This really is one of those chicken-or-egg kind of questions. I'm wondering if it's really intimidation by the Trump administration's antipathy to all the revolting and unrestrained excesses of the alphabet soup sex cult. Which are plenty over the past four years - their demands, the ghastly and inappropriate visuals, the constant claim of persecution, even as every act screams 'LOOK AT ME,' etc.. Is that causing not just corporate sponsors but your average American to shy away from the antics of the new-and-improved rainbow flag-draped crowd?

OH MY GOD YOU LOOKED AT ME!!!! 🤬😭🤬😭🤬
Or if it's that the deviant, radical whackos who were permitted to usurp the movement long ago wore out their welcome, only had everyone too intimidated to tell them to kiss off. Maybe the Trump administration has, in fact, freed these groups from their societally imposed bonds of political correctness.
They can now speak relatively freely without fear of repercussion should they express their opinion of the whole 'pride' exercise.
In most cases, unless still trapped in the bowels of academia or an NGO somewhere, one is at last free to call a man a man, even if he's in a dress or to refuse to use pronouns, and feel liberated.
How twisted is that?
But the signs are everywhere that the Pride siege has been lifted and is damn near over.
In March, I told you how San Francisco's marquee Pride Parade and weekend was reeling from major corporate sponsorship abandonment.
The San Diego Pride organization has had itself a rough time, too. Besides the usual controversy, it didn't help that their featured artist started one of his music videos with a rousing 'LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA!' shout-out.
San Diego Pride Parade 2025 is in chaos: 5 executive directors in 2 years, 75% staff cut, major sponsors like Harrah’s & UCSD quit, controversy over a performer who opened a music video with “LONG LIVE THE INTIFADA”, military groups pulled out, & city taxpayers are on the hook… pic.twitter.com/2mDjDdlZhj

That exacerbated tensions within an already fractious organization, not to mention angering sponsors and local officials enough that they withdrew their support. I can't imagine why they wanted nothing to do with a Jew-hating deviant fest.
A letter signed by 30 people — many of them former staff members — criticized San Diego Pride's board, saying that high turnover and lack of direction plague the current staff.
...“We've heard rumors that they want to go back to a, there's just a festival and parade, versus being a Pride that's 365 with programs year-round,” Leyh added.
This, as the list of organizations pulling out of the Pride Festival grows by the day. Mainly due to musical headliner Kehlani and their stance on the conflict in Israel and Gaza.
“Have we ever seen this many withdrawals from the San Diego Pride Festival ever?” I asked.
“No,” said Leyh. “The short answer is no.”
...But those words didn’t seem to do the trick, as multiple Jewish organizations, UC San Diego, and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria will not be participating in the festival.
One local black critic got called a homophobe because he agreed and wondered why the city of San Diego, which has myriad financial problems already, was going to lay out almost $400K for the Pride events. Angry LGTwhatevers attacked, called him an ungrateful cur as LBGwhatevers were black 'allies,' and besides, the city supports black organizations, too.
Sadly for their argument, the fellow knew where to check that claim in the budget.
Perhaps the Black Community in San Diego should ask our so-called lgbtq “Allies” to borrow some of that budget.

It remains to be seen what will happen with their July events, as most local folks are over their stupid squabbles and spending money the city does not have to pay for their follies.
Meanwhile, those nice folks involved in all the Pride festivities closing out the month in San Francisco seemed to have had a whale of a time, even without as many sponsors.
'Whale' as in 'whaling on a reporter who asked if the sort of debauchery he was seeing was appropriate for the children along the route.'
I'll take it that's offensive.

Sure, these are all great, stable people who should be encouraged and supported.
The Toronto Pride parade has people flying the Iranian and the LGBTQ+ flag.

Gays are sick of what the events have become in the hands of the additional letters.
Gay news anchor (@alexharmstrong) says it perfectly: Pride is unnecessary & does NOT benefit gay people. Millions watch in horror as grown adults parade their fetishes in front of kids for an entire month.

The former Pride luster has rotted so far off this wilted rose that the San Francisco Standard ran an amazing story yesterday that I do not believe would have ever made the paper even a year ago.
It's about a 'traditional' end of Pride month bacchanal held in alleys that's always been illegal, noisy, and as you might not want to imagine, naughty in the extreme.
The difference in this piece?
It was entirely sympathetic to a poor nurse practitioner living on one of the party blocks. She had gone to bed early because she had a zero-dark-thirty wake-up, only to have the alley outside her window explode and stay that way all night long.
Illegal Pride party turns into vandalism orgy of graffiti, damaged homes
A rowdy, unsanctioned Pride party took a wild turn Saturday night in SoMa when revelers graffitied homes along an alleyway and smashed the windshield of at least one car.
Social media footage shows that the orgy of vandalism on Grace Street was part of the annual “Stud Alley” block party, at which hundreds illegally take over alleyways. The events have been known to cause thousands of dollars in damage.
Elizabeth Wayne, a nurse practitioner who lives on the block, said she planned to go to bed early to prepare for a 6:30 a.m. shift Sunday.
But that went out the window when Stud Alley organizers rolled out a DJ booth and soundstage around 9 p.m., then proceeded to blast “the loudest techno music I’ve ever heard” until 6 a.m., Wayne said.
I couldn't believe the quotes in a San Francisco paper.
...“I’m trying to keep transplant patients alive, and it’s really upsetting that these jerks are keeping me from doing my job,” she said. “It’s just so entitled and obnoxious.”
Nor did that reporter try to sugarcoat just how disgusting it all was, even in the first few paragraphs.
...Partygoers tagged buildings with messages including “queer joy = dead cops,” “outlaw heterosexuality,” “kill Peter Thiel,” and “EAT ASS.”
Footage shows that several climbed a fire escape to write “Free Palestine” on a rooftop.
Neighbors called police repeatedly, and when they finally did show up, they didn't break up the fun and games. They 'monitored' - California cops sure do that a lot.
But the coup de grâce was two lines from NP Wayne that seem to sum up how even easy-going Americans now view these out-of-control debaucheries...
...“I hate saying this, but this is a Republican fever dream,” Wayne said.
...and how they feel about playing nice with the whole flag-waving crowd of cross-dressing, deviant lunatics going forward.
...“It’s this whole renegade thing,” Wayne said. “But their renegade-ism is being assh**es.”
Girfriend sounds like she is over them.
Welcome to our world.
Your red pill is right over here.
