Gays, We Brought The Backlash On Ourselves
The article expresses strong criticism of the LGBTQ+ activism in sports and public institutions, highlighting instances such as Major League Baseball reprimanding players for biblical inscriptions on their caps during pride events and altering team colors to display LGBTQ flags. The author claims that these actions are needless and unwelcome, suggesting they are driven by LGBTQ+ groups pressuring institutions to demonstrate solidarity. The piece argues that this push for visibility and acceptance has led to public resentment, declining support for LGBTQ+ rights, and a perception that the community is displaying excessive or inappropriate behaviors, especially when involving children. The author contends that the efforts to promote pride have overstepped and that it’s time for the community to tone down its activism, warning that further protests, like posting biblical verses, might be just the start of more backlash.
Editor’s note: This article discusses mature themes.
No gay has a right to be outraged over anyone, let alone random pro baseball players, subtly protesting all the gag-worthy rainbow nonsense that the LGBT military has been pushing down the public’s collective throat for years. People are tired of it and the gays did this to themselves.
Major League Baseball on Monday publicly reprimanded a few San Francisco Giants players who inscribed biblical verse references to the front of their caps at a recent “pride” night game, saying that the writings “violate[d] our rules.” By “our rules,” the MLB naturally means “whatever we decide is most convenient and accommodating to the people we’re afraid of.” That’s how every American corporation operates. It’s why in a pinch the MLB allowed and encouraged “Black Lives Matter” graffiti sprayed all over stadiums and uniforms in 2020, the Year of Our Floyd.
And it’s why for that “pride” event, players were issued baseball caps that replaced their traditional black, white, and orange team colors with the gaudy LGBT flags, a multi-chromatic mess of a palette that teeters on the edge of inducing a seizure, compelling the team to promote a certain type of sex and identity.
It will surely infuriate some gays to the point of tears to hear that a lot of people want nothing to do with their private lives. They weren’t interested before and they really don’t want to hear about it now. But the gays made them, intimidating corporations and institutions, both private and government, into showing obnoxious signs of solidarity and partnership, deeming it practically mandatory to celebrate “pride” for a full month, and beyond.
Grant Brisbee at The New York Times’ “Athletic” subsection said the Bible verse inscriptions were a signal “to ignore the humanity” of gays. Or maybe, a lot of people just wanted to play baseball. Or just watch it. They didn’t want a reminder that gays enjoy a specific kind of sex and expression. And not only a reminder, but a celebration of it. People you don’t know don’t care when it’s your birthday. Why should they be made to care about your sex life? The Bible references were peaceful protests against being forced to.
There was a time when gays were pressed to deny their realities, too often to the point of deadly consequence. That is still true sometimes. But San Francisco is certainly not that place, and neither is national television or a professional sports league. If anything, those places want you to be gay. Faking oppression all the time and everywhere is unattractive.
It’s long past time that gays settle down. Stop asking the nation to indulge your preoccupations and preferences. They’ve come to resent it. Public opinion is now turning against the gays. After decades of climbing acceptance, approval of same-sex relations has taken a nearly 10-point dip since 2022. Support for same-sex marriage is trending downward.
The rainbow thuggery isn’t cute anymore. It stopped being cute when the LGBT totalitarians equated “pride” with public sex, leather kink, and nipple clamps. Then they embraced those displays in front of children. (By the way, a lot of heterosexuals, white Democrat women in particular, bear equal responsibility for exposing their own children to the obscenity out of some perverted sense of empathy.)
The gays got a little too comfortable with our standing in this country. It should have been enough to be assured that we wouldn’t be assaulted or harassed just for existing and living discreet lives. Too many of us pressed our luck. That luck is quickly running out. Biblical verses in protest might only be the beginning.
