Pride Month

I was just scrolling through facebook when I came across this little gem.

Oh my goodness, June is rapidly becoming my favorite month of the year!

I have nothing against gay men, gay women, or the gay community. For what it’s worth, my girlfriend and I have been together four years with no end in sight and it’s my second-longest relationship (exceeded in length only by ex-husband, who trooned out.) So, my fellow same-sex attracted, exclusively or flexibly, when I sneer about Pride I’m not sneering about you/us. I’m sneering about the literal perverts who basically did a stolen-valor thing with the gay rights movement. Makes my blood boil.

Errands took me to a number of stores today in my East Coast/New England-adjacent town. (Okay, I might have gone into Target on purpose, but my other transvestigations were linked with legitimate errands.)

Five Below: Scanning the merchandise, I managed to spot a small, lame fridge magnet, the kind that’s like a thick business card, in the rainbow print with PRIDE written on it. And then I saw this.

So gloriously, specifically, explicitly gay it’s practically transphobic. I love it. Bonus: In honor of the real star of the month, this t-shirt from the clothing section ...

Starbucks: Was in and out almost immediately; nothing, absolutely nothing, to see. It was almost eerie. No rainbow lanyards. No nametag flair. Not even a rainbow coffee mug.

Dollar Tree: The Pride endcap from last year did not make a reappearance! Guess the fact that all that crap was still hanging there on the 4th of July showed up on a spreadsheet somewhere. Buh-bye!

Stop & Shop: My heart sank a little when I saw an ugly PRIDE balloon floating over a table in the bakery area. A sign on the table proclaimed “Pride in Every Bite”, and the table was covered with assorted rainbow-themed bakery items. Boxes of cupcakes, slices of rainbow cake, bags of rainbow bagels. But hold the phone – I’ve seen that rainbow cake before. Every damn time I’ve come here. It has nothing to do with Pride! And those bagels – the ones that my family jokes are made of ground-up clowns – those aren’t special either. They’re a year-round item. So what are we left with? Three or four balloons and some poor schmuck in the bakery was forced to frost colored cupcakes. And it wasn’t even proper rainbow frosting, just a box with a red cupcake, a blue cupcake, a green one, etc. They were hideous.

While Googling for pics of the bagels, I learned a bit about the history of Stop & Shop with Pride. It’s well-documented that they donated “more than $80K” to Pride. But look closer; that was in 2021. And honestly, coming from a company with an annual revenue in the low-teen billions, that's practically insulting.

More googling unearths a 2021 article on a site called Boston Moms.

This year, I encourage you to stock up for your pride celebration without ever leaving your house by trying Stop & Shop delivery services!


Hmm. Maybe they have a point about Pride getting too commercial. That is downright crass. Scrolling further down, we see this:

Jesus Lord please tell me that kid wasn’t lectured about his mother’s politics. Don’t let him be thinking it’s anything more than a nice cake his mom made with him. Also, note to Mom: I’ve got the common sense to block out your kid’s face before reposting the photo, as you didn’t have the common sense to keep from posting a picture of your kid online in the first place.

Target: Like last year, it’s in the women’s clothing section. I was disappointed to see that it seemed to be all-new merch. It was also the only place I saw the Progress flag, or whatever it’s called. There was also this:

Authentically Me. Ah yes, it is a truth universally acknowledged that only by injecting hormones and surgically mutilating my body can I become Authentically Me. Still and all --

Bottom line: Aside from a single fridge magnet, three out of the five establishments I visited had no specifically-targeted Pride displays at all. Only Target made any real effort. Tell me, is it too soon yet to start getting excited for what Pride 2026 will – or rather, won’t – bring?
 
In my eyes since the government bans businesses from discriminating against people on the basis of race and sex then by extension that should apply to sexuality. The thing is though, the business could still refuse gay costumers all they'd have to do is just find a bullshit reason to not serve them and be done. Or the government allows for businesses to discriminate on the basis of race, sex, etc. To be honest though it's kinda a nothingburger since there is always an option outside of a christian bakery.
Maybe I’m remembering wrong but wasn’t the point of contention not that the Christian bakery wouldn’t serve gay customers, but that they refused to make a specifically gay wedding cake? Which is even dumber because that’s hardly discrimination, they’re a private business and are free to reject custom cake jobs they don’t like. I’m not gonna go into a gay bakery and expect that they’ll make me a GOD HATES FAGS cake.
Don’t expect the Alphabet Creatures to become tasteful with influencers like Lilly “Tino” Contino:

In case it is not yet clear that this guy does not belong in the women’s restroom:


What a great time to be a narcissistic, exhibitionist pervert with no sense of shame.


