything else is noise.

They tend to uplift, and try to normalize, the worst displays of “being gay” possible.

If “straights” had “straight pride” parades, just to mimic the “gay” parades, they’d be dominated by “Hooters” and “Chippendales” style floats and attire of the “marchers”, with accompaning music everyone “gyrating” to.

[Dr. Franklin]

Back in the 80s, Philadelphia had a city councilman named Fran Rafferty (not the basketball coach) who when asked about gay pride events, remarked that the “fairies” had nothing about which to be pround.

Satan is smiling up at these lost souls. “See you soon!”

Indecent exposure is illegal everywhere except Portland and San Fransicko. Why is this behavior tolerated? Do they suspend laws for pervert parades? Why not arrest the lot of them?

[Dr. Franklin]

"On one such program, a moderated debate about Council passing a gay pride resolution, Rafferty, Thatcher Longstreth, Angel Ortiz, and Mark Segal sat down with host Wally Kennedy. During the debate, Rafferty said, among many things directed to Segal and the gay community: “You people create nothing but malice, you give birth to nothing but frustration and failure. I don’t know where you think you should be proud of anything.” Later in the debate, Raffery said: “Were you born gay? Would you spread your ill on some little child? Being Irish is not perverting some kid, but being gay is perverting some child, and that’s exactly what you foster.”"

I think the first gay pride parades generated more outrage and were truly over the top with all sorts of sex devices, strap ons, etc., and squirting devices that were obscenely utilized to shower bystanders with…substances. That’s when they quit calling them gay pride.

People who have to wave “pride” flags to feel good about themselves really feel very ashamed of themselves.

Honoring those who brought a new disease to the US in early 1980 at an orgy on Fire Island NY. Then spread it all over the US, through blood donations contaminated the blood supply. I still have kin who must go in for a blood test ever so often after having surgery in those days due to contaminated blood.

imho - I think we hit ‘peak Pride’ in 2023. There was a lot of backlash. Tide is starting to turn.

Parents who take their kids to these sexual fetish parades are usually trailer trash anyhow but it’s still sad to see this happen to young children.

[Thapsus_epiphany]

The rate of alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide and early deaths from incurable diseases is much higher in the homosexual communities than the rest of the country. These numbers belie the concept of ‘pride’.
These so called “pride” events receive media coverage out of all proportion to their actual percentage of the population.
Back in the 1980’s and before the European Union censorship began in 1990, most European countries did their own studies to determine the percentage of homosexuals in their midsts, mostly because of costs to their national healthcare systems.
They all came up with the same numbers, independently of each other, and the numbers ranged between 2 and 3%.
Even with the propaganda by the educational systems and international media, their numbers haven’t increased by more than a couple of percentage points.
The idea that people should be proud of engaging in sexual deviation is, in and of itself, self destructive and unfulfilling.
Not to mention, it’s a gigantic lie. It’s behavior engaged in by people with no conscience, and they know it.
Besides, being ‘proud’ of how you have sex is actually kind of stupid, isn’t it?

Self aggrandizement parades for the mentally ill. Some harm or kill themselves. Some harm or kill others.

[Clarancebeaks]

Normal, everyday people don’t go to queer parades much less bring their kids. The people watchng the parade are as bad or worse than the lowest most depraved faggot out there marching. If they had a parade like this around these parts or I suspect in most of America, there would be bloodshed.

Yeah...a one-way trip to Hell.

“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.”

There is nothing to be proud of in their sexual practices,both men and women.
Nothing!

The end of an age is upon us.
The work of the Missionary now falls on deaf minds.
We will now return to the society that was Rome at the time of Christ.
Sporting all the moral and sexual “ norms” that they practiced.
The enviroment is being set for the return of our true King.
I pray for all to be in the fold of the Good Shepherd in these times.
Be in this world not of this world.

pride is a sin along with sodomy, so during these parades, they are celebrating 2 sins simultaneously!

Way to multitask!
