Man's engagement post showing him on bended knee in front of his glamorous girlfriend sparks brutal backlash: 'Condolences to your wife'

A man's engagement post showing him proposing to his glamorous girlfriend has sparked brutal backlash online.

Addison Smith, 24, posted photos on Sunday with his now fiancée, Charis Edwards, 22, a senior booking producer for 'Lou Dobbs Tonight.'

Smith accompanied the pictures with a caption that quickly divided the internet.

'Pride month is so defeated. I love you @charisedwardss,' Smith said in a post on X.

Smith told DailyMail.com after he went viral: 'Just when we thought our engagement weekend couldn’t get any better, we triggered an entire army of libs in the process. We can’t think of a better way to cap off pride month.'

In the engagement photos, Smith was seen on his right knee, dressed in tan khaki pants, and a blue floral button down, with a shimmering diamond ring inside a black box.

Edwards wore a short pastel pink dress with a large bow in the back, as she embraced her soon-to-be husband.

But the caption appeared to cause friction, with viewers flocking to share their reactions - many who are members of the LGBTQ community expressing how disrespected they felt.

'It's not really clear to me you needed to make such a beautiful moment about LGBTQ people, especially when we want y'all to find your happiness in family as much as we do. Hoping you find peace in this next chapter,' one said.

'Imagine proposing to someone and immediately thinking about how it affect gays. Which it doesn’t,' said another.

Another wrote: 'I send her my sympathies,' while another added: 'Condolences to your wife.'

'So what you’re saying is as you’re proposing to a woman what you’re thinking about is gay people,' another person commented.

Another said: 'This is so sad.. so very very sad. What should have been one of the greatest moments of

LOLOL...homo / lesbo knickers in a wad. Love it.
"Make June Great Again." wrote Smith. Then he added: "Make June not gay again."

"...many people negatively reacted to Smith's post" (awwwe...so sad, too bad).

He continued "...she's awesome and being straight rocks."

And more! Smith wrote "Endless angry comments. The libs are triggered. PRIDE MONTH IS DECIMATED!! HUGE WHITE BOY SUMMER W."

Those lib freakazoids can sure dish it out, but their knees buckle when it's thrown back at them.

“She’s way above his pay grade.”

I don’t see that. Looks like a great match to me. Cute kids.

Does the LGBTQ+-/$%£ group ever consider they actually owe just a tiny bit of respect to us “hets”?

never forget that the globohomos and neoCONs helped create the modern world where this is considered ‘controversial’ or ‘offensive’.

His girlfriend looks a lot like America's favorite new actress Sydney Sweeney.

Mr Smith’s girlfriend is very hot, and I congratulate him on that and wish the happy couple well in their engagement, but I’m not quite understanding why he chose to mix “pride month” into the subject. No one is more disgusted than me by the LGBT month/agenda, but it’s such a sad, degenerate topic why would he want to even talk about this degeneracy in the same breath as mentioning his beautiful fiancee? Not the classiest move.

The gay sh!t is everywhere! Lots of homo flags at the checkout registers at REI. Puke!

Yesterday my son and I were at the IndyCar race at Laguna Seca. Like NASCAR, this is a quintessential masculine, high testosterone sport. Gay crap was pleasantly and completely absent from the track and teams.

Then, while walking through the paddock admiring the beautiful race machines, we came to the DHL garage with their car noses and wings on their rack. At first, I thought that was just a colorful paint job, but I was wondering...

Then, right above the wings was the spoiler removing all doubt...

"Delivered with pride" would have been a good slogan a couple decades ago, but not now.

They won the race, too! Those PRIDE boys were really moving.

The mistake was having a public performance on social media. All else follows from that.

Well said. That’s because they’re nothing but spoiled brat crybabies in need of good hard backside reddening spanks that will make it difficult to sit down for a month.

My take on: We can’t think of a better way to cap off pride month.

Maybe they didn't mean it as an in-your-face comment to the LGBTQWERTY nags. Maybe she thought of it as inclusive to them, like their marriage is good like gay "marriages". I saw it as them trying to be goody-goody with the gay lobby, and the gay lobbyists making them regretting it.

Social engagement farming/drama farming. If people think its ‘owning the libs’ so be it, but I just look at it as another side of the same coin. Attention whores.

Gay people aren’t real big on diversity it seems.

Yes, I know it’s “Clarice.” We work with what we’ve got.
