Backlash: Support for same-sex relationships drop — among Republicans and Democrat

Has the LGBTQ+ et al movement hit a ceiling — and has it sowed the seeds of its decline? For the first time since Gallup began polling on the question of same-sex relationships, American public approval of their morality suffered a statistically significant decline, falling seven points to its lowest level in four years. And while that decline has a strong partisan flavor, it’s also falling among its traditional allies.

Pride protests strain America’s multicultural project

A clash of ideologies is tearing the country apart

Earlier this month, the White House unfurled a Progress Pride flag flanked by two national flags. This prompted some to read the act as symbolising defeat of the Stars and Stripes by a new ruling ideology. Republican Senator Roger Marshall introduced a new bill to ban government buildings from flying any flag except the national one.

Why Japan doesn’t do Pride

Want to avoid Pride month? Bit tired of the, almost literally, in your face, carnival of uninhibited sexual freedom we see on our streets throughout June? Then come to Japan. It’s not that Pride doesn’t happen here at all, just that the Japanese for various cultural and historic reasons, don’t make a song and dance – or a borderline street cabaret – out of it.

Japan’s version ‘Rainbow Pride’ is held in April and lasts just two days. It was back on this year for the first time since 2019 and was apparently reasonably well-attended. I say ‘apparently’ because I saw no sign of it, nor watched or read a single report in the media. It was, to use an old-fashioned term, discreet.

Canada: ‘Pride’ vs. Freedom

In times like these — especially during “Pride Month” — it’s uplifting to encounter someone like Bill Whatcott, who has won against a tyrannical government pushing LGBT madness.

Canada has been even more militant than the U.S. against citizens who push back against that ruthless agenda. Canada has no First Amendment. And its “Charter Rights” that should guarantee free speech are easily ignored.

It’s a shame what Pride has become

Joe Biden and Transvestite Lover

It’s officially what the White House calls “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, And Intersex Pride Month.” Though I’m gay, I feel something besides pride on the occasion. The socially compulsory celebration now is something to dread. It means that for the entire month of June, you’ll get to hear about the plight of transgender people, just like you do the other 11 months of the year. It also means your social media feeds have become one long rainbow, littered with tacky memes about how we must “protect trans kids” and “respect polyamorous asexuals” or whatever. Or, if you lean right (which today means anywhere to the left of Mao Zedong), you’ll see a billion posts about how Bud Light betrayed the Founding Fathers by hiring Dylan Mulvaney as a spokesperson.

Ottawa commits $25M to create Canada’s first-ever LGBTQ entrepreneurship program – Fine if they open a bakery and leave everyone else alone

The federal government has committed $25 million to create Canada’s first-ever LGBTQ entrepreneurship program, an investment one trailblazer called a “game-changer.”

Small Business and Economic Development Minister Mary Ng said the program will help build a more inclusive economy and society.

“This is the first program of its kind in the world,” she said in an interview after the announcement at the Global 2SLGBTQI+ Business Summit and Supplier Diversity Forum in Kingston, Ont.

It’s the only one because no one else is dumb enough to waste money on this crap.

Against the Pride Flag

It’s June, when one can be forgiven for thinking we live in the United States of LGBTQIA2S+.

Old Glory is, at best, supplemented with, and sometimes supplanted by, the pride flag in all its varieties.

The flag, which has become more and more unsightly, is ubiquitous. Its increasingly elaborate jumble of clashing stripes — whether seen in a store, at a ball game, or on U.S. government buildings — is a reminder to get with the program, and that the program is always changing.

The nasty side of Pride

For a month that’s supposed to be all about love and acceptance, Pride has a pretty nasty streak. Maybe that’s what one of the mysterious colours on its indecipherable flag represents: the cruelty community.

Consider Oxfam’s Pride animation, which it tweeted out earlier this week. Alongside all the usual Pride platitudes – we must love and respect LGBTQIA+ people, the cartoon characters say – the video went in for some Terf-bashing too.

Colby Cosh: A lesson in liberalism for a teacher who should know better

As an Edmontonian, I have to be honest about my initial reaction to audio of a local teacher berating Muslim students who skipped class during Pride events. That reaction was, of course, a spasm of post-traumatic stress. I have been in the presence of teachers punctuating a very funny meltdown with warnings of, “It’s not funny.” I may even have been the cause of some.

GUNTER: Edmonton teacher’s intolerant rant shows ‘progressive’ hypocrisy

What an unnamed teacher said to Muslim students at Londonderry Junior High tells us a lot about the true nature of tolerance among “progressives.”

Our enlightened “progressives” are all in favour of multiculturalism until the values of new Canadians conflict with today’s “progressive” view of sacred causes.

So long as ethnic and racialized Canadians are useful pawns in “progressive” crusades against “white privilege,” colonialism and capitalism, for instance, “progressives” are minorities’ greatest champions.

York Catholic school protest takes hostile turn

Students at a number of Catholic schools in York Region in the Greater Toronto Area held walkouts Thursday to demonstrate against the board’s recent decision not to fly the Pride flag outside of their headquarters during Pride month. But at one school, those protests took an unexpected turn.

Dozens of students participated in the walkout at St. Brother Andre in Markham.

“Everyone has a right to love who they want to love and I believe the York District Catholic School Board has infringed upon that,” said student Angelina Martin.


First I heard that failure to raise a flag is an infringement of your rights but over the top dramatics have long been the MO of groomers. They are so self-important the entire world is against them, 24/7. I don’t know how I find time to sleep at all!

There is video of the school protest at the link above, I am wondering if the students who trashed the groomer banners were Muslim or a Mix. It seems a closely held secret.

Note the mix of protesters in Ottawa in the video below. The alliance of Muslims and Christians against the groomers got its start in the US and it is scaring the bejeebers out of the left. This is not the intersectionality they had hoped for. 

Well at least he had an answer.

Canada’s Tolerance Meter Just Broke

What happens when an unstoppable progressive force meets an immovable progressive wall? Apologies, for starters. Once again, Canada, America’s nutty neo-fascist neighbor to the north, has broken new ground in Leftist weirdness. As you know all too well at this point, it is Pride month here, there, and everywhere. And Canada is no exception. The current ruling class of Canucks has never met a progressive mantra it didn’t enthusiastically embrace. But unlike a certain brand of peanut butter cups whose name I cannot mention, sometimes two great tastes don’t go great together.
