Pride before the fall | Eastern NC Now

By GARY BAUER at Patriot Post

Yesterday was the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots that erupted in New York City after police attempted to raid a gay bar called The Stonewall Inn. A year later, the first anniversary of the Stonewall Riots was celebrated with pride parades in a few major cities like Chicago, New York City and San Francisco.

Over the years since, what began as a day-long celebration of private sexual behavior somehow turned into an entire month-long public orgy of exhibitionism. That’s exactly what we witnessed at the Biden White House recently when some people stripped off their shirts and revealed their fake breasts. And that was the men!

But some LGBTQ activists still aren’t satisfied. “Admiral Rachel Levine,” Biden’s transgendered assistant secretary of Health and Human Services, has declared this to be a “Summer of Pride.”

Once mundane school board meetings that struggled to attract a dozen interested individuals are now major battlegrounds in the culture war. Hundreds of angry parents and taxpayers are showing up to protest policies that push insane gender theories into every single subject possible, even math!

And why is the Biden Administration pushing so-called “toolkits” for schools encouraging the creation of student clubs focused on “gender” and “sexuality”? Why are some adults so intent on pushing this perversion on our children?

Our public educational system is in an absolute crisis! Our schools are massively failing to teach the basics. There are much better uses of our tax dollars, but Biden is prioritizing “pride.” Why is this being tolerated?

When “Pride” marchers tell you they are “coming for your children,” believe them. They are.

As I wrote in a recent column at The Stream, there’s growing evidence that the “Pride pushers” and gender deniers have overreached. Two recent polls found that large majorities of Americans (60% and 73%) want companies to stay out of politics and stop pushing cultural agendas.

I am encouraged that more and more Americans are standing up and speaking out against this insanity. It must be checked soon. We are going down a path that no culture, no society has ever traveled before. And as we know, pride goes before the fall.
