Proud To Be AMERICAN!

With President Trump back in the White House, a renewed sense of patriotism is sweeping the nation. After years of eroded self-respect under the Biden Administration, America is beginning to heal. A significant shift is underway, moving away from the divisive individualism of LGBTQ pride and back toward a unifying American pride.

The rejection of identity politics at the federal level resonates with the majority of Americans, who believe personal romantic and sexual preferences should remain just that—personal. The Biden era's championing of 'Pride Month,' an explicit celebration of individualistic pride centered around the LGBTQ community—a small fraction of the population—has been decisively rolled back. This move is a victory for those who prioritize collective values over minority-driven agendas.

The Decline of Pride Month into Public Degeneracy

What began as relatively mild celebrations of gay lifestyles in the form of Pride Month and associated events like pride parades has spiraled into something far more troubling. In recent years, these events have devolved into displays of public nudity, explicit sex acts, and inappropriate costumes, often performed in full view of families and children. To say things have gone too far is an understatement. The innocence of children has been under attack, with Democrats and their allies championing an agenda that normalizes exposing young minds to hyper-sexualized environments. This is not about acceptance; it's about forcing a radical ideology onto the public square.

Corporate Complacence in the Identity Politics Grift

Major corporations were quick to jump on the identity politics bandwagon, adopting rainbow versions of their logos every June and signaling their allegiance to the cause. This wasn't about inclusion but about virtue-signaling to a vocal minority while alienating the majority. Pride Month, much like Black Lives Matter and socialist labor movements, became a grift—a tool used by the left to shame people of faith, nuclear families, and straight Americans into submission.

The message was clear: conform or be labeled a bigot. Meanwhile, veterans, who sacrifice so much for our nation, are honored with a single day, while the LGBTQ community was granted an entire month of federally endorsed celebration. In blue states and cities, Pride Month remains a fixture, underscoring the disconnect between the left's priorities and those of most Americans.

The Left's Preference for Gay Pride Over American Pride

The Biden Administration's priorities were laid bare when pride flags flew prominently at the White House and Capitol Building, signaling a preference for identity politics over national unity. This stood in stark contrast to the values of most Americans, who take pride in their country, faith, family, and shared successes. The left's obsession with elevating individual pride—often at the expense of collective virtue—stands in opposition to the humility and sacrifice that define true patriotism. Pride, as one of the seven deadly sins, is not a virtue to be celebrated but a self-centered impulse that divides rather than unites.

The Consequences of Unchecked LGBTQ Politics

The proliferation of LGBTQ politics has led to deeply troubling outcomes. Men competing in women's sports have undermined fair competition and eroded opportunities for female athletes. Men entering women's bathrooms and locker rooms have raised legitimate safety concerns. Perhaps most alarming is the push for puberty blockers, driven by Big Pharma's profit motives, which irreversibly harm children's bodies under the guise of "gender-affirming care."

Equally disturbing is the secrecy in schools, where educators hide children's new "identities" from parents, undermining family trust and parental rights. These are not isolated incidents but symptoms of an agenda that prioritizes ideology over reason and child welfare.

A Call for Collective Pride

Americans have much to be proud of—our nation's history, faith, resilience, and strong families. Collective pride is a virtue that binds us together, unlike the self-loving individualism of Pride Month. Celebrating one's personal identity as virtuous or altruistic is a distortion of values. The majority of Americans, who are not part of the LGBTQ community, have grown weary of minority rule, which has been weaponized to divide and conquer. The era of catering to a small but loud faction is over.

A More Noble Alternative: Veterans Pride Month

Imagine a Veterans Pride Month, dedicated to those who have made real, measurable sacrifices for our nation. Veterans embody the selflessness and courage that define America's spirit. Honoring them with a month of recognition would unite the country around shared values, unlike the divisive individualism of Pride Month. Veterans don't demand special treatment; they earn it through service. Replacing the focus on personal identity with a celebration of collective sacrifice would restore balance and honor to our national priorities.

The End of Minority Rule

President Trump's dismantling of the federal LGBTQ agenda and cancellation of Pride Month is a bold step toward reclaiming American pride. The majority of Americans, who value faith, family, and country, welcome this shift. Gone are the days when a vocal minority dictated the cultural conversation. It's time to celebrate what unites us—our shared love for America and the sacrifices of those who protect it. Let's honor our veterans, rebuild our national spirit, and move forward together as one nation under God.