Here’s why: because it is the primary purpose of Disney, as the quintessential neoliberal corporation, to ram shitlibbery down customers’ throats.
This shit makes my blood boil, just the fact that he’s obviously relishing in the fact that he can openly invade spaces that give women privacy and make a social media career out of it. It should make any normal person angry.
 
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with showing a little pride for who you are. I mean, shit, wear a button, throw on a tie-dye shirt, and paint a little flag on your cheek or whatever. It just... it has to be in moderation, like anything and everything in this grand current that's our lives. You can kvetch all day about how pride itself is a sin, but it's that same feeling of self-accomplishment and recognition, that despite the world being as malevolent as it is, you're still here. That's worth something.

That being said, as a gaybo myself, I am sincerely pleading for my fellow homos to quit being so fucking insufferable and just enjoy yourselves in a respectable, manageable way.

I just want to hold hands with my bf in a park while eating an overpriced street vendor taco in the summer. Don't ruin that for me by being a faggot.
As a certified faggot myself, this made me less homophobic. Thank you.

I'm taking this as an indirect call for violence or open discrimination at the least. Could somebody tell them that people don't like having sexuality shoved down their throats?

Trannies think people who don't want to have sex with them are committing violent acts of discrimination.
Liberals have watered down the word "discrimination" from being stoned to death, to meaning someone doesn't like you.
The term "cotton ceiling" they coined, which is discourse over "if lesbians are transphobic for not sleeping with transwomen", is supposed to be a reference to underwear - they feel like they have not been given equal access to the "cotton ceiling" of women's underwear.
The coming out of the closet as straight DOES exist actually, if they grow up in an abusive enough feminazi household which expresses high enough hate for men.
No, son, you see, you're too young to know your gender yet, so we are going to raise you as nonbinary and bring you to child drag shows.
They've been transing toddlers. There's so many headlines about transgender/nonbinary parents coincidentally also having transgender/nonbinary kids, even if adopted.

I think the same principle applies.

This is kinda shit we don't see, but I remember hearing a case of a Female identifying male who in the middle of therapy said "mommy, you don't love me when I'm a boy" which is kinda the crux of it. a lot of the mothers who raise this ALSO seem to have massive issues with men and nothing but negative to say about them

So picture yourself as a 7 year old boy, your mother saying men are scum, shit, disgusting vile apes and abusers, and ALSO saying anyone can be a woman....would you WANT to identify as a scum shit vile ape and abuser?

This crap happens so damn much, I think most trannies experienced horrible sexism before transitioning.

Same with pooners. A lot of pooners were molested/raped, so they associate womanhood with inherently being about sex, and therefore think becoming a man will "protect" them from future rape. Their whole ideology is based on stereotypes. So a lot of MTFs just want to embody being an empathetic good person, since they think being a man inherently prevents you from being anything but a violent rapist. And a lot of FTMs don't want to be a promiscuous OnlyFans prostitute, so they think that being a man is the only way they can do anything meaningful with their lives outside of being sexualized.

We went from encouraging girls to study mathematics, to now saying that if you're a girl who can do mathematics, you're actually a man in a woman's body, since women only like Woman Things like looking sexy by doing their hair and makeup. Social media brainrot makes all of this even worse, with ragebait content getting the most clicks, so young men are shown content that makes them hate women and young women are shown content that makes them hate men.

Nail on the head. I knew a pooner who I was friends with before I really understand the trans shit, and really just tried being accepting and nice. They DID confide in me some things, including how they got raped as a child, and how it made them want to transition so they wouldn't be quote "a weak small woman anymore".

They are 2 sides of the same coin of thinking 1 side of the fence is nothing but a miserable existence, and trying to escape it

Re: picture: these are all a lie. Straight people get outed as straight, shamed, kicked out of their houses, not allowed to wed, robbed of their children, and honor-killed. There is straight conversion the rapy. And yes they're erasing straight history by pretending everyone notable was some flavor of faggot.
